Andrew Kornylak’s first dream job was to be a musician. After playing classical violin through college, he realized that making a living as a musician was going to be an uphill climb. Funny thing is, he loves to climb. Climbing has been part of his routine for most of his life. It has taught him life lessons in perseverance, dedication, problem solving, and what values to look for in community. He couldn't exactly make a living at it, but climbing led Andrew to pursue adventure photography, focusing on people who live fringe lifestyles in order to pursue their passions. Today, he shoots everything else, from award-winning documentary film and music videos to regular feature editorial assignments. He is still drawn to unique and fascinating ways of life, and it seems in paying more attention to them, he has found his dream job.  
Judith van den Hoek studied at the Grafisch Lyceum in Rotterdam and then chose to specialize in fashion illustration. She took a one-year course on this subject in Amsterdam before becoming a full-time illustrator. She absolutely loves watching documentaries about Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, and Isabel Marant. They're a great source of inspiration for this fashion illustrator who uses simple yet expressive line work to capture each garment or collection she draws. Minimalism and simplicity are what make Judith van den Hoek's fashion illustrations stand out. One or two simple yet perfectly drawn lines help her to convey beauty, sensuality, and creativity in a very direct way. From there she adds just the right amount of color and detail to make the image feel fresh and exciting, bringing to it a personal touch.
