Dongni is an illustrator from China, based in Beijing for now. After 1.5 years study at Cambridge School of Art, bold and vibrant colours became her typical style. In her extraordinary stories, there always are some brave characters, which are the ways to show early age children to solve some problems. The technique she uses ranges from mixed media to screen printing. She is interested in the storytelling based on journey, interactive children’s book design and how colours work in children’s picture books.

Octavia Bromell, is an illustrator and mental health advocate based in rural England. She works from a shepherd’s hut studio in the Dorset countryside, with her rescue springer spaniel, Willie, and fluffy but fierce cat, Betty. She takes direct inspiration from the flora and fauna just outside her studio, favouring lovely plants, and strong, interesting people. Working digitally with hand painted textures and details, her style reflects a positive outlook on an often challenging world.
