The Illustrators
The work of Mick Brownfield and Allan Manham.
Every day of our lives, without entering an art gallery, we are subjected to a barrage of images created by hundreds of contemporary artists. Yet they themselves remain anonymous. They are the illustrators who draw and paint for advertisement hoardings, for magazines, newspapers, book jackets, record covers. Arena filmed two British illustrators working on their current projects.

The Swish of the Curtain
Artist Chris Orr probes the dreadful truth behind the net curtains of suburbia.
