One of the ideals hold in esteem here on Memories is that of supporting new talent. Not only will we be giving up and coming artists the chance to show what they can do, but we are certain that it will give the final book we produce a fresh, original edge. Ollie Johns is an [...]
We have Mr Bowlegs
This fine evening we’d like to let you know that the wonderful graphic designer at large Jeffrey Bowman is part of the Memories project. Jeffrey’s always doing fresh projects both commercially and in whatever areas his abstract and surrealist interests take him. This particular work was from his MA final show at the University of [...]
Von R Glitschka – Memories artist
Happy New Year. How did it feel to go back to work? Here on the Memories project we’re embracing 2011 with vigour as we continue to work on our charity book. Today I’d like to highlight one of our artists, the graphic designer Von R Glitschka. Von has been designing fantastic logos and icons, and [...]
Paul Tysall is on board
Let me qualify this post by saying two things. Firstly, Paul Tysall has actually been part of the project almost since the beginning. He’s one of the first people we invited. It’s just – tut, tut – we’ve taken a very long time to blog about him working on the project. And the second thing [...]
Welcome Danny Allison
The latest artist to sign his name to the Memories roster is Danny Allison. He’s been busy creating an image to go with Frank Joussen’s story about Ramona Horn, a young girl in Germany who lost her life to a brain tumour. Danny’s style is marked by big, bold colours and a mixture of traditional [...]
Ben Tallon joins the project
We apologise for the bloggio silence – things have been busy though, and a lot has been going on here behind the scenes. We’ve been compiling images and text, chasing missing contributions, and trying our best to fill in some of the gaps. It’s not very exciting and there’s not always much to report. However… [...]
Chrissie Abbott is in!
Some of the freshest illustration work in the UK right now is coming from young artist Chrissie Abbott. She’s a dab hand at picking up old news print images and retro photography and combining them with her own handmade elements to create acid-coloured collages that seem to have intriguing undertones. Right now Chrissie is inspired [...]
The award-winning Simon Pemberton
Well, you can’t be the editor of a book filled with illustration and go to a major illustration awards ceremony and NOT network with illustrators, right? When I went to Images 34 the other night, it was a great opportunity not only to see a whole range of interesting work but I got the chance [...]
Hello Dust
Here’s a nice story. Memories contributor Simon Spilsbury told fellow illustrator/designer Patrick Walker that he was doing an image for Memories, and shortly afterwards we got an email from Patrick asking to get involved. His studio, Dust, do some amazing work in illustration and print design so we really wanted to get them on board. [...]

I’ve known Roddy [...]
Emily Forgot… or not?
Well it does seem a little strange for a project called Memories to team up with an artist who goes by the alias Emily Forgot. Right? But that’s what we’re doing and we feel no shame in this because despite her somewhat whimsical monicker Emily is on the money when it comes to contemporary image [...]

Another [...]
Laura Carlin is with us
Great news on this happy Friday. The highly regarded UK illustrator Laura Carlin has joined the Memories project. I did an interview with her for Design Week a few weeks ago and couldn’t resist asking her to do an image for us afterwards. I would be remiss in my responsibilities to this project if I [...]
Hello Sarah Beetson
Today we’re happy to welcome Sarah Beetson aboard the merry ship that is Memories. I first wrote about Sarah a couple of years ago when she had a show going around to various cities which included a Pepsi vending machine. You put your money in and out came one of her pictures, rolled up. Each [...]
Welcome Lizzie Mary Cullen
Get used to the name Lizzie Mary Cullen because we think she’s going to be big! So it’s pretty exciting that she’s accepted our invitation to create an image for the Memories book. She graduated last year and won an award at New Designers 09 and another one at the Images 33 exhibition run by [...]
Hennie Haworth is with us!

So we’re really pleased today to announce that she has committed to creating a piece of artwork for our book, Memories. Hennie’s done commercial work for everyone from travel companies to the Telegraph, and has even had some of her hand-drawn pattern [...]

Good Wives and Warriors
The collaborative illustration duo Good Wives and Warriors are the latest ones to join our merry gang. The pair are Becky Bolton and Louise Chappell and they named their studio after the etymology of their first names. Rebecca means ‘good wife’, and Louise drives from Louis, meaning ‘warrior’. Combining line work which is often quite [...]

On any given day Tom Lane – aka Ginger Monkey – will be in his studio working on an illustration for a book or magazine, or coming up with branding ideas for a company.
