Walter Vasconcelos is an illustrator and designer. He lives in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil and works for clients all over the world.
He likes the idea that an illustration must be "read", deciphered, he doesn’t think of this as a kind of "hermetism", but rather as a way to preserve a "dynamics of creation". It is sometimes good to break the rules and build your own Universe.
Funky characters living in a mix-media collage world.




This is a hair-pulling-frustration-triggering day! Had to put on my geeky-nerdy-tecky gloves. Love to hate technology and all ingredients amply supplied to feed it – thank you. Not that I have ‘debugged’ everything.. but enough that workstations can now be accessed.
And as talented Bram Vanhaeren who offers an idea everyday – aptly says in this poster: The person that works the hardest wins!
Send me the prize. I deserve it.

Allan Sanders aka Loopland was born in a small grey shipbuilding town in the North West of England. After a brief career in computer programming he came to the conclusion that it would be more interesting to make drawings for a living. Proficient in character design.
Glad he did.




Salute Dushan Milic who is a tangent jumping, pun making, endlessly curious curmudgeon and who’s been illustrating and designing for over a decade.
Specializing in people, concepts & portraits that are drawn via pen and ink, or with Wacom and digitally coloured, movement and gesture dominate with a quirkiness generated from a drawn-from-the-gut approach that breathes life into his illustrations.



He is like a director. You sense there is a very real script behind all he does and what we get to see, is the capturing of a precise moment. The scene was carefully picked.
The richness of every project is based on human likeness… something that we can all relate to, without further explanations. We have ‘seen’ these before.
Each of his projects tells a story. It fires us. We recognize the analogies, the facial expressions, we understand, we see ourselves at one time or another of our life.
I don’t think I have seen yet character illustration and 3D figurines with such intense emotional presence.
Chris Sickels – a true master!

Liverpool born Adrian Johnson (b. 1974) has developed a unique and strongly identifiable body of work. His trademark economical, highly crafted, graphic work is constantly evolving, whilst always maintaining a healthy distance from current trends and passing fashions.
He knows the real potency of communicating with images.
Irresistible minimalist colorful signature.
