Carissa a commencé à dessiner dès son plus jeune âge, s'inspirant des livres d'images, des bandes dessinées et de ses films d'animation préférés. Elle a étudié le graphisme et l'animation à Brisbane, en Australie, mais est tombée amoureuse de l'illustration lorsqu'elle a travaillé sur son premier livre pour enfants. Elle vit aujourd'hui à Melbourne, où elle aime explorer les cafés des ruelles et observer la chute des feuilles d'automne, tout en faisant de son mieux pour rester au chaud. Elle passe la plupart de ses journées à dessiner sur sa tablette ou son ordinateur, avec une tasse de café chaud et un bon podcast ou livre audio en fond sonore. Bien qu'elle travaille en numérique, son travail artistique s'inspire des styles d'illustration traditionnels des livres classiques pour enfants qu'elle lisait lorsqu'elle était petite. Elle aime créer des personnages amusants dans des décors colorés et essaie généralement de dessiner un chat ou un chien quelque part sur la page si elle le peut.

AMANDINE JUNG, MUCH MORE THAN COLORING, AN ADVENTURE, SHARING AND A TOUCH OF MAGICAL…

Born in 1987, in Brittany, in the land of fairies and korrigans, Amandine Jung lets herself be captivated by tales and legends, wacky nursery rhymes, cartoons of all kinds. She keeps her childish soul in a world that she imagines to be dark and poetic. In his imagination, the sun can disappear to make way for the moon, Snow White can bite into a pearl apple, and a little shrew flies curiously in the sky. Going from a simple image in your head and succeeding in giving it shape is a difficult creative process. Amandine plays with paint, lines and her ideas. It feeds on the slightest word, on a tiny musical note, on a sweet spicy smell, on the sound of the rain falling on the ground, on the autumn leaves singing in the Breton forests, on the moon which makes her dream, of the simplest image and her overflowing imagination does the rest.

Since 2018, the artist has launched into the world of coloring and revealed a new talent for creating coloring books for adults. In 2020 her first book “Snow White, the Poisoned Princess“ was released, followed in 2021 by “Cinderella and the Halloween Ball“, in 2022 “Pinups, Special edition 2022” marks the beginning of his consecration, his name is starting to resonate almost everywhere.

In October 2022, for Halloween, Amandine Jung is offering a whole new adventure with her first novel “Chrysalis, Tale 1: Le Coma Noir“. She takes us on a journey into a poetic and fantastic tale in the Kingdom of the Moon, a sunless world dominated by eternal night.

November 2022, in her third coloring book, Amandine Jung dives into the famous tale of Hans Christian Andersen. This time, it is between land and sea that Amandine invites us on a journey. Through his illustrations, imbued with his unique and dreamlike vision, rediscover this wonderful tale from our childhood: “The Little Mermaid”. Page after page, while brushes and pencils dance, relive the captivating and tragic story of little Ondine, who inspired many writings, from yesterday to today.

Self-taught, I embarked on the adventure of illustration recently.

Since the end of 2019, I have been collaborating with authors who wish to have their books illustrated and at the same time I also offer drawings which are part of two collections;

• the “Câlins” collection
• and the “Un instant dans le vent” collection.

All original paintings are made from acrylic and watercolor. The illustrations of the 2 collections are reproduced in Art stationery in the form of cards, bookmarks, pocket notebooks and on wooden toys (puzzles, dominoes and memo) and are sold by around a hundred partners with whom I work .

I am releasing my first book as a publishing house in November 2022. For this first work which is a cooperative book, you will be able to discover the expression of 24 authors who have written stories inspired by my illustrations. This book will be aimed at young people, entirely made in France and will be in large format with 27 full-page illustrations.

I hope that the adventure can continue for a long time, thank you for reading these few words

"Marianne Berger, aka Mine Azimutée, is an independent French illustrator. She started in 2008, but her passion for drawing goes back a long way...

As soon as she could hold a pencil! She entered the world of illustration by drawing children's books, and today works for a wide variety of clients and media: children's publishing, textile illustration, creation of logos, personalized portraits for individuals, etc. .

