POST festival

A big thanks to everyone who organised and attended post design festival at space 10 in copenhagen - it was great to be invited to give a talk at this event, met lots of nice people, talked about the current state of visual culture, hung out, got to see a bit of copenhagen and caught up with some old friends. 

Penguin Books

This should be out soon, a cover for How Many Miles to Babylon by jennifer johnston. Big thanks to all at penguin. loved this project so i made a bunch of different versions, this is the one that made the final cut.

AOI World Illustration Awards

Many thanks to the AOI for shortlisting the refugee project at this year's world illustration awards. The show has been on for a few weeks at Somerset House in London and will go on tour later this year.

Witchcraft in Liberia

a new project I just finished for save the children is featured on the telegraph site today. the work includes a series of illustrations and an animation about a liberian boy who was a victim of belief related abuse. a tricky project in places - i had about 2 weeks to do this, and had to avoid any direct visual references to torture, and i wasn't allowed to mention the involvement of the church, which is where most of the bad stuff actually took place - the 'lady who lived out of town' is actually a pastor. There are a couple of versions of the animation, this one features a voiceover by Dele Sosimi and is by far my favourite of the two. The animation also features clips from an interview with the boy.

foreign policy

may / june's front cover of foreign policy magazine, a feature on david vincenzetti, with several small illustartions accompanying the article. i was holding back on posting this but it looks like i'm not going to be sent a physical copy, so check the link above for the online version.

Here's some process stuff, for more of this check my instagram. 

Press awards & Bloomberg Markets

Well, after nearly 3 months of living out of cardboard boxes and suitcases, and more than a year of living in transition, I've finally moved into a new house. Renting in London is tough, but buying a home in London has to be one of the most stressful and ridiculous things I've ever gone through. If I never see another fucking estate agent for as long as I live, it'll be too soon.

Meanwhile, stuff has been going on, so here are a couple of new things. First off, I'm pleased to say the Save the children project has been shortlisted for a digital innovation award at the British Press Awards, for the mobile feature in the telegraph. big thanks to the telegraph, save the children, the staff at civico zero and everyone else involved.

Also, here's something new for Bloomberg Markets, a double page spread and some animation for a piece about the current state of anxiety in european banking.

Also, a vole in a french horn, for stewart lee in the observer sometime a few weeks ago.

2 videos

2 short animations which accompany the Save The Children refugee project.

Save The Children

A new project that's kept me very busy for the last couple of weeks. Save The Children sent me to Rome to a place called Civico Zero - a centre for unaccompanied refugee children which is seeing a huge influx of kids arriving from many different countries - to conduct some interviews, and asked me to make a series of illustrations based on the stories we heard. It was an eye-opening experience, and I've made quite a lot of work around the stories, I will post some of it over the course of the next week or so. The Telegraph are running a feature on this project today - here are a couple of shots from the mobile version, which looks great.

backchannel

Some new work up on Backchannel on medium.com for a great article about the uber / lyft / taxi situation in san francisco.

Creative Review

Big thanks to the mighty Creative Review, my stuff is featured on the CR Blog today.

observer

Both of these are in the Observer illustrating Stewart Lee's articles, which are consistently amazing. One came out last week, the other the week prior to that.

trump on borders

making these is fun.

new site is up

after a giant hiatus (mostly involving the renting, buying and selling of various homes), davidfoldvari.co.uk is back online. there is a lot of new stuff, go take a look. the site is super-sized at the moment, and it's still a little rough round the edges, but it will get ironed out over the next few days.

sisters

image for a feature about the family involved in the boston trials for the usa edition of newsweek.

something new

instagram

about 10 years late to do this, but i'm on instagram now. you can find me at instagram.com/davefoldvari. i'm putting a bunch of stuff up there slowly, work in progress, sketchbook stuff and photos of things i like.

tower of london, part 1

details from something that's been keeping me busy for the best part of a year, an ongoing project for the Tower of London, parts of which are starting to go on display now. the images are in the various prison areas of the Tower as part of the permanent display - most of them are printed on large panels in the Bloody Tower, and are based around the story of the two princes whose bones were found nearby. i'm working on several other stories based in other parts of the Tower, and alongside the illustrated elements i'm also working on audio, video and animation as well, and i'm nowhere near finished yet, so there will be more of this still to come.

le monde

something else that's just turned up in the post, a couple of new pieces for le monde, this is also out now.

hohe luft & more

some more stuff turned up in the post the other day. an illustration in the current issue of hohe luft magazine, the yuko vinyl has arrived from the guys over at unday, and on a similar theme, a piece for this sunday's observer, coming out in a couple of days.

yuko

here's the sleeve for belgian band yuko's great new album, out now. you can listen to the album over at standaard.be. will post a few more pics of this when i get a copy.
