Her artwork has attracted clients such as the V&A Museum, Island Records and Dazed & Confused. She is also known for her popular Vessel print series featuring mini ecosystems in enclosed worlds, and her magical dumpling characters, the sumo babies.
Adam Ellison’s witty illustrations communicate concepts and between-the-lines ideas using subtle and intelligent graphical imagery. His textural and playful drawings tell a story by giving familiar imagery a twist, challenging and engaging the viewer, conveying poignant ideas, personality and humour. His client list includes Unilever, Time Out London, Big Issue and Waterstone’s magazine Books Quarterly. He is a University of Brighton graduate, based in London, and also a website designer.
The quirky characters of Daniel Frost's playful illustrations come to life through their subtle and expertly captured expressions. He uses bright primary colours and traditional mediums such as pencil crayons to create magical worlds straight out of a story book. A graduate of the RCA, he is a winner of the Oberon award for book illustration, has exhibited in London and Copenhagen and worked for clients such as Tate Britain, Its Nice That and YCN.

A University of Brighton graduate, he is now based in London, and enjoys experimenting with new materials and techniques to keep his work fresh.
Rachel Lattimore’s illustration and design work delves into magical worlds of psychedelia and nostalgia; her collage using familiar imagery, her pen and ink drawings using sixties styling.

She graduated from the University of Brighton with a First, and is based in Essex.
Ciara Phelan’s intricate collage concoctions have graced the pages of Wired US, The Guardian and New York Times. She is a dab hand with a scalpel, cutting out every tiger, tree and turnip by hand, before carefully building them into fun-filled visual explosions of colour, shape and texture. A University of Brighton graduate, she has also worked on projects for Gap, Orange and Toyota, and exhibited in London, Brooklyn and Beijing.