According to Marianne, when you have the chance to do this job, you can constantly diversify your creative projects, and therefore be happy to get up every morning to draw! Her love of animals and nature has surely influenced her graphic style, which she herself defines as “soft and poetic... always with a little touch of humor”.

And when she puts down her pencils, Marianne devotes herself to her second passion, Karate! "

Automotive artist Bruce Kaiser has been passionate about drawing, sketching, designing and painting cars since he could hold a pencil. He loves painting hot rods, drag cars, muscle cars, sports cars, Indy cars, Formula 1 cars. any type of car, as long as it's cool, loud and fast. He grew up in the '60s hanging out at the local A&W drive-in, first on his bike, then with his first cars. It was Detroit's golden age of big muscle cars and the sights and sounds of hot cars under the lights of a local burger joint still influence Bruce today. Bruce strives to capture in his paintings these perfect summer nights as he remembers them. The local drag strip held drag races on Friday nights and he spent many nights there trying to capture the excitement of the funny cars and drag racers of the 60s-70s under the lights, on film and now with brushes and paint. His paintings depict large muscle cars and hot rods like GTOs, Camaros, Hemi-Cudas, Novas, Chevelle SS, Mustangs, 32 Ford Coupes, Yenko Camaros, Super Bees, 40 Ford Coupes and many others. Bruce likes to show the cars in his paintings as he remembers them as a child, not as pristine new muscle cars, but as cars that have been modified and competed in races, like a Chevelle SS with Chargers or a 55 Chevy with cut out fenders. Many of his paintings of hot rods and muscle cars are for sale as limited, signed and numbered prints.

He began his artistic career as an advertising artist and graphic designer after graduating from the Art Institute of Boston. After working for 16 years at a local advertising agency, he struck out on his own and currently creates advertising art and illustrations for numerous street rod, muscle car and race car equipment manufacturers. His commercial art, which includes cutaways, exploded views, line drawings and color illustrations, has appeared in most major street rod and muscle car magazines and his catalog designs have won numerous awards. Professional Affiliations.

The Painting Process
Bruce's paintings are painted at the same size or larger size than the finished art print. He likes to paint large so he can capture the details that make his paintings special. Bruce strives to make his paintings as technically accurate as possible and spends a lot of time researching each subject (which is the fun part, because then he gets to look through his old magazines). Paintings are made using an opaque watercolor called "Designers Gouache" on smooth professional illustration board. The smooth illustration board has a very fine tooth which gives a nice texture to brushstrokes while maintaining a sharp edge for fine details. A pneumatic paintbrush is used for homogenizing a car's finish. He uses Designers gouache because of the vibrant colors and precise details it achieves. Bruce loves 1960s car advertisements and architectural renderings made with this technique. One of the disadvantages of opaque watercolors is that it is difficult to make changes or correct mistakes.

Bruce began exhibiting his artwork at the first Hot Rod Heritage Fine Art Exhibit in 1986 at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, where he has since been a featured artist. He was also one of the featured artists at the Gallery Automania Hot Rod Heritage Art Exhibit in Rochester, Michigan. His painting "Jim Hogg County" was the first to appear on the cover of Street Rodder magazine. He also wrote and illustrated articles that appeared in Street Rodder and Custom Rodder magazines. He was commissioned by Group Promotions to create the cover illustration for the book "Road Rockets", one of the titles in a limited edition collection of the famous Hot Rod novels for teens from the early 60s by author Henry Gregor Felsen. He also does automotive design and concept renderings for custom car builders like Posies Rods and Customs.

Bruce also did lettering, graphics and murals for race cars, vans and bike tanks, he airbrushed the "chrome" details of funny car bodies and did flame painting jobs for hot rods "back in the day." In addition to his automotive art, Bruce enjoys creating science fiction and aerospace paintings and has been published in the National Space Society magazine. He is passionate about F1, Indy Cars, NASCAR and Drag Racing. He also likes great American and European classics, sports cars and vintage racing cars. Bruce lives north of Albany, New York, with his wife Tina and their two dogs Westie, and he has one son, Warren. He and his wife enjoy tinkering with their collection of old cars and taking his converted '67 Rambler Rogue (401 and 2-4bbls!) on trips, shows, and cruises.

