Illustration (UK magazine), issue 34 Winter 2012
This issue is packed full of bright and beautiful things to bring a glow to the last cold, dark days of winter (!) We start by revisiting the glamour of the posters that sold the image of Austin Reed, Simpson's of Piccadilly, Dickins & Jones and Jaeger to war-weary shoppers of the early and mid-20th century. Oozing sophistication and confidence they called out to people to join the ranks of brave men and slim, elegant women shown parading the streets in their advertisements. And it seems that illustration was much better at selling this fantasy than photographs – perhaps because it created a world that was a step further away from reality than even the most glamorous photographs.

Illustration is also the means of coping with the grimmest realities for Michel Kichka when he uses his caricatures and cartoons to take a humorous swipe at the deadliest of world events. Whether he is turning his pen to depict Syria's President Assad or North Korea's military ambitions, or whether he is lampooning Lady Gaga, he demonstrates how a humorous visual image can make serious political points as well as raising a smile.

Korky Paul, on the other hand, has made his name taking the fantastic world of Valerie Thomas's Winnie the Witch and giving it familiarity. However far his images stray towards the surreal world of cartoons, Winnie is rooted by familiar, every day things such as kettles and computers and this “normal” element of her life has helped people to relate to her across the world. It is this power of illustration to sell goods and dreams, raise laughter or tears and speak to people in different cultures that makes it a delight to collectors – as Simon Cooke tells us when he shows us his remarkable collection.

This issue spotlights several illustrators who could be seen to fall into the category of unsung heroes. We look at ways in which illustrators in the first half of the 19th Century gained freedom of artistic impression (Cruikshank, Doyle, Phiz, Leighton, Hunt et al).

Next is an overview of the remarkable collection of illustration held in the archives of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, bold design being very important in getting across important safety information.

Next up is a review of an exhibition given over to the library of the Dukes of Savoy, the illustrated manuscriptions are frequently breath taking. This is followed by an intriguing introduction to the art of the silhouette.

There is a moving look at the artistic response to the bomb that exploded in Baghdad's book district and finally a look at Lorenzo Perrone's White Books where casts of books become works of art.

Brian Grimwood talks to us about his experiences as a massively successful commercial artist and gives us the inside view based on what he has learnt from founding and running a profitable illustration agency. We will go on to examine the groundbreaking posters of artist Edward McKnight Kauffer, as a new exhibition opens in London, and find out why his work broke the mould. Paul Thurlby will then take us through the prints that make up his retro alphabet and we'll get in the mood for seasonal cheer as a new edition of The Night Before Christmas hits the presses.

Lovers of mid-20th-century illustration can look forward to features on the lithographs and children's tales of Enid Marx. And those delighted by the darker, more surreal imagination of Edward Gorey can discover more about his sets of postcards.

John Vernon Lord then goes on to explain his approach to illustrating a new edition.

In Apocalyptic Ambitions Martun Myrone examines the aspirations and achievements of John Martin, whose illustrations to Paradise Lost and the Bible, and massive paintings of biblical scenes, earned him enduring popularity, if not always critical acclaim.

Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Summer 2011. In this issue we find out that the much-loved Pre-Raphaelite illustrator formerly known as Florence Harrison, was not in fact the true Florence Harrison at all and get the facts to set the record straight, before going on the trail of two of the earliest illustrators involved in the Pickwick Papers, Robert Seymour and Robert William Buss, and learning the strange fate of, and stranger rehabilitation of, Seymour's tombstone.

Less detective work is needed to learn about the work of Thomas Bewick – his fame during his own lifetime and the fact that he left his own Memoir have kept his reputation alive – but that doesn't mean there's nothing left to say about his art, which is why we welcomed the chance to explore a new, comprehensive book on Bewick's wood-engravings that includes much that is new or in need of re-assessment.

And, while Oliver Messel's reputation for his theatre and costume design is in no danger of fading, we learn more about why he should also be remembered for his few, but distinctive, book illustrations.

Moving on from the reputations of artists, we shift focus to admire a book intended to commemorate an entire endangered language, way of life and environment, when we travel through an alphabet inspired by a printmaker's residency in Greenland. 48 pages.

To tie in with the royal wedding there is a new exhibition at the Cartoon Art Gallery in London entitled Marriage a la Mode.

The life and work of the fairy illustrator Florence Mary Anderson, whose life has previously been shrouded in mystery.

Another article shows how there have been two traditions in the telling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy story, the Germanic and the Romantic versions.

Illustration (UK magazine), issue 26 Winter 2010
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Winter 2010. Winter may have come early to much of Britain and Europe this year, but there's nothing more heart-warming than pure nostalgia and we're serving that up in spades this issue. So soak up the atmosphere of Victorian Christmas cheer and revelry in the illustrations of Randolph Caldecott.

After many years out in the cold, the work of Norman Rockwell is once again receiving critical attention, so feel free to enjoy his unashamedly nostalgic and sentimental depictions of small-town America, complete with Santa Claus.

