New Cards from Cam Law

I'm in the middle of a send out of some new cards, hope you like them. If anybody has't received a set and would like some, give me a shout with ur address and I'll send some over.







Disengaged Students

This Illustration was for the rather good Intuition Magazine, newly re-designed by the overly talented Mr Adrian Taylor. Piece was about how to cope with disengaged Students on vocational courses, the editor wanted a educator looking harassed with students not "engaging" with their studies.

Vanity Fair Travel

This Illustration was for the lovely folk at Vanity Fair. The article was about the change in the use and look of hotel lobbies.

Guardian Sport - Man Utd

I did this for the Guardian Sport on Saturday
It was an article lamenting the decline of Manchester United (Man Utd are called the red devils, and have a devil on their club badge). The writer urged the club to improve its academy, which produced players like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, etc.
I hope that the solution of a powerful predator, showing some paternal skills and bringing through the next eagle generation got this message across.
The club plays in red, white and black.

PhD Funding

The government has increased PhD loans to £25k
The author doubts whether a "carrot" of this size addresses the fundamental problems of attracting graduates and high-fliers onto PhD study
David Humphries



Cheetah/Cheater

I did this for the Guardian last month.
The article was about American athlete Justin Gatlin, who seems to be getting faster with age!
He has served two lengthy bans for drugs offences, and the article questioned the integrity of his longevity.

There is a medical myth that teething causes fever in babies
I did this for Readers Digest

I have been doing some more early mornings for the nice people at South China Morning Post.
This one was about the government and the pan-democrats ditching their bunker mentality and moving towards universal suffrage.

South China Morning Post

I have had a few early starts for the South China Morning Post this week
4 am start for a 9.30 am deadline
Cornflakes taste funny at that time in the morning

First one was about needless extra powers in Hong Kong law being introduced under Chinese influence
The second image defended China over ongoing border and territory disputes in the South China Sea, it suggested that Philippines, Vietnam and the USA were the source of the problems.

My body clock is nearly back to normal

Chinese New Year

Here is my illustration of the celebration of Spring, featuring the animals of the Chinese zodiac. It has been used in various ways to decorate the luxury shopping mall Pacific Place in Hong Kong.
I designed it in red (a lucky colour) but the pink and brown is quite fun too.
Happy Chinese New Year on the 19th February!

Bling

Rich people in Hong Kong and China are ditching their Burberry checks and chunky designer watches
Sartorially, they are becoming more refined and less ostentatious
This was for the nice people at Haymarket Asia

Hothead



Did your mum used to tell you that we lose up to 50 per cent of heat through our heads? 
It was just to frighten you into wearing that bobble hat that she knitted you for Christmas
Here is a picture I did for Readers Digest to expose this wicked lie

Spear's Magazine. Trusted Advisers

The nice people at Spear's Magazine commissioned this Illo' for a piece on "how private client professionals – including lawyers, accountants and private bankers –are increasingly serving as ‘trusted advisers’ for their clients, giving advice that it’s not strictly limited to their area of expertise and ending up becoming a friend". 

Cheers
Cam.
