B is for Brighton. We always look forward to Brighton’s Illustration degree show as the college seems to have a knack for producing talented graduates. This particular illustrated B was created by Brad Jay specially for the course degree show which is coming to London’s Rochelle School near Brick Lane from July 8-12. Here’s our pick of this year’s bumper crop of illustration talent.

Illustrator Harry Bloom’s work is super. Above is a piece entitled Lo-Fi, and below is his Battle Of Britain triptych.
