Out of Commission ·

Issue 18

Sports ⚽, Screens 📺, and Skies ✈️!

This week’s commissions take us from album covers and murals to rugby fields, skateparks, chocolate bars, and even time travel... A particular standout was Paul Blow's work transforming a Las Vegas restaurant into a Netflix universe, a fantastic example of how illustration can be so powerful when used at scale, IRL.

Each week we feature even more campaigns in the paid edition, but our hand-picked favourites will always be free. If you enjoyed this issue, forward it to a friend or colleague who might need a little proof that commissioned illustration is still alive and well, unlike... some other people...maybe? Who knows!
