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.

BBC History Magazine

This illustration will be featured in the June issue of the BBC History Magazine. It accompanies an article about five monks from Canterbury Cathedral who in 1178 reported to have seen an explosion on the moon. I wanted the style to mirror medieval manuscripts. Hope you like it.

Hello,
This is a cover illustration for an Employee Benefits Magazine supplement, used again inside to illustrate the piece Convincing Performance, "Finance directors need to be shown the true value of investing in health and wellbeing benefits".
Was a fun one to work on. Hope you think so too.

Cheers
Cam.
