Orixe Sotelo, wine producers from California, commissioned me to do a series of illustrated posters that represented important locations for the brand, either because they are related to the wine’s origins or because they are connected to the wine they produce. The result was this series that mixed old travel posters with Orixe's DNA. < Travel to Wine Country> is created by 2023 Golden Pinwheel Illustration Competition finalist @juan_depelos Juan David Cadena (Colombia), learn more about his work: http://www.ccbfgoldenpinwheel.com.cn/en/index/index-finalists/detail!57e8aij8 🏆The 2024 Golden Pinwheel Competition is calling for entry until June 11 (23:59, GMT+8) for #BookPublishing & #Commercial categories!

The story is about one of Iran's environmental problems. Indiscriminate cutting of trees, unprincipled agriculture in many regions of Iran and Asian countries have caused floods or drying up of many rivers. This is a big problem. I would like to illustrate this book so that this topic can be seen better. Maybe I have helped the people of my country. The story takes place in the south of Iran. A boy who lost everything due to a terrible flood is now living with his family on the roof of his house
A giant puzzle for growing big brains! This beautifully-illustrated puzzle includes 30 activity cards to discover the building and people who live in it. The one-meter long XXL puzzle includes a variety of exercises, such as following auditory instructions, coding, counting and observation. Activities are designed in three different levels of difficulty. This puzzle is an excellent aid for auditory development, learning new vocabulary and strengthening reasoning.
By using the design method of children's picture books to tell traditional Chinese stories, the most exciting "confrontational" aspects of the story are expressed using the artistic features of stone carvings. By extracting the elements of Nanyang Han Dynasty stone carvings and combining them with the constantly updated contemporary design language, the possibility of applying Nanyang Han Dynasty stone carvings to children's picture book design is explored.
The main idea of the original IP JIOMO series comes from the little sentiments of summer life and the beautiful things around us that are worth noticing. The artist creates a relaxing, nature-themed background for the JIOMO series, with a unique, imaginative, and whimsical worldview.
These are some illustrations from my graduation project for the Italian publishing house "Kite". This is a story about a person's choice: to be indifferent to the world around without noticing its beauty or to be attentive and sensitive to all living things. Through fantasy, very simple and important reflections of my character I tried to show the unity of man with nature, to emphasize that we always have a choice–the choice to love.
Series of illustrations realized for the new website and marketing campaign of the Communication Agency Close to Media, based in Milan. The purpose was to show the identity of the Company and his different working fields. The color palette is related to the historical colors of the Agency and the contest is always connected with the city of Milan, through a series of quotes: the floor of the M1 underground, the tiles of an old building designed by Ponti or the typical Milanese tram.
This is a nature story about a waterbird family. A young Moorhen born in early spring is about to become a big brother because his parents started their second brood. He is still not good at flying, but now needs to find his own food and help his parents build a nest and raise chicks. At first, he feels lonely and gets scolded by mum and dad but eventually starts enjoying feeding his siblings. The story is based on Moorhens' actual behavior as juvenile helpers.

A little wildcat gets posed this question, over and over: "What will you be when you grow up?". So she must decide! But what if little Wildcat only wants to be just that, a Wildcat, and follow her heart wherever that may lead her? This is the story of a little cat that grows up not knowing what she wants to be or do, but finds joy in the many adventures that life throws her way. She doesn't have a set path like many of her other friends, and that is perfectly ok. < "Little Wildcat, what will you be when you grow up?"> is created by 2023 Golden Pinwheel Illustration Competition finalist @carolinabuzio Carolina Búzio (Portugal), learn more about her work: http://www.ccbfgoldenpinwheel.com.cn/en/index/index-finalists/detail!3058ccdb 🏆The 2024 Golden Pinwheel Competition is calling for entry until June 11 (23:59, GMT+8) for #BookPublishing & #Commercial categories!

It’s about a girl who daydreamed in the physics class, that she traveled to the moon, witnessed the birth of the stars, and came back to the classroom, whereas the classroom was empty, and planets and books were floating in the air. It’s a project studied in illustrating the transitory fantasy, time and teen-growth. < Daydreaming> is created by 2023 Golden Pinwheel Illustration Competition finalist Hu Yawen (China), learn more about her work: http://www.ccbfgoldenpinwheel.com.cn/en/index/index-finalists/detail!f778bdk9 🏆The 2024 Golden Pinwheel Competition is calling for entry until June 11 (23:59, GMT+8) for #BookPublishing & #Commercial categories!