Few things prompt embarrassingly misty eyes more than your memories of childhood, so sit back and recall the Puffin Picture Books and marvel at the full glory of the autolithographs that made them so special.

From there you can turn to an interview with Axel Scheffler, who's busy creating the books that will jerk a reminiscent tear from grown men in 20 years' time – and if you don't yet know what a Gruffalo is, just find a small child and ask them.

Christmas may come but once a year, but Christmas cards are a year-round business. We find out how the London Library commissions a new one from a different illustrator each year and look at past examples. Meanwhile, Chloe Cheese shows us cards from the artists she knew as a child, as well as those she makes for her family and friends each year.

But if winter wonderlands and sleighbells jingling aren't your thing and you prefer to escape somewhere more exotic when the mercury plummets, then travel with Paul Hogarth to the tropical humidity of Graham Greene's books. 48 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (203mm x 305mm)

Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Autumn 2010. Autumn doesn't have to mean back to school and the end of summer holidays. If you're feeling autumnal blues, we aim to inspire you with an issue full of colour and action. We get geared up for winter sports when we look at the history of ski resorts, as reflected in their advertising posters. And when not on the slopes we find out about the outdoor adventures of Frank E Schoonover, who informed his images of heroes enduring rugged conditions in the American wilds with his own extensive travels in Canada. The great outdoors – and the great animals that inhabit it – is also the passion of our interviewee, Big Cat Diary presenter Jonathan Scott, who tells us how it was his prints and illustrations of wildlife (rather than his zoology degree) that first made him realise he could earn a living working with wild animals in Africa.

For adventures of a different kind, we look at the Sixties revolution as it affected the illustrations that appeared in women's magazines. From the aspirational glamour of early 1960s romance, we learn how the magazines' artists began to reflect the dramatic changes occurring in society with a heady mix of psychedelic colour, hip mini-skirted heroines and startling wallpaper. Meanwhile, Mordechai Beck is busy producing 21st-century illustrations for the ancient adventures of Biblical heroes such as Jonah. He explains why these stories still have the power to intrigue us and discusses the challenges of bringing something new to such old and revered material. From ancient texts we move to modern ones when we salute the achievements of Ambit, the literary and art magazine that is now celebrating its 200th issue. We ask its editors how it has managed to remain fresh and exciting for over 50 years, while continuing to secure illustrations by the biggest names in the game. 48 pages.

Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Summer 2010. The Euro may be struggling and governments full of doom and gloom about cut backs, but as summer arrives we aim to raise the spirits with a splash of glorious colour when we celebrate the work of Brian Wildsmith. As he passes his 80th birthday, he tells us about his award-winning ABC and why it had such a revolutionary effect on the world of children's publishing in the still austere atmosphere of the early 1960s. Of course, the British have always had a reputation for remaining steadfastly pessimistic when times are good, but unnervingly cheery when things (as they always predicted) go wrong, so we investigate this mix of cynicism and “mustn't grumble” mockery when we learn about Tate's summer exhibition, “Rude Britannia”.

We ask the curator whether there really is such a thing as a British sense of humour and, if so, what defines it. Humour was never far from the surface in the art of Edward Bawden and we learn more about what amused,intrigued and excited this polymath artist when his executor guides us through the scrapbooks he collected throughout his life. Odd juxtapositions of photos, sketches, labels, swatches and designs are carefully arranged and overlaid to create unexpected insights, baffling contrasts and flashes of laughter. These make the books both artistic gems and a fascinating glimpse into Bawden's mind and thoughts.

Then we're off to the seaside with two very different artists who have both created entire alphabets based on the sea. We examine the results and discuss the nature of illustrated alphabets and the challenges they present, and ask why both artists are sure that they are a form of illustration. Nostalgic armchair travellers can enjoy a taste of an Italian childhood when we examine the illustrative legacy of the remarkable Giornalino della Domenica or contemplate a pizza in the company of murals by Lizzie Mary Cullen for Zizzi.

Illustration (UK magazine), issue 21 Autumn 2009
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Autumn 2009. As the nights draw in and Halloween approaches, we turn to the fine tradition of telling supernatural tales and fairy stories in front of the fire. And where better to start than with the daddy of all vampire novels, Dracula? This issue Yvonne Gilbert explains her love of Bram Stoker's classic, why she views the sinister Count as the true hero and how she approached the daunting task of illustrating a novel that has more visual clichés than a spaghetti western film.

From Stoker's 19th-century asylums and graveyards we turn to Edward Gorey's 20th-century take on gothic and surrealist traditions. We find out about the man behind these bizarre – and hilariously disturbing – little books and explore the amazing range of stories and ephemera that he produced.

Having travelled from Transylvania to London and the US, we look to Scandinavia to teach us how to survive the long winter nights when we examine the Swedish fairy tale illustrations produced by John Bauer. Meanwhile, as spring starts in the southern hemisphere, Australian illustrator Shaun Tan creates modern fairy tales for those wandering lost in the brick and Tarmac forests of suburbia. And an Italian exhibition shows us how images for Aesop's fables have spoken to generations across the centuries. But even in the north, it's not all dark yet.

