Currently wowing all at the Perth Fashion Week is this anti-drink drive animation from the amazing Sarah Beetson.
The animations were projected onto the sides of several buildings in Perth City Centre, with the tagline: “Champers hampers driving skills”. Never has a police warning looked so cool.

Claire’s Cambridge Colours

This cheery design is the handiwork of Claire Rollet who is mid-way through a massive project for ELT Cambridge University Press.
Working alongside Tina Clarke at Pentacor Book Designers, the 6-level series is being published worldwide. Says Claire: “They are still hand-drawn with indian ink but the colouring I've done is much more vivid than my usual toned down palette. They're fun and fresh, quite cartoonish.”

With Friends Like Tanja........

Tanja Szekessy's stand-out illustration work has been unleashed on six full-page images, and one front cover, for DAS MAGAZIN's December issue. With art direction from Inka Baron, and the theme of "friends" as the basic brief, Tanja's humorous and warmly odd illustrations each represents well-known friendships or relationships - such as the Three Musketeers, the Seven Dwarfs, and the girlie-crowd from "Sex & The City" - albeit without showing the original scenes or characters.

Paper Artist Bertand Le Pautremat

New to our already-fabulous hub of artistic talent comes the highly-gifted and well-known paper artist Bertand Le Pautremat. His deceptively-clever use of paper has a distinct and refreshing look, and has already featured widely in advertising, educational books and annual reports.

Bag Lady Sarah

The incomparable Sarah Beetson has sold the rights for the US company Littlearth to use one of her illustrations on one of their very wonderful Fender bags. Retailing at $280 a piece, we are sure her design will sit very comfortably on these particularly cool accessories! Littlearth discovered Sarah through our site.

The BBC Goes Colour With Christopher

Working with Paul Hocking at BBC Audio Books, Christopher's task has been to interpret "the really expressive story-telling" heard on the CDs in his own vividly colourful way. The first two audio books are out this month.
