Tommy Penton is mainly well known for his cover artwork that he did for the music industry.
This allowed him to work with artists such as Embrace, New Order, Babyshambles and more, where he was working to create posters, album and CD artwork and he was also able to do some advertising for big brands such as Nationwide, British Airways, Kenzo, Edinburgh Film Festival, Virgin, Fabric and CIMA.
Penton's work approaches the perspective art with a fresh and unique way, by looking at his work I would describe his work to be flowing and bold but he manages to add small hints of humour to it as well.
I have a huge interest in music, so this was obviously the first image that stood out for me to begin with.
I love how chaotic the illustration seems with its vibrant colours and the use of overlapping to make it look busy.

Olivier Kugler
Olivier Kugler was born in 1970 in Stuttgart, Germany.
His main career Kugler had was when he was working as an illustrator in London for clients that were all over the world.
His main type of illustrations he preferred to do was 'reportage' illustrations, this allowed him to do something that he loved and that was to draw the people he would meet and the places he would of visited, Olivier Kugler would do this by actually starting off by drawing on the location or by looking back at previous photo's he had taken, then following on from that he would colour his drawings on his laptop.

A particular picture I like was Olivier Kugler interpretation of the seaside, the main reason I like this image was because in a way it reminded me of home.
It actually shows you the real side to a seaside town which is busy, congested, dull and filthy.
I like the way Kugler has stuck to a similar colour theme which are different shades of grey and hints of blue to give it the either the impression that not all seaside towns are lively and always warm or the impression that it could be just showing the nightlife of the town.
Another picture that caught my eye was the one that shows the city life.
I like this image as it looks as if it has only been half done as only some parts of the picture has been coloured in, however by looking at the illustration the parts that have been coloured in are actually the key bits, for example the people that have been coloured in might be showing you how the city life are known to welcome different cultures into their towns, another key element is the tall tower that has been labelled as 'Trellick Tower', this in fact is an actual interpretation of a high rise blocks.
