Nik Ainley
( United Kingdom )

Nik Ainley is a UK based illustrator who produces both personal and commissioned work. He rather bizarrely taught himself Photoshop in his spare time while gaining a degree in physics at Imperial College in London. He enjoyed it so much he ditched physics and moved full time into design and illustration.

He is an artist, graphic designer, toy maker, illustrator and proud gamer.

It comes to life from a variety of inspirations, that go through the obvious street art, to video games, to traveling and finding closure in everyday elements and situations that are part of life as well as inspirations in all small details that are inevitably absorbed.
He is now involved in several projects, books and exhibitions, partnering with several brands and individuals, besides his own personal projects.

Charuca
( Spain )

I have created my own studio in 2004. I enjoy with my work every day.  To work for myself it's a big pleasure. It makes me feel free. I'm specialized in Kawaii and cute designs for children or girls. It's so funny! I have been designing characters all my life. When I was at school, I had all my books and notebooks full of characters and dolls. Now I do it professionally. That's the only difference.
