Jon Cannell does an awesome TV animated spot!

Jon writes:

“Hi Lilla,
I just finished illustrating the first of a series of three commercials for Good Times Restaurants. The campaign will highlight the introduction of Hand Breaded Springer Mountain Farms All Natural Chicken Tenders and Chicken Tender Sandwiches. It was a great collaboration between several people. Tom Evans who provided the creative, as well as directed and wrote the campaign and Larae Netten provided art direction (both from Stamen Pistil Advertising and Design). Jason Metter of Blue Fruit, Inc. brought my illustrations to life and added great subtleties and movement. Tom Lecher of Echo Boys, Minneapolis, arranged the music.
I have been wanting to get into this medium for awhile and this was a great project to get my feet wet.
I will post the other 2 when they are finished. Thanks!”

See the commercial here.

Macrina Busato for Flow Magazine

Macrina writes:

“Hi, I have just received the new amazing magazine Flow, fresh from the beautiful Netherlands. For this special issue, they asked 9 illustrators to make an illustration that answered this question: “What makes life simple?” My illustration was about friendship, taking care of, and “growing” people we love.

Hope you like!”

What Susy Pilgrim Waters is up to

Susy writes:

“hello curious all,
I just wanted to share some of my personal work, as i feel it is quite different from many of my illustration assignments.
My personal aesthetic is surprisingly clean+simple.

Having taken a degree printed textiles in London, it is a medium I come back to time and time again. It’s very physical and rewarding to make prints on fabric – function and form rolled in to one.
In recent months my husband keith and I have teamed up (we met at art school and are now combining our talents) to launch spw textile designs on hand woven hand printed cashmere and merino scarves.
We are making head way as a few museums have bought our hand woven and printed scares (ica boston, gardener museum, and the peabody essex).

We are screen printing on wood leather and silk too. I am influenced by British artist, Barbara Hepwoth, Patrick Heron, and artists curated by Jim Ede in KettlesYard, in Cambridge England. http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/

When is comes to painting, I full in to abstract expressionism and feel totally at home with less is more.I paint on wood panels as large as 5×5 ft or as small as 5×5 inches!
Keith is very adept at the techie side, he created our sites and is master printer. He whips us in to shape on FB. I find juggling many projects very challenging, but in fact they all feed on each other.
there are always new passions to pursue. Thanks for reading. Back to it.”

Silvia Dekker’s illustration for cover of Flow special book “Simplify your life”

Silvia writes:

“Hi Lilla, I was asked by Flow magazine to answer the question: “What makes life simple?” in an illustration.
I love growing things in our garden, so I made an illustration of it. They liked it so they put it on the cover of the book,
inside the book, and inside the book as a poster! It was a very nice surprise…

Flow magazine has an international issue too.
