AOI Illustration Awards 2013 Shortlist

Good news! My work in Mark Magazine has been shortlisted for the 2013 AOI Illustration Awards in the Editorial – New Talent category. Luckily the creature didn't set his paw on Somerset House!

Title - The Circle!

Client - Frame Publishers

Published in Mark Magazine #39 

Mark Magazine #39

I am happy to have been featured in the Cross Section of the August/September issue of Mark Magazine. The article includes a short interview by Silvie Schaefer together with images of the illustrations inspired by the Barbican Estate and Guy's Hospital in London Bridge, which has been recently dwarfed by the Shard. I have taken a few photos of the magazine against the weathered wooden floor of our flat in East London. This issue has a strong focus on the future plans for the Olympic park. I found particularly interesting the article on architects firm Cadaval & Solà-Morales.

The Circle's on Fire!

Last entry about the Barbican inspired works. This time it's the Circle, and he's hot! Yeah, because he's eaten a very spicy chilli and needs to drink water from the Thames to cool himself down. People at the Southbank must be freaking out to see such a massive creature looming over right across Waterloo bridge. Let's hope he won't have a nap anywhere near!

This set of works are done by combining photos and digital drawing.
