Pietari Posti
cover for swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome.
I really like the colour scheme. The blues against the orange really contrasts each other and it draws the eyes in. The series of images all link which is something I like too.
George Butler
Illustrations for 'Syria: the point of no return' by Martin Chulou, in Guardian G2.
I really like the fluid feel of the illustrations even when the colours melt into each other alongside the pen making it feel blurred and in motion. I also like the way there is a lot of white going on in the image. It gives a pure sense to the work where as in Syria you believe it to be colours of beige, yellows etc.
Anna and Elena Balbusso
Illustrations for Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin. Published by the Folio Society, London 2012.
They are twins that work together. They use both hand drawn and digital work which is something I really enjoy doing myself. I love the way it creates a different effect to a single medium work. I like the way they have added colour in photoshop as well.
