Daniel Cambil (Canada)
Daniel Cambil lives in Montreal, Canada where he studies literature at the University of Concordia.
I like to paint and draw. I would like to work with other artists around the world, especially in France and Japan.
Work description:
This picture is about an owl and a snake visiting the dam.
Sunjin (USA)
Born in South Korea, US educated, Sunjin freelances under the name of Pinkroom (named after the whimsical pink attic of her childhood home), and can be found wearing a myriad of hats, including designer, illustrator, and photographer, for clients such as Wired Magazine, Readymade Magazine, Travel & Leisure, New York Magazine, Dubtitled/Tommy Boy, Starbucks, etc.
Work description:
A Series of work titled “Mesh”; a study of lines, fragments, space, and movement.
KAPITZA (UK)
KAPITZA is a design partnership formed in London between sisters Petra Kapitza and Nicole Kapitza. Originally from southern Germany, the sisters have been living and working in London for over a decade. The new partnership, formed in 2004, focuses on book design and illustration with a particular focus on artist and exhibition work.
Work description:
This illustration is part of a period of work. It represents a snapshot of a larger process of experimentation. Often, a period of work will produce a number of variations, each with its own unique character.
Birgit Amadori (Germany)
I’m a 27 year old illustrator and originally from Germany, where I graduated from the HFG OFFENBACH. This year I came to the sunny shores of California and I’m now catching waves in Redondo Beach.
I have a great interest in japanese design and culture since many years, and I’m a big fan of Shift Magazine which brings me monthly news from the other end of the world. That’s why I want to thank you so much for letting me be in this publication!
Work description:
Lately I’ve been watching many japanese ghost movies when it’s dark and goosebumps have somewhat become my addiction.
I wanted to create a spooky picture, nothing that is obviously scary or disgusting. But I found to my surprise that some people see the scenery not as spooky, but also melancholic or even peaceful. In whatever way you perceive it, enjoy !
Pedro Inoue (Brazil)
Pedro Inoue is a quarter Japanese, a quarter French Swiss, a quarter Mozzarella, 5 times world champion in football and 27 years old. He currently lives + works in London where he is trying to move things around. He is addicted to utopias, Cortazar and to the idea of making human beings humans again. He likes to blink his eyes for a long time and the smell of new books and java-java coffee. He leaves little notes in bus stops, trains and cafes. He believes that in the end, poetry wins.
Work description:
A little phrase to start out the day. To remember people to not take life seriously.
Sarah Doyle (UK)
I am an artist in London and exhibit my work internationally. My work was shown this year along with a live drawing performance in Japan for my show at And A.
I also have work published in international magazines including Elle, Arty, Fake and Baby Baby Baby.
I use mixed media and drawing as the main processes as well as creating work in video and multi media.
The subjects I deal with typically concern popular culture and growing up. I explore the sense of being an outsider experienced by most teenagers, a feeling of alienation and looking for a place where you fit in the world. Looking for something you have in common with other people. The themes of my work involve fantasy and reality, disguise and self-discovery.
Work Description:
A List stars created in Felt Tip.
To be part of an A List is the ideal in the mind of most people, these iconic figures live a seemingly fairytale existence. They are the desired and we project our own need to feel desired on to them.
Here the A List stars from Hollywood and music are listed and drawn in the same way teenagers draw pictures of their idols in their bedrooms, using teenage drawing materials.
