Masterclass Speaker: Maite Franchi

Maïté Franchi is a French illustrator working with eye-catching and pattern-filled digital compositions.

Masterclass Speaker: Christopher DeLorenzo

Christopher DeLorenzo is a freelance illustrator based in Massachusetts known for his clean-lined, firm aesthetic, but the content itself holds a cheekiness that keeps up-to-the-minute brands such as Mr Porter, Converse, Google and Tiffany & Co. eager to work with him.

After studying Communication Design at Syracuse University in upstate New York, he initially trained as an art director before beginning his work as an illustrator. “I really like to work with clients that make stuff, whether it’s clothes, guitars, drinks, food, films… I like to be involved and a part of that process where the other side understands the care and quality of image and craft.”

Chris is represented globally by Agent Pekka.

Masterclass Speaker: Hedof

Hedof is the one-man creative studio of Dutch illustrator Rick Berkelmans. His striking illustration work is a thoughtful, well balanced composition full of candy coloured sceneries, suspicious characters and wonky shapes that reflect Rick’s positive attitude and his studio filled with silly looking toys.

Berkelmans’ laid back, yet smart approach to imagemaking has found it’s way into numerous magazines, products, advertising campaigns, installations and huge walls, all over the globe.

Always able to maintain a strong, recognizable voice while working through different disciplines for clients such as Nike, Samsung, Lotte World Mall, Red Bull, Bombay Sapphire, Greenpeace and YouTube.
