Lutfi is an independent illustrator based in Amman, Jordan.
After starting work employed as a graphic designer, he decided to
diverge from that path, and give himself greater artistic freedom to
produce more imaginative work. Nevertheless, his graphic design
background remains evident in his style and technical approach,
when producing his witty and humourous illustrations.
Lutfi’s work is produced for a number of different outlets and in
various forms, including in gallery exhibitions and commissioned work,
and on clothing and other products.

Ben is a London-based cartoonist and illustrator who has produced
work for a variety of clients, including The Guardian, The Independent,
GQ and New Statesman. He was awarded the 2011 Political Cartoon of
the Year for his Gadhafi Treasure Map cartoon. His work is influenced
by what he sees around him; whether the man in the street, pop
culture or politics, it is all open to ridicule, questioning and comment.
Ben has been drawing cartoons for as long as he can remember. In his
Maths class at school, he’d be drawing scathing cartoons of his teacher
instead of Venn diagrams. He began selling caricatures at 15 and hasn’t
stopped since.
