Nigel Peake
We’re big fans of the work of Edinburgh-based artist/illustrator Nigel Peake whose work came to our attention via the latest Hermes Objets SS10 catalogue. Also published last year was “Sheds”; further example of his fantastical, daydreamy and incredibly detailed drawings that take you to a child-like world of make-believe and ingenuity.

Jean Philippe Delhomme ‘The Cultivated Life’
Jean-Philippe Delhomme is a prolific name in the world of illustration and often described as the Parisian answer to the smart cartoons that appear in the New Yorker. His instantly recognizable style is world-renowned in a range of media - from chic television ads for Saab to the boutique campaigns for Barneys and fashion advertising. Drawing from the trials and tribulations of the contemporary lifestyle—the design addict cautiously circling the latest modern furniture piece in an upscale boutique, or finding the perfect outfit to convey one’s current philosophy—Delhomme chicly illustrates the humor in all that surrounds him. This monograph published by Rizzoli, the first-ever English compilation of his work, includes over 100 illustrations and an insightful essay about Delhomme’s work.
