Editorial
Welcome to the Computer Arts Collection Illustration Annual our
showcase of the years most outstanding illustrative work, and a vivid
celebration of emotive and technical craft. Over the next 130 pages
youllfind an incredible wealth of illustration thats bursting with
conceptual and aesthetic impact.
Youll also gain exclusive access into the minds of some of the global
creative industrys leading lights. To help us unearth the finest talent in the
field, we teamed up with the likes of Jessica Walsh, Gary Taxali, Noma
Bar, Justin Maller and more, and asked them to nominate five stand-out
illustration projects that caught their eye over the past 12 months. Weve
included their comments throughout the Annual and you can find out
more about all 30 members of our expert panel on page 126.
We also called on the considerable talents of graphic artist Nikki
Farquharson. She handcrafted 10elaborate typographic images for the
publication, which youllfind at the start of each new section.
And a huge thank you, once again, to our friends at British finishing
house Celloglas, who went all out with our cover embossing it with a
stunning magenta foil.
If one things clear from the world-class work showcased inside these
pages, its that illustration is fighting back. Factors that once heralded the
fields decline stock libraries, the digital revolution, a growing preference
for graphic design are now providing new avenues for savvy illustrators.
Asour 2014 Illustration Annual demonstrates, opportunities exist if you
know where to look for them. Enjoy the Annual.

Nik k i Farq u h ar son

hen we asked mixedmedia maestro Nikki Farquharson
to help us celebrate the Computer
Arts Collection Illustration Annual
with a touch of typographic
magic, we knew we wouldnt be
disappointed. The London-based
graphic artist pulled out all the stops,
handcrafting 10 elaborate images to
mark each different section inside
the publication. We caught up with
her to find out what inspired her
intricately patterned designs and
what else shes been up to this year.
You often create your drawings with

a made-up story in mind. Whats
the story behind your openers for
our2014 Illustration Annual?
I knew straight away I wanted to
illustrate the type itself. After a little
thought, I came up with the concept of
having each opener in the typographic
set look as though it was made up of
small, primitive-style creatures that
had clustered together to form groups
of random shapes, which happened
to mimic the basic appearance of
recognisable characters.
With the concept for the section
openers nailed, where did you start
in bringing your ideas to life?
The first step was to choose a typeface
for my templates as I very rarely draw
type freehand. Once I found the
typeface with the right frame to aid
my illustration, I put together some
rough compositions and printed them

out. I used those templates to sketch
the illustrations in pencil, which then
became the template I used for the
final ink outlines.
On separate sheets, I mocked
up colour and pattern combinations
until I was happy with my final
choices. The next stage was to start
inking everything in. Its a slow and
methodical process but its the stage
I enjoy the most.
as though these pieces really are

otherworldly, invertebrate creatures.
Why did you break the type so
unconventionally on each spread?
One of the design problems I was
struck by straight away was working
with titles of varying lengths. I knew
that not all of them would be laid out
whole. Sticking with the concept that
these arent really letters anyway, I
concluded that having every word
I try to walk the line between consistency

and spontaneity: I want some sense of order
combined with little, unexpected surprises
The lettering almost appears to

be moving on the page was this
intentional? How did you achieve
thiseffect?
I wanted the overall aesthetic to have
a very organic feel. I chose a bold
typeface for my initial template, but
deliberately softened its framework by
sticking to fluid, curved lines in order
to create these little, individual shapes.
I hoped to generate a sense oflife,
broken up haphazardly not only made

more sense, but also added some
playfulness. There is no necessity on
their part to be conventional.
However, I can only be
unconstrained up to a point. I have a
background in graphic design, which
still heavily influences how I treat type
in my illustrative work. In this instance,
I wanted the type size to remain the
same throughout, regardless of word
length. Another example is choosing

to align the type to the left. As much
as my work looks impromptu, I try to
plan everything I draw.
Given that your work is hand-drawn,
was it tricky to meet the deadline?
As much as I enjoy creating work with
whimsical stories to inspire me, I also
had to be very practical. Knowing that
I had a short space of time to produce
10 original pieces of artwork by hand,
I had to bear many things in mind
but the main one was time. I often do
quite structured pieces with the aid
of rulers, which tends to mean lots of
measurements and calculations. In this
case, I deliberately chose to abandon
those extra steps. Working with soft,
flexible lines is not only one of my
favourite styles, it also has the added
benefit of being quick. Apart from the
pens, my hand and my imagination
were the only tools I needed.
What was the most challenging
aspect of the brief?
Unexpectedly, it was finalising the
colour and pattern combinations for
the four palettes. The original idea was
to keep it basic by alternating between
red, green, yellow and blue. I didnt
want to create anything too plain; but
I wanted to avoid combinations that
could be too time-consuming. Also,
Iwanted the patterns to resemble
oneanother, while letting the palettes
exhibit their individual personalities.

