Wine festival guide - Financial Times by Andrew Joyce

A quick editorial header illustration for a guide to worldwide wine festivals in a recent issue of the Financial Times.
Even though editorial work usually requires an impossible turn around, I find it to be quite enjoyable as, in my experience, you get quite a bit of freedom in making the final image. The Art director is usually juggling a million deadlines and doesn't have the time go back and forth with changes so you're free to experiment a little more (or draw the things that you want to draw). Many of the changes in style of my work have come through experimenting when working on editorials.
