A lot of people (usually my family) say 'Philip why is your art so dark and gloomy?" and I usually reply "I need a martini" Anyway here (above) is an example of my lighter more colourful side. It's for a magazine called Mortgage Monthly (yes you heard right) and I produce four of these covers a year.I really enjoy creating these illustrations because the art director gives me complete freedom.My family likes these illustrations because they are happy and joyful, unlike my other work which is, shall we say a little deeper.I sent this illustration to my sister and she said 'Philip why don't you create more art like this?" to which I replied "I need a martini".
So for the readers who prefer the lighter side of my brain go to www.anicecupoft.com
for the readers who like it a little (lot) darker go to www.philipbrooker.com

Philip! I prefer the darker stuff, especially the WWII inspired Nazi tinged work. And am I ever going to get that German Eagle TShirt? EA
yes yes yes yes...........They are very hard to find..I wont give up..
I don't know why the song..."Shiny, Happy, People" by the B-52s popped into my mind when I saw this illustration...especially considering the mortgage market right now...perhaps it is darker when you think of it in those terms. M
shiny happy people indeed........
Shiny Happy People--by REM. Kate Pierson just performed backup. Not that it matters--but your peeps should be informed.
The illustration is excellent in its own way--but does anyone ever listen to their family? Mine doesn't understand what I do--and I've been doing it for 20 years. You do best what your heart guides.
thank you for all the music info...I never really did listen to them.........nor them me......
