Sunday Lunch

Pie, biscuits and tea? As you can tell, I certainly know what healthy eating is all about! This is an image I did as a test piece for a client in Educational publishing a few weeks back. While everybody really liked it we unfortunately couldn't move forward with the project for other reasons. So this is one for the 'unpublished file'.

Magpie's Nest.

A few months back my friend Will and I collaborated on side project to make a video that accompanies the debut single by South London band The Bridport Dagger. Click the image above to see a larger version of the stills or click the link below to watch the video on youtube.

Postgraduate Plagiarism

Site update June 2008

There have been a few changes behind the scenes here at Loopland. After many months of mucking about my new site design is finally unleashed on the public. Hopefully the new site is working ok, If you spot anything that is clearly broken then please let me know!

The above image is a reworking of my El Presidente drawing (featured in the dim and distant past on this blog). Mr presidente is pencilled in for the Hot Rods and Hairy Beasts show comming up in the Autumn.

Hot Rods and Hairy Beasts

An Illustration show - Coningsby Gallery

Hot Rods, Hula Girls, Hairy Beasts, Himalayan Head Hunters and the Holy Bible are just some of the subjects under discussion by illustrators Linzie Hunter, Rod Hunt, Nishant Choksi and Allan Sanders. No subject is too small for this group of seasoned professional illustrators and adventurers. With clients spanning the world of advertising, publishing, design and editorial this band of battle scarred buccaneers are prepared for the eventuality of just about anything. Their motto is simple : to illustrate the obscure ...and beyond!

Linzie Hunter The terrifying Linzie Hunter orginated from the barren highlands of Scotland but now resides in a North London suburb where she feasts on worms and grubs whilst working for clients including Random House, BBC, The Guardian & Little Brown. Linzie recently hit the headlines with her lettering work based on the spam e-mails in her inbox. Her book "Secret Weapon: 30 hand-painted spam postcards" is published by Chronicle Books in Autumn 2008.

Rod Hunt Born in rural Dorset, the diabolical Rod Hunt now inhabits the swampland of Greenwich, South London where he feeds mostly on shrubs and berries. Rod has developed a reputation for retro tinged illustrations & detailed character filled landscapes and among his client list he includes FHM, Maxim and Vodafone. Notably Rod illustrated the cover of the best selling book “Change the World 9 to 5” published by We Are What We Do. He is also Deputy Chairman of the Association of Illustrators.

Nishant Choksi The monstrous Nishant Choksi orginated from a murky lagoon in the centre of London and is now often found foraging in the wooded areas of Crouch End. A real life B-Movie monster, Nishant is inspired by advertising of the 40’s and 50’s and has worked for The Washington Post, The Guardian, JWT, Macmillian and others. Nishant recently worked on a prominent print ad campaign for Vodafone and has just completed work on his first TV spot for them.

Allan Sanders Born in the frozen tundra of the Northern wastlelands, the horrendous Allan Sanders, a mostly hairless biped, now resides near the water in a settlement known as Brighton. Existing on a diet of rock pool delicacies, Allan has produced quirky, character-based and often humorous illustrations for clients including New Scientist, The Economist, The Guardian and The LA Times. Last year Allan became the poster boy for The Oregon Humane Society’s “End Petlessness” campaign.
