The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase

This masterpiece drawn by Rohan Eason appears on the front cover of the childrens' classic 'The Wolves of Willoughby Chase'. Published by Vintage, Rohan has also illustrated the sequel 'Black Hearts in Battersea' due out this month. He says "...the last illustrator to do them was one of my favourites, Edward Gorey, so I was very excited to be given the chance to do the new versions."

See No Evil

Andy Council recently took part in See No Evil in Bristol, the UK’s most ambitious and largest permanent street art project.  Council produced this large scale 'Bristol Chicken' mural alongside some of the world's biggest names in Street Art.  To help promote the event Council and four other Bristol artists were asked to do their own version of the Bristol Post's Masthead.  In his unique style the Masthead incorporates 'The Post', Bristol and a dinosaur... all in one!

The special editions of The Post could be set to become collectors editions in years to come.

ESPN Paper doll

This paper doll with choice of outfits was created by Heather Landis for ESPN. She says " They needed a paper doll with a variety of dresses including a sports outfit - a 'casual' cubs uniform. They used it as an animation in their documentary about team spirit." See the documentary here. (5 mins 30 secs in.)

Ruth Rowland has recently produced this hand lettered title for Edinburgh publishing house; Canongate Books. Ruth's creation 'works with the evocative image to give the cover an intimate, confessional feel.'

Mega Sandwich

Steinar Lund's stomach must have rumbled when he created this 'mega sandwich' for The Mail on Sunday at the end of last month.  Used in the newspaper's 'Live Magazine', the image was to show the top fillings for sandwiches in the UK. Steinar says "I photographed all the various fillings separately, a few bread slices then compiled them in Photoshop. The client wanted an illustrated look so I went over the artwork with a digital brush to get the desired effect." Mmmmm...
