Born in Kolkata, India I moved to the UK as a teenager and to London when I got into Central Saint Martins to study illustration. After 29 years in London I moved to Hastings on the south coast for more space, light and time.

Marco Oggian has wanted to be illustrator since he was just a little kid. Describing his style as “simple, strong, a five-year-old could do better”, it seems that a lot of that energy has stayed with him. Although most small children don’t quite have Marco’s client base, there’s definitely more than a touch of the playful to the Italian illustrator’s colourful approach. But his simple shapes and bright colours are often deployed to highlight more serious issues, from the environment to the war in Syria. Born in Italy but now based in La Coruña in Northern Spain (for his “lovely girlfriend and of course tapas and beer!”), Marco is largely self-taught, after being expelled from college pretty-early on. Ever the optimist, the young illustrator frames his departure from formal education as an opportunity for self-study and to gain life experience. “Since I had the chance to start working earlier than my peers, I have already done a lot of interesting things: travel, give talks, put on exhibitions and performances – all this is incredible,” he enthuses.

Bratislav Milenkovic is an illustrator based in Belgrade, Serbia where he graduated from the Faculty of Applied Arts. Having been a freelance illustrator for the past couple of years, Bratislav had the opportunity to work with a wide range of editorial clients from all around the world. While working on assignments or just flicking through the archives of vintage illustration, his dog Vito keeps an eye on him in the studio at all times. For Bratislav, the best way to start the day is a morning chat with his girlfriend, over a cup of a good pour over coffee.
