February 2025 Newsletter
We hope that 2025 has treated you well so far! We're very excited to have started off the year with announcements of new illustrators who have joined our roster. We strive to be your source of unique and groundbreaking talent, and these four artists certainly run the style gamut. Read on to learn more about these wonderful additions to our group.
Julio Antonio Blasco
Our first new artist of 2025 was Julio Antonio Blasco, an illustrator and graphic designer from Spain. His work moves between illustration, painting, collage, design and even sculpture made from small discarded objects. Any art medium you can think of, he has likely used. His mixed-media and mixed-discipline approach results in intriguing visuals for editorial, book publishing, posters and more that are sure to make you see things in a new way.
And to add even more diversity to Julio's work, he has also illustrated several children's books featuring adorable characters which can be seen in his Children's Illustration portfolio.
Alex Foster
?Next we welcomed Alex Foster to the group from Margate in the UK. Check out his portfolio and you'll quickly find that he specializes in illustrated maps of all kinds, while also having a penchant for hand lettering, infographics, book covers, children's illustration, editorial, and products/surface design. His cheerful, organic style is created with a layered, hand-drawn approach. Clients include Google, Penguin Random House, Air Canada, Airbnb, American Express, and Rutgers University.
Sara Gironi Carnevale
Sara Gironi Carnevale is an Italian illustrator based in sunny Napoli who has been illustrating for editorial, book publishing, and advertising since 2016.

She believes in the importance of making a difference in the world through her art. A few of her clients include Science Magazine, The New Republic, The Lancet, The Washington Post, Scientific American, Politico and The Wall Street Journal.
Christiane Beauregard
The distinctive, whimsical, nostalgic vector style of Christiane Beauregard is unmistakable. An early adopter of Adobe Illustrator – having worked on the first visual dictionary completely developed and illustrated in the program in the early nineties – she quickly recognized the synergy between the software and her artistic expression.? Her goal is to connect her visual interpretations to the human experience, engaging readers more deeply with the subject matter. Clients include McDonald’s, Canada Post, Deloitte, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Harvard Business Review, Johns Hopkins University, Southwest Airlines, and Celestial Tea.