I was born in Russia. My father was a soldier, a fighter pilot. So, as you will have understood, we moved a lot. I spent my childhood and youth from one place to another.
From Estonia to Latvia, even from the Arctic to Ukraine and seven years in Siberia.

Living in Madrid (Spain) since 2002. My husband is Spanish and I love this country too.

I have always drawn and painted, since my childhood. I had this gift. In 2004, I also started sculpting until I discovered Photoshop. Since then, I have worked exclusively in this field. I think it's a summary of everything I've done before.

Photomanipulation is my passion but also my work!

I'm a big dreamer, drawing and graphics have entered my life as a way to express myself.
I love entering my world, it's like a break.

After my baccalaureate, I had the chance to study art, I took the chance to get started, even if it's not always easy, I don't regret it.

I am a self-taught American artist, working from my studio in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Since 2006, I have been selling my artwork online, at events, and through licensed products.

My childhood was spent in Northern California, where I discovered my passion . Like many artists, I have always been obsessed with drawing and coloring! Everything was going well when I received a new coloring book and a new box of colored pencils. Drawing has always been a part of me: my first paid freelance job was when I was 11 (a colored pencil drawing of a bald eagle for my science teacher's son as a birthday present). birthday) ; I was the dedicated artist in every school group project; and after school, I was the girl knocking on your door trying to sell you hand-drawn bookmarks for 50 cents each! When I wasn't at school, doing homework, or doing household chores, I was drawing, writing, reading, or making something. I am a completely self-taught artist and received my Associates Degree in Commerce in 2007. I am thrilled to be able to share my talent with the world and make a living from it!

My Original works are created by hand, in watercolor pencil and ink on illustration board, using traditional materials and techniques. Dimensions range from miniature (2.5"x3.5" up to 11"x14", although I could go a little larger). Sometimes I work with acrylics on wood, which allows me to paint a little larger and use different techniques. I also do all my graphics for internet and product use, and I produce many of my own prints and studio products, and I publish my own coloring books and trading cards. I currently license my artwork to outside companies for use on products such as cross stitch charts, stationery, rubber stamps and more. I love being able to feature my artwork on products that I know people will use and enjoy!

Fans have been collecting my artwork on sites like eBay and Etsy for many years now, and hundreds of my original paintings and prints are found in many personal collections around the world. My fans are very important to me, because I wouldn't be where I am today without their support! I look forward to a wonderful future where I will have the opportunity to license other products, illustrate books, and paint other fun characters and artwork for everyone to enjoy. all :).

Since her adolescence, she turned to digital, a medium that allowed her to explore new ways of expressing her vision of the world. Digital tools have opened up endless possibilities for her, allowing her to mix traditional and modern techniques, creating a distinctive and instantly recognizable style.

His works, often imbued with a vibrant palette of colors, tell stories that cross genres and eras, combining the ancient and the modern, the real and the imaginary. Their main characteristic is undoubtedly their ability to evoke intense emotions through the simplicity of shapes and the complexity of colors.

In 2023, at the age of 26, Julia joined the Oraloa artists. Integration into this group allowed him to expand his network and collaborate with other talented artists, thus enriching his own work.

In addition to her career as an artist, Julia is also a fervent advocate of art education, convinced that digital art offers unparalleled opportunities for the new generation. She regularly leads workshops and seminars, sharing her know-how with young emerging talents.

Today, Julia Catleen continues to push the boundaries of her art, constantly seeking to evolve and innovate. With the support of the Oraloa collective and the growing recognition of the artistic community, the future seems bright for this undeniably talented Iowa artist.

Julia Spiri is an artist with a unique style and talent. She puts so much detail into each drawing that it is very enjoyable to color them and bring them to life. If you love the world of fantasy and magic, her art is for you.

Julia works as a freelance artist, and painting is her full-time job . Julia holds a bachelor's degree in fine arts. For many years, she has painted portraits and illustrations. She has illustrated a series of coloring books and story books for children. Her style is influenced by fantasy art, fantasy art, and pop surrealism.

