Ana Yael
Since 2007, Ana Yael has worked as a freelance illustrator. Additionally, Ana works with stop motion, graphic design and has created private commissioned art. In the realm of illustration, she frequently creates images drawn from poetic visions, the realm of the absurd, and dreams like surrealistic visions.
In 2009, she was awarded a six-month residency in Switzerland by the Swiss Association of Visual Artists. During her residency she published covers, illustrating press and children’s albums. Her illustrative work has appeared in Spanish and international magazines, as well as on book covers of noted publishing houses. In 2010, Ana Yael published her first personal work, Start with a Goodbye. Several book projects followed, and she continues to be involved in future publications.

Colin Hayes
Colin has been a freelance illustrator since 1993. He is best known for being a pioneer of the humorous mock airline safety card style. Ironically, he was commissioned by American Airlines in late 2014 to recreate the safety card illustrations for their entire fleet. Sadly, he was not given the okay to make them humorous. He lives in Spokane, Washington with his wife, two daughters, and studio mascot (and very needy) Labrador retriever.
