Mothers of the World!
Fabulous illustration by Loris Lora for New York Times to accompany an article entitled ‘Neglecting Yourself Doesn’t Make You a Better Mother’. New reports out this week state that mothers are doing 67% more childcare than men during the lockdown. Let’s not neglect ourselves ladies…
Tasty Treat from Ailsa Johnson
Some lovely new works by Ailsa Johnson for Compound Butter Magazine this month. The warmth of her palette really brings the text to life.
Cat O’Neil for Guardian Observer
Happy Monday! Our London weekend was a rather cold and wet one but the Lovely Cat O’Neil brought warmth and joy with her exquisite work for Observer Food Monthly – ‘Korean Cooking, my Mother and me’. Rob Allison’s powerful piece on learning to define his identity, his role and people’s attitudes to difference through his mother’s cooking made the weekend really rather sunny. Many thanks to Paul Reed for this splendid commission.

Enjoy!
I Heart the Oscars…
A beautiful new illustration by Loris Lora for the LA Times to accompany an article on the new year’s Oscars entitled ‘I Heart the Oscars, Even With All the Weirdness’.
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.
