Images 34 - the best of British illustration 2010
Now in its 34th year, Images features an introduction by the distinguished New York based teacher and commentator Steven Heller and special feature, the Critic's Award, selected by the Editor of The Observer, John Mulholland.

Images 34 is essential for those looking for an overview of current illustration, and an excellent source tool for leading industry professionals. The personal and informative perspectives offered in the editorial pieces by John O'Reilly on New Media, Liz Farrelly on Design and Peter Lyle on Advertising, provide insightful comments on the current state of the industry.

From the 1400 artworks submitted to the Images 34 competition, 400 illustrations were selected by an expert panel of internationally acclaimed judges, including Matt Small   - Client Service Director at Pearlfisher; Graham Wood - Head of Art JWT and Nol Davis - Head of Creative Services Channel 5 and illustrator Andrew Rae.

These 400 featured artworks showcase the incredible talents of illustrators who have made a significant contribution to their industry over the last year, including artwork from the widespread 'BBC Proms' campaign commissioned by Premm Design and delightfully illustrated by Andy Potts. Rod Hunt provides intricate imagery for the highly successful "Top Gear - Where's Stig?" book, and displayed alongside intriguingly illustrated inside spreads by David Hughes for his book "Walking The Dog" and a poster by Ralph Steadman are striking editorial pieces by Noma Bar and Artbombers, as well as the top young illustration talent of the future published in the New Talent category.

We will upload a few spreads soon, but meanwhile you can check out the awards and exhibition page for more information.
