Sherbs

by Jamie Taylor

“ ‘Sherbs’, or Sherborne as it is formally known, is a picturesque town in Dorset, known for its historic abbey and possibly more historic people. In ‘Sherbs’ I wanted to show the side of Sherborne I see, from an almost disregarded adolescent perspective, not what is seen in The Sherborne Times or The Conduit Magazine. Using vibrant colours, I wanted to illustrate the more bustling side of life in Sherborne, a younger perspective, while also accommodating the architecture and landmarks that convey the town’s identity. I chose to draw the covers by hand but colour them digitally to give them a clean and lively aesthetic similar to magazines seen on shop shelves.”

Jamie grew up in the Somerset/ Dorset countryside before moving to London to study Media and Communication. From a young age, he always displayed an interest in design and university helped develop his ‘drawings’ into a more complete body of work. Despite loving life in London, the countryside has always been his home and proved to be the inspiration for his work. You can find more of his art here.

스물둘 (Twenty-two)

by Hyun Hwang

“The twenty-two project is a travel journal styled illustration book, based on a 63-hour train journey that I took across the USA when I was 22 years old. This talks and illustrates what I saw, experienced and thought about during this long train ride - and hence brings me back to my 22-year-old self.” For more images from this illustration book: @hyun_arts or hyunhwang.com.

Guide to Vilnius (at night)

by Austeja Bukauskyte

“Being born and raised in Vilnius - a city with an amazing, yet-not-that-well-known-to-the-foreign-public party scene, I wanted to create my own nightlife guide; one that features places that me and my friends genuinely enjoy, all with specific atmospheres and audiences for different tastes or moods. The map fits well into your pocket as a go-to on a night out and also doubles as a poster, for you to remember the eccentric characters of Vilnius.”

Austeja is a recent Goldsmiths Media Comms graduate and an aspiring illustrator often found in either Vilnius or South London. She enjoys people-watching in bars, reading children’s books, and sometimes does tattoos in her kitchen. You can follow Austeja’s artwork and travel adventures on her Instagram @austetron.
