Illustrations for Esquire - July 2010 Issue

The July issue of Esquire magazine has just been published. Here are some illustrations I created for the fiction story.

Penguin Book Cover

Last year I was commissioned to illustrate a cover for the Vladimir Nabokov novel Bend Sinister. It is one of a series of Nabokov covers that have been re-released by Penguin. Pentagram designed the layout and background pattern for each book and a different illustrator was asked to illustrate each one. Here is the cover for Bend Sinister, which was released last week.

Supply Management illustration

This is an illustration I created for the April issue of Supply Management for their Business Travel supplement. The drawing illustrates an article about the increasing number of ancillary fees that are being introduced by many low-cost and mainstream airlines. Commissioned through Private View Agency.

Illustration for Popshot

Here is an illustration I created for the current issue of Popshot, a poetry and illustration magazine where each issue contains a collection of poems written to a theme. A selection of illustrators are then invited to each interpret and illustrate one of the poems. My image illustrates a poem entitled 'Taking Off Our Shoes' by Hollie McNish. The image was created using graphite and colour pencil.

Go Red!

I was asked to create a piece of work for 'Go Red!', a charity event for The Richard House Children's Hospice. Illustrators and artists each created an image of either a head, body or legs, then the images will be arranged together to produce an assortment of weird and wonderful creatures. The images will then be auctioned at the Coningsbury Gallery in London and all proceeds will go to the hospice. Here is my 'robot contraption legs' contribution! More info and other works can be found on the 'Go Red' website.

Graphite Camera Drawings - new print

More cameras! Here is a new print that I've added to my Etsy shop. Recently, I've been doing quite a lot of drawing using just graphite pencil. Here is a collection of some new graphite camera drawings.

Esquire Short Story

Here is an illustration I created for the April issue of Esquire magazine, for a short fiction story called 'Watch'.
