Illustration, issue 14 Winter 2007
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Winter 2007. Those who spend the end of the year totting up their achievements over the past 12 months and planning anxiously for the next should be pleased to see that in this issue we explore themes of old and new and how the two can collide to great effect in art generally and, specifically, in illustration. We consider first the work of Aubrey Beardsley, whose brief but prolific career in the 1890s produced so much more than a typical enfant terrible aiming to shock (page 8). We learn that he was not just the greatest of the British Decadents, but also heralded the rise of Modernism in his use of expanses of black and white space and strong lines.

Next we consider the illustrations that have been produced over the past 400 years to complement, elucidate and decorate Dante's great poem, the Divine Comedy. We see how artists have interpreted its eternal themes of man's relationship with his gods, religions and other men and find out how one modern artist approached the challenge of producing his own version of this epic (page 14).

Old meets new with a bang rather than a whimper when we discover the ways in which modern technology is making it possible for everyone to access the world's greatest illuminated manuscripts in ways that our ancestors could never have imagined (pages 22 and 36). Stunning illuminations from the greatest masters are now available at the touch of a button, if you know where to look, while beautiful facsimiles enable us peasants to look at work previously available only to nobles or prelates. And, if you suffer from turn-of-the-year angst, remember that this is not the only thing that has improved. Fashion illustration is also on the rise again, after years of dominance by photography (page 32).

Or, if you prefer to leave soul-searching to others and watch winter pass from an armchair, you could just sit by the fire and revel in Angela Barrett's gorgeous new depictions of Anna Karenina (page 28). 50 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (203mm x 305mm) Recommended.

Illustration, issue 15 Spring 2008
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Spring 2008. At a time when the business pages are filled with stories about doom and gloom on the financial markets and the plight of banks dealing with the “credit crunch”, we go shopping. Eric Ravilious's gorgeous and iconic High Street is now too expensive for most of us to buy – at least while the banks clamp down on lending – but it takes us back to a time when shops could be small, individual and full of exotic and wonderful wares.

Ravilious's gorgeous autolithographs bring out both the reality and the fantasy of these miniature retail emporiums and remind us that window shopping is a pleasure that can never be replaced by a click with a mouse. Production and display are also the themes of many of the pictographs in the codexes produced by the Maya in Central America. Their scribes recorded essentials from astronomy and religion to bee-keeping, weaving and agricultural practices – real and spiritual life inseparably entwined.

Fantasy and reality collide in a very different way in Winsor McKay's Dream of the Rarebit Fiend cartoon strip. While the subject is obviously fantastic, much of the material was based on contemporary US life and often draws on McCay's own personal experiences. A few decades later, on the other side of the Atlantic, Fougasse (Cyril Kenneth Bird) took the grim reality of war, fifth columnists and fear of the blitz and used gentle humour and a sense of the absurd to persuade people to behave well in a world gone mad. His simple designs have become classics, but this simplicity has perhaps allowed posterity to underestimate their sophistication. We redress this balance and look at the thought behind the well-known images.

The illustrations of Wayne Anderson are clearly fantasy, but are made possible by a real work ethic and “obsessive” attitude. Fantasy makes reality palatable: we offer this issue as an antidote to economic woes. 50 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (203mm x 305mm) Recommended.

Illustration, issue 16 Summer 2008
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Summer 2008. The advent and development of photography has often been heralded as a threat to the continued use of illustration in newspapers and advertising, yet the reports of illustration's death seem to be much exaggerated. For example, while the work of the artists who recorded the events of war in the first half of the 20th century is enthusiastically collected and used by modern historians, who would have predicted that illustrators would still have a role to play in documenting 21st-century conflicts?

This issue looks at the past 100 years of illustrators at war. We start with the famous and less well-known names who brought home events at the front in the first world war. We then find out about Edward Bawden's first-hand experiences of life with the Marsh Arabs of Iraq at the end of the second world war, while he served as an official war artist.

Then we fast-forward to the 21st century and hear from a modern war artist who has worked with Canadian and US soldiers in recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. He tells us what illustration can still offer that photography cannot and why it remains an important method of recording major historical events.

Back on home turf, we talk to Christopher Wormell about his widely varied work that encompasses everything from wood-engravings of idyllic rural scenes to bold linocuts of animals and watercolour images for his own children's books.

We then travel to Chennai to explore the work of Tara Publishing, which is using illustration to give new life and a fresh audience to traditional Indian art forms. Back then to Italy to examine a remarkable collection of European periodicals and publisher's archives as well as the extravagant deluxe creations of an Italian fine press. 52 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (203mm x 305mm) Recommended.

Illustration, issue 17 Autumn 2008
Edited by Ruth Prickett. Guineapiguana Publications, Autumn 2008. Ever since she first appeared in 1865, Alice has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of children, adults, film-makers and, of course, illustrators. Sir John Tenniel set a high benchmark with the images that have defined both Alice books for generations, but many others have bravely followed in his footsteps to produce illustrations that range from the conventionally pretty to the weird, wonderful and inspired. In this issue we examine the work of some of the most notable and preview the work of two very different illustrators – Rodney Matthews and John Vernon Lord – whose versions are out soon. Alice has appeared in many guises across the globe so we follow her on a whistle-stop tour of foreign language editions and into cyberspace.

Unlike Alice, S T Coleridge's Ancient Mariner can never return home, but artists remain fascinated by his journey (page 30). It may help that Coleridge's sinister Rime does not have a single defining illustrator, with stunning examples by Gustave Doré, David Jones and Mervyn Peake among others.

Alice is just one of the many classics illustrated by Michael Foreman, who has travelled to almost as many places as she has and enjoyed equally odd adventures. He shows us his sketch books and explains how they have informed his work. Crossing continents also inspired the work of Polish illustrator Arthur Szyk, whose work is appearing in an exhibition in Berlin. Things took a dark turn for him in the 1930s and much of his later work, created in the US, focused on attacking Nazism and on exploring his Jewish heritage.

Closer to home, Emma Chichester Clark discusses her much-loved children's books and explains why she's excited about some of her newest projects, while Marc Craste, animator at Studioaka, talks about the challenges of making animated commercials and why he's enjoyed working on his new film, Varmints. 52 pages. Soft Cover Full Colour 8" x 12" (210mm x 300mm) Highly Recommended.
