After the roaring success of last years film inspired, Cinemascope Exhibition, and gaining the Brighton, Fringe Festival 2009 ‘Best in Show Winners’ award, Boxbird are back and aiming for that grand prize again. This time round they have opted for the handmade approach, asking all artists involved to produce something using contemporary printmaking skills & Illustration. The theme this year is equally exciting, inspired by travel, and weird and wonderful adventures, and just the few previews above show the diversity in styles and imagination for the amazing journey that will be the A to B Exhibition.
“…Join Boxbird and over 30 artists from across the globe for one of the Brighton Fringe Festival’s most eagerly anticipated exhibitions with new and exclusive work by some incredible talent including Jon Burgerman, Graham Carter, Lidia de Pedro, Peepshow Illustration Collective and Modern Toss…” – Boxbord Gallery
Unfortunately, we don’t have anymore information on other artists’ submissions, we do however have details about ‘Chasing Constellations, Screenprint, Stephen Chan’ that I would love to share with everyone (sorry for the shameless plug again).

The Picture Book Report is a brand new illustration project dreamed up by the super talented painter/doodler, Meg Hunt.
“..Picture Book Report is an extended love-song to books. Fifteen illustrators will reach out to their favorite books and create wonderful pieces of art in response to the text that has moved them, shaped them, or excited them. From sci-fi to children’s books to fantasy to serious novels, we’ll cover them all..” – Meg Hunt
So, at the beginning of each month 15 new illustrations will be released, one after the other starting with the covers. The story has started this month with Meg Hunt’s ‘Alice in Wonderland, and Will Bryant’s ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’. It’s quite exciting waiting for the next picture to come out each day, and seeing how each artist depicts their favourite book. With so much to see, and new illustrations from such wonderful artists nearly everyday, it’s a project to be bookmarked right away.
Contributors: Meg Hunt, Will Bryant, Sam Bosma, Julia Sonmi Heglund, John Martz, Andrea Kalfas, Lizzy Stewart, S.britt, Daniel Krall, PMurphy, Israel Sanchez, Jeremy Sorese, Laura Park, Phil McAndrew, Kali Ciesemier

I would say Fifi Lapin is the ultimate Diva in the world of character illustration. She is a sweet bunny with big silk ears, and doesn’t only have a strong interest in carrots, carrot cakes and carrot juices like ordinary bunnies do; she is also dressed in the most glamorous and elegant outfits, following the latest trends of fashion and updating her wardrobe every few days. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Galiano, Topshop are just some of the distinguished brands and designers Fifi can be seen sporting!

Today I stumbled upon a real treat. Well, more accurately, a treat stumbled its’ way to me. I received an email from an illustrator & cartoonist called Grant Gilliland. He said some nice words about our site, but more importantly, when I went to visit his site I loved what I found!
Based out of Boston, USA and going under the name of The Gross Uncle, Grant’s done a stack of really great work covering children’s book illiustration, customs and editorial stuff. And you can even get your hands on very reasonably priced hand-drawn original drawings and hand-customised trainers on request!!!
So if you have five spare minutes today then we can’t recommend enough a visit to Grant’s blog to see his drawings, a trip to Hand Painted Customs to see his mod’d trainers and definitely a trip to Theo In The Making, where Grant talks through the process of creating his first book, and shows stacks of ace storyboards, character illos and process pics!

It’s always a pleasure to see new work from Mike Perry, as we’re massive fans of his colourful hand-drawn typography and illustration, so we’re definitely liking his latest project! Done for online Indie store Insound, it’s called Insound Classic 10 and involved Mike taking ten iconic post-punk and indie rock bands from 1977-1997 and putting together some fresh merchandise for them. Each of the designs (four of which are above) are being printed as limited edition tees, tote bags and silk-screened posters. And, the results are flippin’ awesome! They’re released in September and you can pre-order them from the Insound store now.
And if you’re a fan, then be sure to check out the interview we did with Mike.

During the weekend, I was scouting around forbidden planet for a nice birthday present for a friend, and came across this book, ‘So Good For Little Bunnies’. I opened it up and my inner child suddenly jumped out and in to this surreal and dream like world, each page bringing a smirk to my face.
Self-taught and emotionally driven, the uber talented Brandi Milne produces such beautifully sweet work, sugar coated, very addictive and makes your eyes drool. She published ‘ So Good For Little Bunnies’ back in the summer of 2008 with Baby Tattoo Books (their website has a lot of these little gems).
It was a great discovery which I really wanted to share, a nice book for your collection. Brandi’s work is also featured in both written and online publications such as Hi Fructose Magazine, Babyboss Magazine and juxtapoz.com.
More of her products can be bought through her online shop.