The traditions associated with Befana are various, full of secrets and metamorphoses. The arrival of the Befana coincides with the awakening of spring, with the life of plants and animals. The work done for these paintings was long but satisfying, I paint by layering the gouache starting with a very watered base to a final thickness. I was able to experiment with dark colours but in contrast the bright orange gives a sense of magic. < Vostra Befana> is created by 2023 Golden Pinwheel Illustration Competition finalist @eleniaberetta Elenia Beretta (Italy), learn more about her work: http://www.ccbfgoldenpinwheel.com.cn/en/index/index-finalists/detail!2ec8aji4 🏆The 2024 Golden Pinwheel Competition is calling for entry until June 11 (23:59, GMT+8) for #BookPublishing & #Commercial categories!

This work is inspired by Nine Songs from Quyuan, who expressed his love of his home country and the gods of the local people. In a way, it shows the different component of life, from birth to death, from young to old, female or male all represented by a short story. I used CG rendering and Chinese ink painting technic to visualize this.
Lori has birds, apricot trees and cheerful songs. Her grandmother has stories and deep lines… Every evening when the first star appears her grandmother tells Lori a story and Lori asks about the lines on her face. Days come and go like this, autumn comes. Lori reluctantly starts school and her grandmother forgets fairy tales. Then she starts to forget everything else slowly… Then would be silent together and not speak.
The Wordless Poetry series is a personal creative project that I started in 2023. Since I left for London to study in September 2022, I've been spending more time alone with myself, and being alone can help with concentration, but also causes loneliness. This series of works records some of the mental states in solitude, such as being calm, startled, nervous, and relaxed, and each painting represents a mental state.
These illustrations that are part of a book that talks about recess: a time of the day when children are free to enter their own world, where they can play and imagine whatever they want.
This is a key visual illustration commissioned by RF Center, an office park with a carbon neutral concept. The slogan of the campaign is: Welcome to carbon neutral life. In the illustration, I depict a scene where people live and work comfortably in an environmentally friendly space. They talk happily, enjoy their alone time, and live in harmony with nature. 🚴< Welcome to Carbon Neutral Life> is created by 2023 Golden Pinwheel Illustration Competition finalist Fan Linsen (China), learn more about his work: http://www.ccbfgoldenpinwheel.com.cn/en/index/index-finalists/detail!40e8jdd4 🏆The 2024 Golden Pinwheel Competition is calling for entry until June 11 (23:59, GMT+8) for #BookPublishing & #Commercial categories!

In a cold and distant country, two men are arguing. They’ve been arguing for so long, they can’t remember why it started in the first place. Having given up on finding a real solution, to settle it for once and for all they decide to fight a duel. Back to back, as in all duels, each man begins counting one hundred steps before turning around to shoot. 1, 2, 3, 4… There they go, moving apart. Where will they end up? A book about fights, conflicts, wars, but mostly about peace.
I projected a part of my personality onto the original IP character and Yoffee一一a big pink nose dog man was born! His philosophy is "Live in the moment and enjoy the moment." Therefore, with this relaxed looking painting series, Yoffee can enjoy himself wherever he goes, and hope that the readers who see the paintings will feel relaxed too.

In one village there was a long house and the tallest girl in the village lived in this house. This is Zelfa's daughter. Because of his height, he used to do things at a height. One day, he noticed that a puppet-making school had been established in the neighboring village. Because he was very tall, the school rooms did not fit him. His father decides to build him a house that fits his height so that he can attend classes. The story is about the challenges that arise for this father and daughter.
Each illustration describes a city and the related book. January, Warsaw. Campo de Fiori by Czesław Miłosz July, Paris, Notre-Dame de Paris & Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. August, Buenos Aires, Jorge Luis Borges Completas by Jorge Luis Borges. September, Barcelona, La Sombra Del Viento by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

When you are forced to share space with someone that is the complete opposite of you, it's very easy to get annoyed and think that you would be better off alone than in such bad company. However, making the effort to find common ground and learning to appreciate the other is very rewarding! "Better alone" tells the story of two very different cats learning to mingle and enjoy each other's company, told in a witty graphic style through a duotone colour palette and a big focus on composition.

"It turns out the darkness is a beautiful colour that allows the light to exist." Our doing nothing times are actually not as 'empty' as it seems. They are perhaps the most full, enjoyable and creative movements. Because there are endless journeys that your imagination can take. A little freedom, a little desire is enough to go to the most unexplored corner of the deep forest to be a guest of the never-before-known inhabitants of the forest and spend magical times with them.
