Vanity Fair, November Issue

I must be popular with Vanity or the blackmail is working, but they commissioned me again for Novembers On Travel Section. They were reviewing three hotels located in Vienna, Istanbul and Milan in a piece called "The Tale or Three Cities" and wanted to give it a twist with some Illustrations instead of the more usual photos.

Cheers

Vanity Fair, On Time


They lovely people at Vanity Fair commissioned me do come up with some pics to stretch over the top of 5 pages in Vanity's "On Time". The piece was on the Dangers, trials and adventures undertaken by some of the greats of watchmaking. Really nice job to do.

Cheers

Whine

I have been doing a regular wine column for the Guardian over the summer.
This article suggested wines to drink whilst everyone else was on holiday, and you were stuck in the office or at home.
I have just updated the Monster website with some new images

Summer Holidays??

It has been a busy summer at Humphries HQ
I have been doing  a lot of short deadline op-ed and letters pages for the Guardian and the South China Morning Post(SCMP) amongst other things.
The SCMP is based in Hong Kong. It involved setting my alarm clock at 4am and finishing work at 10am.
I was jet lagged without leaving the country!

The first image was for SCMP.
A publication called "House News"  Hong Kong’s largest online  news platform, with over 300,000 unique readers a day was shut down as a result of mainland Chinese surveillance, intimidation and pressure.

The second image was for the Guardian letters page.
I had 2 hours to complete an illustration about the  US air strikes on Iraq
Many readers were concerned about the innocent men, women, children and other vulnerable people that the US-led wars are supposed to save.
