Bill Wyman Logo

Ruth Rowland works on the new Bill Wyman logo for his official web site.
Ruth says "The development stage included a range of hand rendered styles, from handwriting akin to his own signature to this wilder version of his name using a dry brush to create a distressed, edgy mark. Combined with the designer's bold background and retro photo, the lettering makes a powerful impact on the music legend's homepage."

Grab a Good Book

Vicky Scott completes another illustration for Smart B*tches Trashy Books.
Used on their website, the design was created to convey the idea of relaxing and curling up with a good book. This is the second in a series of illustrations featuring the quirky looking girl and her cat which Vicky has produced for the 'intelligent, romantic novel review site'.

Have you seen our new website?

After months of redesigning and thinking of how we can help you make your selection better, we are very excited to launch our new website.

A sharpened design so you can fly around many of the worlds' finest illustrators and then, when some work catches your eye, dive straight into their artwork in hi res, downloading portfolios, making collections, sending them to colleagues and tracking past jobs.

MyIllustration becomes YOUR website

It becomes YOUR website at MyIllustration, so please sign up. (btw, if you struggled with registering before fear not, we have learned our lesson and now it works properly).

There is more information on the artists and their work, including many video interviews. And we, their privileged agents, reveal all (well some) on the Meet The Team page.

Don't miss the testimonials that have had us all blushing, sent in by clients and artists alike.

There are other new handy features that will reveal themselves to you after a quick poke around, and we'd love to highlight a page that explains how every single one of our clients helps us to plant 1 Million Trees over the next 5 years.

Kruegerol and Phipps

Richard Phipps works with SchwertnerStormDeFries GmbH to produce the art for German cough sweet manufacturer Kruegerol's website. His style is put to excellent effect and animated on the homepage to a period reminiscent of the past.

Paxton: Keys versus Keycard

Nick Murray Willis's work for Paxton continues with this animation explaining the benefits of a keycard in the workplace. Nick's clever use of line and clear thinking has produced this piece of moving art which gets the message across with a sense of fun. Nick says “I had to approach this animation differently to the previous Paxton animation, I thought showing the advantages of the keycard at the same time as disadvantages of an ordinary key would be really effective. The timing had to be spot on so not to confuse the viewer with the double scenario.” Nick has been commissioned to produce one animation per month for Paxton, to be used on their website. Watch the animation now.

Readathon

 

 

Keith Robinson was really pleased to be asked to redesign the branding for the children's reading charity Readathon.  He had to create a unique character (now named Jamie) in a simple and bold style to be used on web and print branding, and also to design a hand-drawn Alphabet for the logo and other 'Headlines' text. Readathon encourages reading for pleasure, reading for fundraising and reading to help sick children, so a very worthy cause, Keith says "The logo itself had to incorporate Jamie being lifted up by a balloon, to convey the joy of reading for pleasure. In the future I will be creating more illustrations for use on promotional material. They will feature Jamie and other characters as they enjoy the adventure of reading."

Nina Say Cheese

 Victoria Ball’s very cute illustrations for photographer Vanessa Lewis are now live on NinaSayCheese. Victoria has created some wonderful animal characters very suitable for the photographer's genre of work; she creates quirky, ethereal sets in which to photograph her child subjects. Victoria says “It was a fresh challenge for me to produce illustrations for use on a website. For this job, I worked in lots of separate layers so that there was the potential for elements to be animated further down the line. It was great to see it all come together with Vanessa's gorgeous photos.” And the photos are pretty amazing.  Have a look.
