After graduating from Brighton University with a degree in Architecture, Amber carved a new path in the direction ceramics, print making and illustration. The technical and formal side to architecture had her craving a more fun and playful output art, where she started to explore dreamlike colour palettes and explosive female characters. Her Pear & White Tea characterisation exudes joy through symmetry.

Timo Kuilder is an Amsterdam-based illustrator who seeks out the balance between memory and curiosity throughout his work. Through memory, he journalises his surroundings and a variety of imagery from his past. His curiosity bends these memories into abstract, minimalist pieces, imagined in pen, pencil & paint. Timo has also published his own book titled ’Until One Sunday We Didn’t’, which beautifully dissects his relationship with his bipolar father who ‘changed from one day to the next’.

Brooklyn based illustrator Spencer Gabor creates mayhem and vibrancy in his character focused scenes. He has a penchant for geometric and playful characters. We loved his work as soon as we saw it, it was then a case of reigning him in to create a simple, slick Californian cool character which would work in one colour. He of course nailed it, despite being an East coaster. 

Jamie is a talented illustrator, graphic designer and painter from Bristol. He uses clean black lines and loud block-fill colouring in his designs, with influence from neo-graffiti and pop art. He loves to design characters, developing charismatic, animated figures that have previously gone on to decorate record sleeves and magazine articles.  The equally charismatic character for our Negroni was born during a brief hiatus from his travels across Australia.

Marnie graduated Leeds Art School two years ago but already has a prominent style and following as an independent artist. She draws inspiration from the people that surround her in her everyday, with her pieces combining bold shapes with a fun and playful feel. Although her work often ends up being digitised, it always starts with a hand-drawn pencil sketch. While she’s not working or illustrating, you’ll probably find her knitting sweaters.
