]]>It’s this distinctiveness, together with the overall sense of optimism that his art emits, which has caught the attention of brands as big as Facebook, Nike, Cirque du Soleil, all of which have collaborated with Dyer.
Born in Peru and based in Toronto, the world is Dyer’s oyster. It is also where he finds his inspiration for his work. “We are all interconnected and even though we’ve created borders and hierarchies in the world we are still one people, a race of explorers in the constant pursuit of perfection,” he reflected in an interview with Talenthouse. “We have to learn to better help each other.”
According to Dyer, his purpose is to encourage social change through his mural, creating works that communicate the necessity of evolving and rising above our differences by understanding the interconnectedness of all living things. Reworking simple graphic elements into complex, sometimes meditative, patterns and meditative, his art is also meant to evoke a feeling of uplifting wonder.
With more than 20 years of experience under his belt, we might as well take note.

But technically I was a total beginner. My style is pretty low fi because my skills were pretty low fi, collage is also a great medium to work with if you can’t draw that well!”
Based in South East London, her clients include giants like Reebok, Nike, Prada, and Adidas, amongst others. With each project, a different set of tools is required. Sometimes her work requires hand-making collages, while other times its all completely digital, but more often than not she finds herself mixing it all up.
“I don’t feel like I really have a consistent process, everything I work on is so different,” she says. “The only thing that I really try to do for every job is research and mood boarding.” Take a look at the finished result in the gallery below.

]]>Growing up, the Swiss-born creative used to hang out in his parents’ woodshop. “I spent time drawing with my brother and making things out of wood,” he recalled. It was there, in his parents’ shop that he formed the first connection with the world of art and illustration.
But as he grew up, so did his passion for all things creative. Having worked for the past 10 years with almost all the key players in New York’s brand underground, Meye draws on his classical training and outsider’s perspective to develop an iconic graphic language and style.
His art is an inspiring mixture that includes anything from digital illustrations and murals to sneaker design and sculpting. “I believe risk-taking is more about daring to try something new,” he says. “You don’t want to be pigeonholed as the person who’s only known for one thing.”
There’s no shortage of creativity on his Instagram page. Here’s a taste:

]]>After graduating from design school in Italy, Zagnoli took over New York in 2008 and has been hard at work ever since. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Apartamento Magazine, and she’s collaborated with the likes of Fendi and the Guggenheim Museum. So, clearly, she has become the artist she was born to be.
“My path is probably very similar to that of many illustrators,” she told Freelance Wisdom. “You love to draw, you graduate from some sort of art school, you’re out and terrified, you’re desperate to find your own language, you sorta find it, you begin to work, your first works are terrible, you get better, you work more, one day you’re like ‘this is not too bad’ and you feel kind of happy for what you’ve done, then you’re lost again, two days later you’re happy again, you struggle to get paid, you finally get paid and you buy a nice pair of shoes.”
“One of the hardest parts was looking for a visual language,” she went on to explain. “I wasn’t looking for anything COOL back then but I was looking for something ‘me.’ A set of subjects, shapes, and colors that reflected who I was on the inside and made me feel comfortable. It wasn’t automatic but as soon as that started to take shape, more clients started to connect with my world and understand it.”
With more than 120k followers on Instagram, she’s clearly doing something right.
