Beautiful additions to Ailsa’s Portfolio!
Oh my word! Such beautiful new illustration work by Ailsa Johnson. You can see so many of her new images on our Behance pages. Elegant and modern, stylish and fresh…
The Power of Sport
Exceptional piece of illustration by Paul Rogers for a recent edition of The New Yorker. As ever, Paul captures the dynamism, the guts and the glory of sport in his accompaniment to an article on the rise of the underdog.
American Illustration inclusion for Paul!
So happy to announce that Paul Rogers has also had a piece accepted into the American Illustration 44 catalogue this year. The piece chosen was for The New Yorker and the cover was commissioned to capture what it means to be French during the Paris 2024 Olympics – the sense of pride, history and that ‘je ne sais quoi’. No mean feat.
He chose a favourite French film character, Monsieur Hulot to pay tribute to Paris’ long history of design and the arts. A wonderful mixture of elegance and charm – just like the city itself.
Another accolade for Hanoch Piven!
Absolutely thrilled to announce that the hugely talented Hanoch Piven has also secured a spot in the prestigious American Illustration catalogue again this year. Congratulations Hanoch!

The portrait chosen was a heartwarming one of Andrew Cuomo created for City & State.
Congratulations to Gen Arai!
Congratulations to the wonderful Gen Arai on his inclusion in this year’s American Illustration catalogue. He secured two spots, which is an enormous honour and so well deserved.

Gen Arai has a way of depicting landscapes steeped in memory and nostalgia. His handling of light and shade in this exquisite cover image brings back summers past and asks questions about the reliability of rose-tinted recollections. Gen has created an array of landscapes that bring into focus seasonal changes and our response to our constantly changing environment.
Hearty Congratulations to Joe Morse!
Huge congratulations again to Joe Morse for his inclusion into the American Illustration annual. This fabulous portrait of Senna is to form part of an exciting new project with TMBRWN so watch this space…
Sensitive New Work from Cat O’Neil
A sensitive and empathic image from Cat O’Neil on the legal defence of migrants for RevueXXI. In her Instagram post, she discusses the important decisions that need to be made when approaching subjects like this. Is your focus to lie with the experience of the migrants, the defence lawyers, the prosecutors or should it take in the wider, often political context? We think she got the balance spot on…
Hollywood Glamour from Owen Freeman
Another brand new image from Owen Freeman. This intriguing cover illustration for Stephen Rebello’s new book Criss-Cross: The Making of Strangers on a Train tells the back story of Hitchcock’s dazzling, subversive masterpiece.
.
Meticulously researched and stylishly written, this book is a must for all of us who have loved the film. As ever, Owen takes the subject matter and runs with it. His drama and cinematic styling are a perfect combination for bringing us a taste of 1950s Hollywood.
