The imagery used through-out the Stay Loose website is taken from an original illustration 'Charley & The Birds' from Bristol's much-adored illustrator, Ben Newman. A regularly exhibited artist who has shown his work all around the world, Ben has also seen his illustrations used in numerous publications including the likes of Plan B Magazine (RIP), The Daily Telegraph, Amelia's Magazine and Nobrow.

The leading voice in a flood of artists, illustrators and photographers making their name in the West Country, Ben's work has been described, rather splendidly we might add, as "radically fuzzy felt bauhaus-folk illustrations". Indeed.

Over in the links column you can check out more examples of his work via his official site and his fantastic blog, Blogoliolio. We've also listed a handful of equally-brilliant Bristol-based artists and organisations who are each taking a small piece of responsibility in ensuring our lovely city of Bristol remains one of the creative hubs of this Fair Isle.

Ben is represented by the fine folk at Pocko People.
