Skipping, hopping and dancing around the whimsical line between grown up and childlike, Elisa is the creator of some very beautiful characters, which communicate through their colour, shape, flowing line and embellishment. Elisa’s work has been published and exhibited throughout Australia. Her intricate and haunting drawings of beautiful ‘ladies’ as she calls them, revel an interesting mixture between detailed hand drawn features and soft-edged watercolours.

Bio:
Australian born Illustrator Elisa Mazzone’s latest illustrations series, exploring the female form through careful choices in colour, shape, flowing line and embellishment. Elisa’s ‘ladies’, as they are affectionately known, are the cornerstone of artistic leanings that may or may not have manifested in reaction to a little girl growing up with plenty of brothers.

As a stylist, graphic designer, illustrator and avid fan of all things beautiful, Elisa has spent years working with people to create gorgeous visual landscapes and keepsakes, weaving mediums together with allegorical needle and thread.


Elisa's work has enchanted audiences throughout Australia, through various exhibitions and magazines such as Madison, Yen and Desktop, through clients such as Mambo as well as gracing covers of inimitable Hallmark cards in the UK. She was also recently selected as one of three finalists to become South Australian Young Artist of the Year.

Bio:
Jason Brooks was born in London on February 23rd 1969. He grew up in Brighton and began drawing and painting at an unusually young age receiving his first freelance commissions in his early teens. Brooks studied Graphic Design at St Martin’s College, where he began working regularly for British Vogue after winning the Vogue Sotheby’s Cecil Beaton Award for Fashion Illustration. He began travelling widely while at St Martin’s, travel has been a recurrent theme in his work and his adventures continue to inspire and inform his visual repertoire.   Brooks landed a series of assignments drawing at the Couture shows in Paris for the Independent Newspaper. He has since filed numerous visual reports from the shows in New York for Visionaire and London Fashion Week for Elle. Brooks’ artwork has also provided the visual identity for record labels, most notable Hedkandi, who have achieved sales in excess of 5 million albums featuring his artwork.
Brooks has become one of the world’s leading exponents of fashion illustration. He is noted in particular as being one of the first artists to embrace and popularise computer technology in his field. The glamorous and aspirational world of the imagination he presents in his work has proven to be an ideal vehicle to promote a wide range of luxury and lifestyle brands, as well as establishing a distinctive visual language all of his own that has lead him to begin developing his own brand.
Each year he completes a range of commissions and collaborative projects for clients around the world, and welcomes the experience of working with companies, art directors and individuals who share his energy, sense of style and creative spirit.
