Charlotte Day has cultivated her deep-rooted fascination for all things horticultural into a career creating beautiful botanical illustrations. With a level of craftsmanship and detail rarely seen in contemporary illustration, but still retaining that modern edge, her work has found a home with packaging, book covers and editorial work alike.

David de las Heras is an artist and illustrator based in Barcelona. He studied art at the University of the Basque Country specialising in painting and as a result is exquisitely talented with a brush. There is a harmonious mix of contemporary graphic forms with his classical training that creates something both endearing and adept. Through illustration David found a more expressive and graphical way of communicating.
