The article features a great write up about our collaboration, the work behind the brief, some of the artists involved and how we got the book printed. Here are a few snaps of the magazine. If you wan’t to [...]
Cover art unveiled!
Long in the planning, we can finally tell you all about the front cover of Memories. We have an outstanding mood image by Luke O’Neill and our print sponsor Taylor Bloxham has thrown in two special finishes that we requested – silver foil and a spot UV. (To non-designers, spot UV is a glossy finish [...]
Jules Julien at Pick Me Up
If you’re London-based, or in the capital anytime between 17 and 27 March, don’t forget to stop by the Pick Me Up art fair and exhibition at Somerset House. The reason we say this is because Memories artist Julien Roare, aka Jules Julien, will be showing and selling his work there. I’ve interviewed Julien a [...]
Whoop, whoop, it’s Middle Boop

As well as working for clients including Malibu, Maxim, Digital Arts, Computer Arts and Advanced Photoshop, he’s known for his work in the music [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Give it up for Shotopop
The Memories project welcomes Shotopop – aka creative duo Casper Franken and Carin Standford. They’re a creative studio specialising in illustration, design and art direction. Clients range from Computer Arts magazine to rock outfit Skunk Anansie, and the day that they accepted the Memories brief they were on location in South Africa shooting a music [...]
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 [...]
Ginger Monkey joins the project
The West Country is doing us proud, as another Bristol-based artist has joined the Memories project. 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. It’s exciting to think that [...]
Niel Quisaba – our man in Manila
Well, he’s not in Manila actually, but we are really pleased to have recruited the Philipino illustrator Niel Quisaba to the project. With a fascinating, playful style that includes freaky little characters, he does design work by day and creates his self-initiated illustrations in his spare time. His latest work is a design for a [...]
Gary Taxali illustrating for Memories
There’s been a lot of action behind the scenes in the last few days, so here’s the first bit of news… Back in February I was in Toronto and I had the pleasure of interviewing Gary Taxali, one of the top illustrators in North America and, indeed, the world. Last week I contacted Gary inviting [...]
Rose Stallard is on board
Today we welcome Rose Stallard to the ever-more-impressive range of artists who are working on images for the Memories book. Rose is based in London and represented by Breed and I think it’s pretty safe to say that her work rocks. She’s inspired by 80s heavy metal amongst other things, as you might be able [...]
Linn Olofsdotter WIP
Another exciting week for us. For a start, today we are able to announce that Linn Olofsdotter is busy creating an image for Memories. In fact, she’s well on her way to completing it already and what you can see above is a work in progress. Linn’s image is a response to the story The [...]

Strong line work and whimsical subjectmatter are trademarks of the illustration work of Erica Burns. And we’re really pleased to announce that her powerful and colourful style will be appearing in Memories. Erica has done some great work in the past – you may have seen her murals for Virgin Travel in railway stations. She’s [...]

Tom Dennis interview
Tom Dennis deputy editor of Computer Arts magazine kicked of the interview process for the memories project. Tom interviewed myself about my experience of cancer over the last 2 years, how it has effected my life and what I have learned. I looked back at a particular day I remember about my father before he passed [...]
Starting on the text
Because I’m going to be the editor for the Memories book, I thought I should start by writing up one of the ‘memories’ that will go in it. I decided upon a story about one day that I remember with my father, who died of a brain tumour last November. The idea was to test out our [...]