Julie Courchesne draws her inspiration from the simple joys of life. She creates works that evoke the memory of an era and that make you smile. In addition, the amalgamation of drawing and painting brings a unique perspective to the paintings. All his works present an aspect of lightness, of sketch effect and these come to life with the living colors and unique textures.

Since her early childhood, art has been part of Julie's life and it was during her high school career that she took her first oil painting lessons. With time and university studies, art and painting were temporarily put aside. However, upon completion of her courses she returned to her passion and explored a new medium, that of acrylic, which she still uses today.

For Julie, her true growth results from a visit to an art gallery in Quebec City in 2013. She immediately felt drawn to this artistic field. From then on, painting would take a very special place in his life. Since then, she has used a self-taught method and painted daily.

Julie is a passionate artist for whom a life without painting would be unimaginable, gray and empty. Art gives her balance in her daily life and she uses this attachment to release her creativity and express her emotions. This flame, which art represents in his eyes, allows him to escape, to stop time and to fully live the present moment.

I was born in the Bouches du Rhône and I spent my childhood between the pretty forests of Burgundy, my mother's country, and the scrubland of Marcel Pagnol.
When I was little I wanted to be Snow White , Cinderella, getting lost in wonderland or sometimes knowing how to wiggle my nose like my beloved witch while daydreaming in front of Sarah Kay's illustrations.

Pensive, I had long ago invented a magical world where I could take refuge at leisure.

“Then she fell asleep in a long, very long sleep…”

I drew like all children draw but without knowing that it would become a real passion.

I am self-taught and I started sketching especially landscapes and still lifes. Drawing appealed to me a lot but I was never completely satisfied with my "subjects of study".
One day I sketched a little sprite in a landscape and it seemed to me so natural that I continued on this path.
Since then I have dedicated my drawing to all these little characters who accompanied me in my childhood and whom I had so much pleasure in meeting again. I now like to bring them to life on a sheet of paper.
I continued to combine my passion for drawing with the magical world as well as my passion for certain periods of history.

My inspirations are quite varied but often revolve around magic or fantasy since I equally appreciate the softness of the illustrations of Meredith Dillman or Delphine Gache like the darker drawings of Tim Burton or Barbara Canepa.

I have been working in the field of professional training for adults for 20 years and I have been a declared freelance illustrator since 2008. I balance my time between a very humanly enriching job, my family life and my passion for drawing.

Keeping a part of magic and childhood is vital for me.

I will end with my favorite quote:

“What makes the poet ? Isn't it love, the desperate search for the slightest ray of sunshine playing on the parquet floor of a child's bedroom”
François Mauriac. 

My work as an illustrator

I dreamed my engravings like prince’s kisses,

a little naive and childish, they speak to your inner child, the one who deep inside you has never really grown up.

Embedded with melancholy, they speak to you of lost worlds, of the forever-gone melodies of your childhood.

Sometimes you'll bite into the poisoned apple, other times it's a frog that will wake you up.

Often, they are little wood fairies who look deep into your eyes and say:

“Remember”

My illustrations are made using different techniques, either traditional, watercolor, acrylic and colored pencil; or in digital painting in Photoshop. I always try to distill magic and softness into my way of painting, whether traditional or digital.

My name is Lisa Hudson, a 29 year old digital artist from Australia. From a young age, I was fascinated by art and technology, which naturally led me towards the world of digital art. My love for animals is often a source of inspiration for my works. I create images that capture not only the beauty and spirit of animals, but also scenes that reflect their interaction with the natural world.

I am particularly passionate about the potential of digital art to raise awareness of wildlife conservation. Through my creations, I seek to establish an emotional connection between the public and the animal world, hoping to create awareness and increased respect for our natural environment.

My journey is not only an artistic quest, but also a personal journey that allows me to explore and celebrate the deep connection we share with all forms of life.

Today, Marie Antoinette is considered one of the most talented and promising illustrators in the Philippine art scene, and continues to inspire and amaze people with her creative and colorful work.

