Sumptuous illustration by Cat O’Neil for the FT to accompany an article on how parents’ school selection options can take advantage of the International School system.
A hearty congratulations to Paul Rogers on his SOI award for his portrait of baseball player, Christy Mathewson. Originally commissioned by The New Yorker, this terrific image captures a player’s gravitas at the height of his powers.
We are so happy to announce that Lisa Perrin will be joining us here at Killington Arts. There is so much to discover about Lisa – did you know that she runs a DomestiKa course on Unique Packaging Illustration? She is also an award-winning artist and professor of illustration at Maryland Institute of Art, Baltimore. A consummate storyteller and visual yarn spinner, she draws on the curious and humourous tales of Eastern Europe. Lisa’s elegant pieces carry a dark humour, and this, coupled with her exquisite hand lettering, allows us to see the world anew through her glorious book jackets and printed art. You can view her portfolio here.
We are so thrilled to be able to share Cat O’Neil’s exquisite illustration for The London Library. Each year the library commissions an illustrator to highlight one unique element of the library space for their beautiful Christmas card. Cat chose the fascinating back stack ventilation system that creates a magical play of light which, to an artist’s eyes, creates the perfect Christmas tree….

The cards are available to purchase on the London Library web page and all proceeds go towards supporting the library.
Fabulous images by Ailsa Johnson for team communication platform Slack. As ever, Ailsa’s design work hits the spot and her palette is exquisite.
Absolutely stunning new cover image by Kuri Huang for the Fairloot special edition of The Night Ends in Fire by K.X. Song. Kuri captures the intrigue and power of the novel beautifully.

Hodderscapes’s notes read, ‘Raised to Obey. Destined to Rebel.’ Dressed as a boy the heroine enlists to the imperial draft in her feckless father’s place. This is a story of love, courage and determination with commanding artwork to match!
This powerful album sleeve by Paul Rogers was one of a series for Milan Records which covered an array of classic soundtracks and greatest hits collections.
