Trina Dalziel has worked as a freelance illustrator since the mid-'90s, initially mainly for editorial and publishing commissions, but more recently, also crossing over into surface design.
Some favorite projects include seeing her work on Boden kids' pajamas, French and Italian swimwear, Land of Nod and BlueQ products in the USA, yet she continues to love the challenge of finding a clear, beautiful, visual solution to complex text or idea.
Originally from the North of Scotland, Trina studied Illustration and 20th Century Art and Design History that has fed into her love of art, design, nature, animals, Scandinavia, European cities, and her connection with children and the worlds they inhabit.
Robert G. Fresson has a masterful approach to traditional techniques, color processes, and wonderful use of line. Map enthusiast and illustrator, Robert spent the last few years honing his use and collection of technical drawing tools, materials, and Boy's Own annuals from the 1940s. He also has an inclination toward off-white papers, Ukiyo-e from Japan, and CMYK color separation. Humor is an important aspect to Robert's work, and he continues to develop a witty practice with a dextrous vintage aesthetic.
Joseph Vass is a silkscreen artist and illustrator living and working in London. His work fuses hand drawn typographic elements together with idealistic imagery, inviting the viewer to take a smooth ride through a utopian haze. A brush-and-ink demon, Joseph spends hours meticulously sketching on his light box before creating larger-than-life, colourful pieces that are silkscreened or used commercially in print, web, or advertising.
Valerio Fabbretti was born in Rome with a great passion for drawing, comic books, animation and spaghetti westerns. Valerio studied Illustration at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. After working for Disney Interactive, Valerio is now a character designer at Cartoon Network in Los Angeles and has published children books and comic books in USA and in Italy as author and illustrator.
Matt LeBarre is an accomplished award-winning illustrator. He was schooled at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree. Today, Adobe Illustrator is his digital weapon of choice when it comes to creating his (ahem) killer images. His lush images baffle many when they discover the art is actually vector based. His work has appeared in children's books, countless national publications, as well as many commercial applications.
Christopher Thornock is an illustrator and fine artist living in Utah. Born and raised in the western United States, he has always had his nose in an art book, a sketchbook on his lap, and a pencil in his hand. He received a BFA from Art Center College of Design and an MFA from Brigham Young University. When he is not creating, he spends time with his family or teaching at local universities.
Josh Talbot is an illustrator and designer living in Texas. When not drawing, ogling at old architecture, or camping out in an art museum, Josh can be found enjoying nature, eating pie, or spending time with his beautiful wife and daughter. His illustrations appear in newspapers, magazines, advertising, and books.