As well as creating artwork for Malibus limited edition summer 2011 bottle, Farquharson also
decorated a range of Malibu rum pitchers and tote bags
A task I thought would take me

30minutes took considerably longer
but it paid off.
I try to walk the line between
consistency and spontaneity in my
work: I want there to be some sense of
order combined with little, unexpected
surprises. In this case, once I decided
I was sticking with one style for the
typography, it was necessary to break
up that repetitiveness with alternating
palettes. It wouldnt have felt right if
I didnt throw as many colours as I
could at this huge project.
Your portfolio is full of vivid and
intricate pieces. Where do you
standin the minimalist versus
expressive debate?
Believe it or not, I do have a really
strong affection for minimalism in
design but, if Im honest, I dont really
keep up with whats on trend. One
reason I changed my creative path
from graphic design to illustration was
because I desired the freedom to be
more expressive without the obligation
of sticking to design rules. I think its
far more important for creatives to be
authentic to themselves and produce
work that matches their own personal
aesthetic, regardless of how popular
that style is in the moment.
I dont want to get lost in chasing
fleeting fashions. As a commercial
illustrator, I realise I create work for
anaudience but I also draw for myself.
The hardest jobs to complete are
when it feels like Im compromising

mypersonal aesthetics to suit another.
Whats been your favourite project
inthe past 12 months?
A recent project Im proud of is the
illustration I created for AnyForty, a
UK-based streetwear brand founded
by [ex-Computer Arts staffer] Alan
Wardle. It got a lot of great feedback
and sold really well, but I regard it
a success because the final visual
as niche. I construct most of my

artwork by hand so I often have to
turn down great jobs simply because
the deadline is too tight, and it could
be a little while before the next great
opportunity arrives. Having said that
Ilove what I do for a living.
What do you have in the pipeline?
Im currently working on a new
mixed-media set called Mythos with
international photographer, Scott
I dont want to get lost in chasing fleeting

fashions. As an illustrator I create work for
anaudience but I also draw for myself
outcome was exactly what I intended.

I was trusted to create whatever
I wanted and was also given the
opportunity to take my time, which
isso rare in this industry.
Illustration was a challenging field
to work in a few years ago. Is it an
easier career choice these days?
It isnt easy freelancing in illustration,
especially if your specialty is regarded
A.Woodward. With this project

Imtaking my mixed-media style in
abrand new direction, so Im looking
forward to showcasing that. Im also
planning to start producing politically
motivated typographic illustrations
and Im interested in creating mixedmedia art based on photos of myself,
too. I really like the idea of being in
full control of the whole image, from
original photo to final outcome.
What would be your dream

commission and who for?
I would love the opportunity to
collaborate with an iconic fashion
label. Brands like American Apparel
and Nike are working with designers
to produce beautiful, unique patterns
for their clothing and footwear. Im
often told my illustrations would work
well on fabric so a commission of that
calibre would be perfect.
Whats the best piece of advice
youve ever received?
I still go by an old piece of advice from
a tutor at university who encouraged
me to swap clever concepts with little
meaning for ideas I genuinely believe
in. More recently, Adrian Shaughnessy
tweeted that we should never agree to
do anything in the future that wed say
no to if it presented itself tomorrow.
Thats really smart advice.
Tell us something about you that
wedont know
My friends and family would say Im a
bit of an over-organiser from colour
co-ordinating my clothes, cataloguing
my shoes and categorising books by
genre to arranging where food is
placed in the fridge and on the plate.
But I simply believe that a tidy space
goes hand-in-hand with a tidy mind.

Mulheres Barbadas translates as the bearded

latter doesnt apply, these Brazilian illustrators
do sport serious beards. In a recent campaign
for Havaianas, the Bearded Ladies created a
hand-drawn advert in which they covered
desk objects with their detailed yet laid back
signature style. We really like this campaign
and Louise owns a pair of Mulheres Barbadas
Havaianas although theyre no longer as

For me, pretty much every tattooist at The

Family Business is inspiring. The speed at
which tattoo artists can turn designs around
without losing quality is something I aspire
to, and this piece by Gianluca Fusco is a very
good example. I like the linework without
colour even more than the final design, but
both are awesome. It has a great flow, thanks
to the way the skeletal snake shape weaves

from the foreground to background creating
depth, and the scythe and flowers are really
nice touches as well. A great piece amongst
many from this art form.
