Rich McLean says he doesn’t think<br />
of himself as an illustrator. “I was<br />
a musician until a couple of years<br />
ago, and began designing posters<br />
for American concert promoters,”<br />
he says. “I just ended up doing<br />
the illustrations myself. They were<br />
originally hand-drawn and painted<br />
images.” Since then, he has be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
a freelance editorial designer, and<br />
uses Illustrator and Photoshop in<br />
all his design work.<br />
“My aim is to build a portfolio<br />
of work for editorial and advertising<br />
clients,” he says.<br />

Kev Speck graduated ten months<br />
ago, and is now a full-time freelance<br />
illustrator. He says he’s doing the<br />
job he’s dreamed of for six years,<br />
and believes passion, ambition, and<br />
enthusiasm can take you a long way.<br />
“My style fuses collaged<br />
photocopies and lazy tracings with<br />
layered textures to create colourful,<br />
beautiful, and heavily detailed<br />
illustrations,” he says.<br />
His list of clients includes WGSN,<br />
the NME, the FTM and Atomica<br />
magazine.<br />