Autumn is a time of transition and we mark the end of summer when we learn how the Royal Horticultural Society is preserving the fading flowers in its collection of 19th-century Chinese botanical illustrations and raise a toast to the advertising campaign for Adnams beers produced in linocuts by Chris Wormell. 48 pages.

Illustration (UK magazine), issue 20 Summer 2009
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Summer 2009. It’s said that at times of trouble people retreat into fantasy worlds, so maybe it’s the global economic woes that have prompted us to turn to the parallel universes of fantasy classics such as Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy and the turbo-charged alter egos that inhabit computer games. Or perhaps it’s just that fantasy has always been fertile ground for imaginative illustration and the past few years have seen a welcome return from the hard-edged realism of the 1980s and early 1990s. Either way, David Jones, who wrote and painted his way through the darkest days of the 1930s and 1940s would probably have welcomed this swing back . His modern take on romantic and mythological subjects fell out of favour and his posthumous reputation has suffered as a result. We hope that our brief exploration of his art brings him to the attention of those who may have overlooked him in the past and inspires them to go on and find out more.

At the same time, we’re seeing a renewed appreciation of craft and individually made items. Barbara Jones, champion of folk arts, would surely have approved . As would Alexandra Exter, who started out as a Russian Futurist but ended up in France producing manuscripts full of fine calligraphy and illuminations . These two artists were very different, yet each in their own way cherished the tradition of the artist’s hand directly creating work.

This tradition is close to the heart of Ornan Rotem, founder of Sylph Editions, who uses the latest technology to produce books that highlight the physical skills of the artists and writers behind them. But you do not need to be a great artist to work with your hands – the new generation of illustrated fabrics and toy kits should help anyone to go out and make things that are both useful and beautiful. There may be a recession, but make do and mend has never been more attractive. 48 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (210mm x 300mm)

Illustration (UK magazine), issue 17 Autumn 2008
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Autumn 2008. Ever since she first appeared in 1865, Alice has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of children, adults, film-makers and, of course, illustrators. Sir John Tenniel set a high benchmark with the images that have defined both Alice books for generations, but many others have bravely followed in his footsteps to produce illustrations that range from the conventionally pretty to the weird, wonderful and inspired. In this issue we examine the work of some of the most notable and preview the work of two very different illustrators – Rodney Matthews and John Vernon Lord – whose versions are out soon. Alice has appeared in many guises across the globe so we follow her on a whistle-stop tour of foreign language editions and into cyberspace.

Unlike Alice, S T Coleridge's Ancient Mariner can never return home, but artists remain fascinated by his journey (page 30). It may help that Coleridge's sinister Rime does not have a single defining illustrator, with stunning examples by Gustave Doré, David Jones and Mervyn Peake among others.

Alice is just one of the many classics illustrated by Michael Foreman, who has travelled to almost as many places as she has and enjoyed equally odd adventures. He shows us his sketch books and explains how they have informed his work. Crossing continents also inspired the work of Polish illustrator Arthur Szyk, whose work is appearing in an exhibition in Berlin. Things took a dark turn for him in the 1930s and much of his later work, created in the US, focused on attacking Nazism and on exploring his Jewish heritage.

Closer to home, Emma Chichester Clark discusses her much-loved children's books and explains why she's excited about some of her newest projects, while Marc Craste, animator at Studioaka, talks about the challenges of making animated commercials and why he's enjoyed working on his new film, Varmints. 52 pages.

Illustration (UK magazine), issue 14 Winter 2007
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Winter 2007. Those who spend the end of the year totting up their achievements over the past 12 months and planning anxiously for the next should be pleased to see that in this issue we explore themes of old and new and how the two can collide to great effect in art generally and, specifically, in illustration. We consider first the work of Aubrey Beardsley, whose brief but prolific career in the 1890s produced so much more than a typical enfant terrible aiming to shock (page 8). We learn that he was not just the greatest of the British Decadents, but also heralded the rise of Modernism in his use of expanses of black and white space and strong lines.

Next we consider the illustrations that have been produced over the past 400 years to complement, elucidate and decorate Dante's great poem, the Divine Comedy. We see how artists have interpreted its eternal themes of man's relationship with his gods, religions and other men and find out how one modern artist approached the challenge of producing his own version of this epic (page 14).

Old meets new with a bang rather than a whimper when we discover the ways in which modern technology is making it possible for everyone to access the world's greatest illuminated manuscripts in ways that our ancestors could never have imagined (pages 22 and 36). Stunning illuminations from the greatest masters are now available at the touch of a button, if you know where to look, while beautiful facsimiles enable us peasants to look at work previously available only to nobles or prelates. And, if you suffer from turn-of-the-year angst, remember that this is not the only thing that has improved. Fashion illustration is also on the rise again, after years of dominance by photography (page 32).

Or, if you prefer to leave soul-searching to others and watch winter pass from an armchair, you could just sit by the fire and revel in Angela Barrett's gorgeous new depictions of Anna Karenina (page 28). 50 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (203mm x 305mm) Recommended.
