Illustrations

I just read a very disturbing post about illustrators works being stolen to publish a book called “Colorful Illustrations 93°C.” Do not to buy this book! The Publishers stole the illustrations and interviews. On-line the book is being sold for an outrageous $100 – of which none is going to the illustrators that created the work. Unfortunately this kind of theft is becoming bolder and I want to do whatever I can to help fight against it.

Originally I was going to re-post the full story from Luc Latulippe’s blog, but instead go visit Luc Latulippe’s site and read his post about this whole sickening situation.

I’d like to thank Holly DeWolf for passing this along to me, and I ask that everyone please help spread the word. This is an important issue that everyone in the industry needs to be informed of.

Posted at altpicks.com the featured member interview is with the talented artist/illustrator Neil Jeffery a.k.a “beep-beep.” I have the privilege of knowing Neil from school back in London, and can say that Neil was scary-talented back then, and has only gotten better.

Neil started as a traditional drawer and painter and then made the move to digital illustration, naturally this made me curious about his thoughts on traditional vs. digital design. How he got started as an illustrator, how he developed his bold graphic style, and his plans for the future are just a few of the other topics discussed with Neil in the interview.

I don’t want to give it all away so head over to Altpick.com top read the full interview, and see samples of Neil’s colourful graphic style.
