GIANLUCA FALLONE
What´s not to like in Gianluca´s Work? From Manga to V as Vendetta BD style or Gorillaz, to this tremendous cool retro 80´s Tron meets StarWars illustration, everything fits in my taste as I could almost say the artist has been compiling what is on my visual brain. Coolest thing is that is on most of our visual brains too. Go visit his work, it´s pretty amazing.

HELLO VON
In 2005 we´ve interviewed Hello Von and 4 years later the style could not be better and more astonishing. Technique is perfected, characters expression too. The characters dynamics are so strong, that you always get the idea of movement. Coolest thing? After 4 years evolved into a graphic design - illustration with such a strong poetic vein that shows how his talent cannot stop growing and stop surprising. Please visit the artist´s web site and check our 2005 interview too.

MARCOS CHIN - Illustration and Fine Arts
This is the impressive work of Marcos Chin. It presents us some calm, some stormy atmospheres and surroundings, with amazing technique on characters. Most known works are the illustrations done for Lavalife´s international advertising campaign; appearing on subways, billboards, print and online. I am quite fond of hair treatment and character expression, very well achieved.

This is the work Fernando Chamarelli, brazilian designer and illustrator from São Paulo.
I´m pretty fond of the civilzation crossing that he achieved with his style. The surreal ambience is well achieved too as the characters and styles impose the cultural mix.
