MATTHEW RITCHIE
I got my copies of the last book I illustrated this week, so I thought I’d post some of my drawings. The cover looked a little different originally, as you can see here: http://chuckgroenink.tumblr.com/post/18079863278/from-something-im-working-on-right-now When I drew that, I didn’t know that the title would be in practically the same colour, so I basically just instagrammed it.
As for the interior illustrations, I was going to do those just digitally, but I got so sick of it, that I drew them all with pencil instead and used the digital versions I had as the colours.

Neon Red World by Mona Hatoum
Entitled “Hot Spot”, Mona wields blazing neon red lights to illustrate the areas of conflict on Earth. That is to say… every area on Earth.
This collection of work titled Mirrored is actually the work of artistic duo Tim Maslen and Jennifer Mehra, aka Maslen & Mehra. The photographers and installation artists take the silhouettes of people and animals and present them as figurative mirrors placed across beautiful, expansive landscapes.
Mirrored is currently on display at Conny Dietzschold Gallery in Australia through April 30, 2012.
