Alexis New Prints

Alexis has been working on some personal projects and creating some truly gorgeous prints lately, here's a snapshot of her book cover design for Ben Aaronovitch's 'Rivers of London' and label for Bunnahabhain's Whiskey.

Classrooms of the Future

Robin’s recent editorial for PC Pro magazine illustrates a classroom of the future. It depicts multi touch-screen tabletops, interactive holograms and, our favourite, 3D printers – where students can bring their art projects to life...

All of Robin Boyden's editorial work can be seen in his portfolio. "Classrooms for the Future' is featured in Pc Pro's May issue.

'The Red Shoes'

Rachel Cloyne has been turning her attentions to book cover design. Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Red Shoes' is the first in a series of covers that Rachel is currently working on...

You can also see her beautifully designed endpapers for 'The Red Shoes' over in her portfolio. Up next is a re-design of The Secret Garden.

Should've Gone to Specsavers

Fay Dalton was commissioned by Specsavers to create a Grease-inspired print ad for a production of the musical, which Specsavers are proud to support. It forms part of their prolific 'Should've Gone to Specsavers' campaign.

Bluewater's Easter Extravaganza

Magictorch’s latest commission was an advertising campaign for Bluewater’s Easter Extravaganza. Their work featured online, in the local press and at train stations advertising the event.

'Snowflakes'

Laura Ellen Anderson and Cerrie Burnell’s first collaboration, ‘Snowflakes’, was unveiled in style at Scholastic’s stand in Bologna last month with its very own lightbox! We can’t wait to see ‘Snowflakes’ in print this coming October.

An unusual ABC Book

Hanako has been developing an exciting board book idea, which we are taking to Bologna this week. This is just a sneak preview of the gorgeous series of illustrations she has created for the project so far.

A Dolls House Colouring Book

Kate has just completed a commission for Buster Books, illustrating their ‘Dolls House Colouring Book’. Each spread features a different home from tree house to palace for children to colour in and explore.

Boxer Books Development Deal

Laura has signed a development deal with Boxer Books following the success of ‘Kittens’ and ‘Puppies’ at recent book fairs. The next two books in the series will be called ‘Chicks’ and ‘Bunnies’ and we already love Laura's artwork.

New Signing - Emma Reynolds

We're chuffed to announce our new signing, recent graduate Emma Reynolds. Emma brings a striking, predominantly monotone portfolio to Pickled ink, ideal for young fiction titles.

Patently Obvious

Robin has a couple of new editorial illustrations in BBC Focus magazine's April edition...

Patently Obvious, a regular article on the latest Scientific Discoveries, looks at Google's 'augmented reality specs' that provide a stream of information (messages, train times etc) via the lens, and heralds land rovers with computerised brains to negotiate difficult surfaces.

Mibblio App

Beatrice Costamagna has illustrated an interactive storybook app for Mibblio. 'Mibblets' are illustrated story-songs for your ipad that allow children to sing and play along to the music while reading.
