A lovely conversation with one of our newer signings, Yo Hosoyamada. We discuss her background in architecture, working with Transport for London and why she wanted to make as many bad drawings as she could.

Join us as we catch up with one of our 2024 Handsome Future winners, Molly McCammon. We talk about what she's learned over the past year, how she's tweaked her work to gain more commercial success, and what it's like to be an illustrator picking colours when you have Synesthesia.

In this episode Tim talks us through his 15 years in illustration. From an initial love of collage, before pivoting to pen and ink and disagreeing with his tutors on the way to winning a D&AD New Blood Award. Today he is established as one of the most sought after in the business and has become a go to artist, for The New York Times and Star Wars.  
Join us as we hear how growing up on a Virginian commune, surrounded by rattle snakes and snapping turtles, helped him develop his macabre brand of illustration. Why he holds his breath when he paints and how acting might just be his back-up plan.

If you've travelled on the London Underground recently, you'll have seen the work of Charlie Davis. A Handsome Frank superstar since 2019, Charlie's profile has grown to new heights in the past few years and is now on show all over London.

He joins us to share his journey—from starting out as a junior designer to making the leap into full-time illustration. Offering a fascinating insight into his craft, he reveals how making one small tweak to his work opened the door to increased commercial success, why he doesn't draw faces and explains why he prefers short deadlines.
