7th April, 2010 / London, UK: In their continuous mission to support the art of illustration, fashion illustration magazine Sketchbook collaborated with famed cover illustrator John-Paul Thurlow, to showcase and celebrate his works so far. John-Paul Thurlow will be showcasing his famed illustrated covers that pay homage to every magazine he has ever owned for the very first time, and more.

Created using fine pencil lines with astounding delicacy, these magazine covers show incredible technical skill. Rather than simply reproducing old covers, though, he adds punkish scribbles and leaves parts incomplete, alluding to the artist’s struggles and frustrations with perfection. Our exhibition shows the working process by exposing the different layers of progression until the piece is finished.

London-based graphic designer John-Paul Thurlow, who currently works as part of a creative agency with high profile clients like Gucci, launched his projects Covers, which is now being turned into a limited edition book (print run of 100) featuring his first 100 covers. Recently featured on this month's Elle as an Elle Preview and with Spike Jonze already asking to buy one, Sketchbook couldn't be more excited to be hosting a special exhibition for the famed illustrator at the pop-up shop.

It was here at 10 Newburgh Street, Carnaby, W1 that Sketchbook has been holding its hugely-anticipated Pop-Up Shop, in celebration of Carnaby’s 50 years of fashion and music, with live bands playing every Sunday.