WHERE I COME FROM

I am a self-taught painter. I started oil painting by exploring different techniques. Not discovering what I was looking for, I continued to draw for my own pleasure and turned to graphic design for over 20 years, where I explored different visual styles. This is where my style appeared. This change pushed me to return to the countryside and devote my time to my family life.

WHAT INSPIRES ME

This other path allowed me to find a style of artistic expression that reflects my colorful, spontaneous and gentle side. Inspired by the animal and human kingdoms, I like to paint my subjects in a setting of movement and very colorful vegetation. A setting that amazes and transports you into dreams, via the magical universe that emerges. I want to touch that spark of magic present in everyone.

WHERE DO I START

My works follow these stages of production: I start by producing an automatic drawing, then I let myself be inspired by the range of colors to use and finally, I finish with a black line in Indian ink.

ARTISTIC STYLE

My art oscillates between Pop Art, psychedelic and naive art. My works express Joy and awaken us to the Space of emptiness through their bright colors applied in solid colors using acrylic paint. I believe that the black lines surrounding each shape create a distraction for the mind, which creates inner calm. In my opinion, the black lines represent 0.001%* of our material reality, while the solid colors are Space. We believe we are separated from Space when separation is only a tiny part of reality, as we understand it.

FEATURES

My works are distinguished by the absence of a straight segment and the presence of continuous movement. They contain a multitude of shapes, ranging from circles, many of which are concentric, to hearts and flowers which arrange to form different mythical symbols.

* According to quantum physics our material reality represents only 0.001%, the 99.999% is the Space of the quantum vacuum, i.e. the unlimited.

« What can you say about me? ?

I was born in Belgium where I still live.

My taste for creation and drawing comes from my mother who introduced me to different creative hobbies and reading from a young age.

Once I started drawing, I didn't stop. I scribbled on everything and anything, even my course papers.

My influences are numerous: Comics and a little more the world of manga, video games, cinema and series, and of course, my reading. I am passionate about tales, myths and legends which are inexhaustible sources for my imagination.

In terms of my studies, I started with a year in drawing before continuing in digital arts from which I graduated.

But subsequently, I refocused on illustration and comics where I can better imagine, express myself and feel like myself.

In terms of my work, although I most often color my illustrations by computer, I remain an unconditional user of paper format for my sketches, and I sometimes try my hand at watercolor.

I don't know what else to say, I hope that my work will touch you and please you.

I thank Oraloa for the new experience and adventure it offers me with this collaboration.

See you soon,

Since then, he has worked as a character designer for major animation studios on several children's television series. His love of animation and visual development is influenced by artistic heroes such as Cory Loftis, Max Ulichney and Annette Marnat.

His background in character design is evident in his illustration style; strong characters and lively illustration concepts are his main specialty.

In 2020, Finbar branched out into freelance work and moved to Germany to work as a designer and illustrator. Finbar now works out of his studio in Cologne and when he’s not illustrating or drawing, he’s busy learning German and taking long walks in his local park to find inspiration for his next drawing or illustration.

Snow leopards, white tigers, elephants and lions; the earth, the moon, galaxies and nebulas-these are the subjects that leap off a Schimmel canvas and into the hearts of those who see his work. For over twenty years now, Schim Schimmel has been painting in a style uniquely his own, expressing on canvas his love and awe for this incredible planet, its animals, and the
universe that brought them into being.

Schim Schimmel studied art with his father, William Schimmel, a well-known watercolorist and art instructor. Schim subsequently taught watercolor, oil, and acrylic landscape painting to thousands of students for over a decade. In 1987 he quit teaching to devote full time to his developing art style, the style he is now recognized for around the world.

In 1991 Schimmel’s artwork was shown at the Tokyo Art Expo in Japan. His work was immediately embraced by the Japanese, and a year later he was asked by Shogakukan, one of the largest book publishers in Japan, to write a children’s book using his artwork. Since then, Schimmel has produced six more books, and has traveled to Japan over 50 times, attending hundreds of art shows in dozens of cities throughout the four main islands of the country. Schimmel continues to attend art exhibitions every year with Japan’s number one fine-art company. Art Vivant.

Schim and his wife. JoAnn, live in Arizona, U.S.
