Things I've learnt about Jack Hughes recently: he swears like a trooper. All of the unprintable words, often in the same sentence. And he likes a good bakewell tart. He's also the talented chap behind these blimmin' beautiful illustrations.
You might recognise Jack's work - he's currently the illustrator for email service "for the cultured man" Mr Hyde.
And he's got a book coming out - The Gentleman's Handbook will be hitting shops soon. He might be known for his dapper chaps, but I love his female illustrations. I adore this piece. The colours are perfect, and I've got illustrated hat and hair envy.
I think I want to be friends with this lady. Or at least get eyebrow shaping tips from her.
This guy is hot.
A lot of Jack's work is for clients only - his work has recently been in Elle Decoration and The Clerkenwell Post - but he does have a whole bunch of prints for sale directly from his website. Prices start at just £20. Go and get one.
That's so strange - I was just looking him up today! Mr Hyde is an awesome newsletter. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good! Newsletters aimed at men always seem to be - Thrillist is excellent.
DeleteHave you checked out his shop?
I have! There's quite a Mad Men feel to it - love it. Thanks for sharing this :)
DeleteThere is, and yet I'm loathed to describe Jack's work as such - the piece at the top of the feature is actually a book cover for Wharton's Glimpses of the Moon and that was set in the 20s.
DeleteI understand completely. Now that you mention Glimpses of the Moon, his work does indeed resemble a range of eras. I would also like to wrap up the man in that last piece. Ooh.
DeleteYeah, he's foxy. I think we fancy an illustration...
DeleteHow lovely!
