Jade Pilgrom is a graphic artist and illustrator. She graduated from Ringling College of Art & Design in 2011, with a BFA in Illustration and has since worked as a freelance illustrator.

While adept at several mixed media, she prefers digital art as production is clean and efficient for her clientele.

Her knack for figurative art and portraiture takes the stage in the majority of her works, using sharp vector shapes and gracefully energetic lines to create a classic yet updated feel to her fashion illustration.

Her art often calls back to pop art heydays with oft-bold colors, with special attention to the allure of the feminine form and the broad shapes of the masculine form. This mixture of old and new allows her style to reach across several genres, including children's books, varied fashion book covers, news design editorials, and greeting cards for Hallmark.

Rebecca Coltorti is an illustrator and mixed media artist based in Italy.

Despite her short career at just 21-years old, her works have been published in important magazines and websites like Schön!, Grazia,  Nylon, Fucking Young, Idol and she’s currently collaborating in creating visuals for Sisley Italy women's collection.

Her skills have been applied to the creation of brand profiles too, including international brands such as Alfaparf Milano.
