WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF OUR BRAND NEW WEBSITE!

News hero 307

We are thrilled to launch our brand new website! We hope very much that you like the redesign and all the new features. You will find the latest artwork from all the artists you have come to know and from new artists Alan Berry Rhys, Corey Brickley and Chris Skinner.

One of the goals of this new website has to been to provide clients with state-of-the-art search functionality to access some of the world’s finest original illustrators, motion artists and illustrative designers.

New features include direct navigation to ‘Illustration’, ‘Motion’ and ‘Design’ and monthly collections of ‘Featured Works’ on the homepage. The search functionality, which is now also within each artist's portfolio, allows you to carry out more refined searches, including by type of project and style. The dedicated ‘Styles’ section will show you a variety of outstanding artists working with a particular visual approach and across a range of different kinds of project. The ‘News’ section is frequently updated with displays and further information about selected commissions.

We’d be delighted if you’d like to sign up to our ‘Mailing List’. You would then receive news about new artist signings, latest additions of images to artists' portfolios and invitations to Private Views and other events at Début Art’s own gallery ‘The Coningsby Gallery’ in the heart of Central London.

Oh and by the way if you’d prefer a white background to the site, you can now switch to it at the foot of the page!

Steven Heller on Peter Grundy (AKA Grundini)

Steven Heller, a member of the Art Director Hall of Fame since 1996 and author, co-author and editor of over 200 books on design covered Grundini in his latest article for the Daily Heller. Describing Peter, Steven wrote: " [he is] an exemplar of the commedia dell’arte style of data visualization, a maestro of transforming statistics into pictorial passion plays. Icons are his meat, and they are seasoned with wit and humor, color and conviviality. They brighten up the stage, the page and the screen. They scroll with a certain rock and roll."

Lisa Sheehan / "It's a Rich Man's World"

Wired Magazine's Money 2025 money issue, aptly titled "It's a Rich Man's World," as imagined by artist Lisa Sheehan. How did she bring this piece to life? In her own words: "To make the credit card as authentic as possible I redrew the American Express pattern in Illustrator with the WIRED headline included. The card was then created in Cinema 4D and I drew the etching of Trump in photoshop. This all came together and was animated to give the feel of an apple pay screen. This was a multi disciplined approach, 2D textures drawn and then rendered in 3D." You can check out the animated piece and more of Lisa's work here.
