Work / Illustration Dive into Adam Higton's collages via his psychedelic new album and video

Adam Higton’s band, Cosmic Neighbourhood, is named after the mythical world he creates for his nostalgic collage characters. The illustrator’s latest album features 16 tracks each inspired by a different collage, adding another dimension to his works and “bringing his fantasy world to life”. The original collages form a patchwork for the vinyl cover.

Work / Illustration Stephanie Unger’s instinctive illustrations use bright colours and simple shapes

Illustrator and artist Stephanie Unger’s fun use of colour and peppy icons is an approach that’s stuck with her since she first started drawing. “My big sister is also creative and we would spend hours copying VHS covers or making up our own comic books to show each other,” says Stephanie. “My style is made up of things that have influenced me over the years and what naturally comes out on paper. It is playful and is built up of bold colours and simple shapes.”
