After studying fine arts in high school and obtaining a BA and MA degree in Communication Design, Schnee has worked independently since 2015, with clients as big as Adidas, Nike, and The Washington Post. “I work mostly with abstract and vibrant elements,” she says. “Whether it’s an animation, a mural or an installation. I incorporate my shapes in every piece of my work. For me, it’s magical to tell a story just with abstract elements and special textures.”

Inspired by surreal artists such as Ernst, Magritte, and Miro, Schnee says she loves the way these artists incorporated irony and metaphors into their pieces – a thing she herself strives to do. “With my art, I hope I can reach a lot of people and move something in them,” She says. “I want them to take a moment and think and maybe also rethink. And that I want to achieve in a playful and fun way that should not be dry and boring to experience.”

With more than 10k followers on Instagram, her message is well heard.

Whether personal or commercial, it’s hard not to fall in love with her work. Sassy, voluminous and cheeky, it often comes with a great portion of humor and girl power; attracting clients like Cards Against Humanity, Google, NY Times, and Giphy.

“My work is whimsical and cheeky with a feminist touch,” wrote Hydman on I Do Art. “Chubby, confident girls are my favorite thing to draw and I prefer them nude in all their glory. I also have a thing for sad boys. I don’t know why I like it when guys cry, I just do, so I make them. Literally.” Her cheeky illustrations are inspired by other artists she finds on Instagram. “While working on an illustration I feel calm and concentrated,” she writes, “it’s a state of mind I’m longing for when I’m stressed out about something.”

“I tend to follow my gut and what I feel is funny, interesting or plain pretty in the critical moment of inspiration,” she adds. “Other times I just remember that I love The Beatles or that I’m just stunned by how awesome Sailor Moon is, so I pay a little tribute. It’s a project I do entirely for my own sake, for the fun of it and for some GIF-fame.”

“Over time my style has evolved,” he explained. “In the beginning, I used the details and textures to emphasize the story. As I started to deal with animation my illustrations have become simplified and more adapted to animation. Animation has enabled me to express myself in many ways. My style is a combination of smooth and flat shapes which are emphasized by the movement and wide range of colors.”

Talking about his artistic process, Dumic shared that “everything starts when I lie down to sleep. I try to write down or sketch all the ideas that are rushing thru my mind. For the animation purposes, I make storyboards which I later reproduce in a digital form. The script defines the style. I’m using a wide range of colors to create illustrations. The crucial aspect of animation is timing and emphasizing the right moment.”

“I’m inspired by just about everything around me,” she said in an interview with Create & Cultivate. “I’ve lived in relatively urban areas for most of my life and in such environments, you’re just immersed in interesting culture without trying very hard.”

“I find humans endlessly fascinating (and weird), and along that line I’m interested in the little worlds they/we create through fashion, decor, and culture more broadly,” she added. “I’m constantly cataloging all of this visual information in my head, or sometimes jotting notes down on my phone to refer back to if I just feel like doodling but am not sure where to start.”

“For me, I’m tripping over inspiration daily. Sometimes it’s the bolt-of-lightning type, but most of the time it’s more like ‘I think I’ll draw my funny socks today because I love them,’ and that’s fine, too.”

Growing up in a family of booksellers in Bangkok, Thailand, he has developed an interest in graphic arts and visual communication from an early start.

“I started doing graphic design work through middle school and high school before being introduced to animation in college, which really opened up new possibilities for my work,” he told Creative Mornings. “I always try to keep myself open-minded and see my work as an evolving thing.
