]]>Jell is a 16-year-old equestrian from Germany. both her parents are equestrians, so naturally, she grew up around horses. She was six when she first rode a horse, and by the age of seven, she started formally training in horse riding.
Jell has two horses, Imitado (or Imi) and Imperiosi (or Impi). The three train and compete in Working Equitation – a method of working with horses in farms and with cattle. This sport evolved from the traditional work that horses had on farms for hundreds of years. When machines started replacing horses, horse lovers turned what used to be farm work into a sport, maintaining the ancient tradition.
Jell has a very special bond with both her horses. Imi, her white horse, is calm and quiet, but also a bit shy. Impi is much more outgoing, but also a bit wilder. She loves them both and enjoys spending every day with them.
Jell uses social media to find other horse riders and form a community, and also to spread the love of horse ridings with people who’ve never ridden a horse. With over 130k followers, she’s well on her way to make horse riding the next big trend!

I’d like to think that sports fans who come across those bits of my work get the sense that they were made with an insider perspective.”
His illustrations are usually made with a limited color pallet and with an overflowing abundance of characters. “I’m really prone to over-drawing — putting too much down on the page and drowning the image in visual noise, and so I think using a single thick line-weight came about as a way of deliberately restricting the amount of marks I could make,” he explained. “It forces me to be smarter and more deliberate in how I draw and I’ve come to really enjoy the more rigorous process it requires.”
“Color is definitely something I really struggled with early on, but I’m feeling more and more in control of now,” he added. “I try to keep my eyes open to find interesting uses of colors as much as I can, and I’ve built palettes around color combinations I’ve seen in newspaper photos, films, supermarket shelves, and shop fronts.”
