We hope you enjoyed this issue of Illustration and are looking forward to the next one. We have loads of exciting articles and interviews lined up for the rest of the year and beyond. We will be interviewing Axel Scheffler about his award-winning work on The Gruffalo (among other books) and artist and TV presenter Jonathan Scott about his wildlife illustrations. As Ambit magazine celebrates its 50th birthday, we will ask for tips from the editors and artists who have made it both a ground-breaking literary and artistic magazine and ensured its long success. We will explore the work of prolific American artist Frank E Schoonover and will bring on the glamour when we learn about the art of ski posters. Lovers of mid-20th-century lithographs will enjoy our feature on the books and illustrations of Enid Marx, while those looking for something more recent can expect a discussion on skateboard art. Meanwhile, Israeli artist Mordechai Beck will discuss his illustrations for fine press editions of the books of the Bible.
Big names from the past who we will cover in the future include Thomas Bewick, Charles Mozley, Alan Reynolds Stone, Edward McKnight Kauffer and James Boswell. We will learn about the work of Charles Dana Gibson, creator of the “Gibson Girls, will find out about the artists who made Penguin books familiar to readers of all ages and will explore the archives of Mervyn Peake and Osbert Lancaster.
All this, plus work by new graduates, the best books, events and exhibitions and the work of fine presses. |
