Christmas Gift Inspiration!
Such a lovely set of covers from the wonderful Sarah Gibb for Harper Collins. I can think of quite a few little ones who’d love to unwrap these on Christmas morning!
Chic in Shanghai
Such a powerful image by the wonderful Joe Morse. This striking piece graces a DJ booth in an achingly cool Shanghai club.
In praise of Illustration
Cat O’Neil and I were very touched to see a letter in the FT on Saturday extolling the beauty and sensitivity of her image in the Life & arts Section last week. I did spend the weekend trying to track down The Rev. Sally Wells to thank her but without luck. If any of you know her or happen to be in or around Salisbury in the coming days do please pass on or warmest wishes to her and her daughter.
It does of course highlight how very important an illustration can be in not only explaining a text but also allowing it to resonate and connect with the reader on a personal level.
Re-Brand at Sommerhonning
Lovely to finally see the label re-design images by Charlotte Knox. Our thanks go out to all the staff at S T Design for another super commission and for the excellent pack shot.

Sparkling Souvenirs from Tokyo
Having spent several years immersed in the fascinating culture of Tokyo, Ailsa Johnson decided to capture her experiences through a collection of striking images which span the divide between the real and the imagined. This collection has received a beautiful review in Pen Magazine which is definitely worth a read.
The Goose is Getting Fat…
Now that we have tipped over in to December we thought it was safe to mention that our Christmas Behance collection is available here. Images include this one from the super talented Sarah Gibb.
Deft Touch for a Challenging Text
Another beautiful image from Cat O’Neil for the FT over the weekend. This poignant work accompanied a bittersweet piece by Carrie Jade Williams on the reality of dying from Huntington’s Disease. As ever, Cat’s sensitive handling and deft touch allowed the image to carry this challenging text with aplomb. Such an achievement when timings are, by necessity, so very tight on editorial briefs. Thank you Cat.
Joe Morse’s Rolling Stone Images

This powerful image of Eddie Vedder has always been one of our favourites.
