MacFormat asked me for a pastiche of a Victorian advertising poster for a feature on essential Mac applications. Deputy editor Chris Phin featured as the impresario, and a brief from art editor Alex Thomas called for allegorical illustration and typographical over-ornamentation. Copywriting was a joint effort by me and Mr Phin; reference material was drawn from a variety of 19th Century sources; and I produced the finished artwork in Adobe Photoshop CS5, using the new brush functions for the colour inking.

What a gorgeous illustration. Love the mini-Chris; instantly recognisable face in just a few dozen pixels.
Wow, this is just too cool :-)
