New Cover
Peter Greenwood
Graphic and conceptual, Peter's illustration was picked for the cover of Deseret Magazine's latest issue. Exploring the impact of Elon Musk's stance on free speech, he cleverly depicts the build up of misinformation on Twitter when platforms do not police false or misleading content.

Editorial
Camelia Pham
While many have been celebrating the Year of the Rabbit, Vietnam have welcomed the Year of the Cat. As a Vietnamese artist based in Hanoi, Camelia was asked by New Orleans Magazine to capture the joy of these festivities - namely friends, family and lots of tasty food.Â
Happy New Year to all those celebrating! Explore more of Camelia's work here
New BookÂ
Eleni Debo
Very excited to share Eleni's debut children's book 'The Straight Story of Slug' which follows a headstrong little Slug that never strays from his path, no matter the obstacles. But his road is long, and he is bound to have a few curious encounters along the way...
Written by Tom Marien and published by Pelckmans in Dutch, we hope this little Slug will cross many language borders to reach young readers around the world.
