HOT RODS AND HAIRY BEASTS
Illustration Show
Opens Monday 29th September 2008

Coningsby Gallery, London
Monday 29th September until
Saturday 4th October 2008 10am-6pm
Further info www.hotrodsandhairybeasts.co.uk

Hot Rods, Hula Girls, Hairy Beasts, Himalayan Head Hunters and the Holy Bible are just some of the subjects under discussion by illustrators Linzie Hunter, Rod Hunt, Nishant Choksi and Allan Sanders. No subject is too small for this group of seasoned professional illustrators and adventurers. With clients spanning the world of advertising, publishing, design and editorial this band of battle scarred buccaneers are prepared for the eventuality of just about anything. Their motto is simple : to illustrate the obscure ...and beyond!

And here's an exclusive preview of some of the work from the show


Meet the Hairy Beasts

Linzie Hunter The terrifying Linzie Hunter originated from the barren highlands of Scotland but now resides in a North London suburb where she feasts on worms and grubs whilst working for clients including Random House, BBC, The Guardian & Little Brown. Linzie recently hit the headlines with her lettering work based on the spam e-mails in her inbox. Her book “Secret Weapon: 30 hand-painted spam postcards” is published by Chronicle Books in Autumn 2008. www.linziehunter.co.uk

Allan Sanders Born in the frozen tundra of the Northern wastelands, the horrendous Allan Sanders, a mostly hairless biped, now resides near the water in a settlement known as Brighton. Existing on a diet of rock pool delicacies, Allan has produced quirky, character-based and often humorous illustrations for clients including New Scientist, The Economist, The Guardian and The LA Times. Last year Allan became the poster boy for The Oregon Humane Society’s “End Petlessness” campaign. www.loopland.net

Nishant Choksi The monstrous Nishant Choksi originated from a murky lagoon in the centre of London and is now often found foraging in the wooded areas of Crouch End. A real life B-Movie monster, Nishant is inspired by advertising of the 40’s and 50’s and has worked for The Washington Post, The Guardian, JWT, Macmillian and others. Nishant recently worked on a prominent print ad campaign for Vodafone and has just completed work on his first TV spot for them. www.nishantchoksi.com

Rod Hunt Born in rural Dorset, the diabolical Rod Hunt now inhabits the swampland of Greenwich, South London where he feeds mostly on shrubs and berries. Rod has developed a reputation for retro tinged illustrations & detailed character filled landscapes and among his client list he includes FHM, Maxim and Vodafone. Notably Rod illustrated the cover of the best selling environmental book “Change the World 9 to 5” published by We Are What We Do. He is also Deputy Chairman of the Association of Illustrators. www.rodhunt.com

I used to be a lego nut!



This is my illustration for the "Traditional Games" issue of Revista Colectiva

playing about with patterns and lettering

A couple of wedding illustrations I did for a magazine recently.

Quilting, cooler than you'd think...

A work in progress... maps are hard work, phew!

a couple of designs which I hope to screen print later in the week

I haven't posted anything in an embarrassingly long time, and have finally buckled under the pressure of the email reminders :)

So here's something new for Monday, a piece I did for the current issue of Time magazine. It's for an article about retirees choosing to give to charity vs starting their own... I quite enjoyed doing the little buildings... Read the rest of this post
