What an opportunity I had this week! I’m on the cover of @politicoeurope!! An investigation into Frontex, the EU border agency which is in chaos. Recruitment issues, coronavirus outbreaks and allegations of illegal activity - all attracting the attention of the EU’s anti-fraud watchdog, OLAF 🔎 This was one of the tightest turnaround times I’ve ever worked to (just short of 48 hours from briefing to delivery) but the pressure was eased by a fantastic AD in Ali Walker. Great working with you @aliwalker24 and @timball again! Thankyou so much to you both for trusting me with this topic! 👌🏻

One thing in 2020 I was fortunate enough to be commissioned for often was cover illustrations ✏️ These ranged from topics on finance, the gender pay gap, the enviroment, science and nature, speech therapy, vaccinations and even beauty ✌🏻 I enjoy having some responsibility for the look and feel of an issue and setting the tone for the story 👌🏻 1. @opto.mag Spring 2020: Navigating Global Banking
2. TAXline Oct 2020: This is the Future
3. @newscientist Aug 2020: Life’s Big Bang
4. @washingtonpost Business March 2020: Median Pay is a Mirage
5. @spacenk Inside Space AW 2020
6. Your University July 2020: Our Problem with Plastic
7. The Lancet Infectious Diseases Jan 2021
8. @rcslt Bulletin Magazine April 2020: Shining a Light on Personalised Care More of this in 2021 please Art Directors of the world!🤞🏻👀

A quick round up of the @tortoise Global Health Summit work 🦠 The challenge here was that the image in full needed to be something fluid and all-encompassing, but also able to be dissected so the elements could work standalone too. Creating ideas within ideas that had enough wit and intelligence to work on their own too was really tough!! 🥵
I think I pulled it off? Great seeing my work used in an advertising context like this and especially given the importance of public health today. Thankyou to the Tortoise team for having me✌🏻 AD: @stone_nick_

Here’s some social media promo from the @tortoise 2021 Global Health Summit I was asked to illustrate: The Six Challenges After Covid 🦠 It’s a shame the event is virtual this year, but great to have worked on a project like this! Very exciting to see my work used this way! Check out my previous post to see the full illustration I made 🩺 Layout/AD: @stone_nick_

@olliehirstillustration

An absolute honour to be asked to illustrate this year’s @tortoise Global Health Summit event: The Six Challenges After Covid, given the grip public health has on our world currently 🩺 This honestly was one of the toughest briefs I’ve ever had, trying to comment on hugely complex themes like AI drug discovery, the mental health crisis and the probability of another pandemic - in one image 🦠 Massive shoutout to @stone_nick_ and the rest of the Tortoise team for trusting me with this challenge and for helping me get it right 🧫 The illustration is being used on adverts, social media promotion and a micro site in the lead up to the event at the end of January - I will share more of that in the coming days!
