Welcome to the third issue of
twenty2wo magazine. This time around
I wanted to keep more focused on illus-
trators and am happy to feature some
wonderful talents from around the globe.
Whether it be digital techniques or tradi-
tional methods the art of illustration al-
ways seems to open the imagination to
new worlds. Just a few marks on paper
and a simple line is transformed into a
shape, a figure, a message. Pick up a
pen and make your mark somewhere.

ChristinaK.
has established herself as an interesting new talent. Illustrator, designer, screenprinter,
art director, film lover; a creative mind in general, Christina K. works with a blend of
both traditional and digital mark making techniques the result being striking and sightful
illustrations with subtle narratives and delicate elegiac qualities. The melange of influ-
ences which ignite the creative inspiration behind ChristinaK.’s work have little common
ground other than an obvious energy and a bias towards the hedonistic love of visual
sensation. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is on permanent exhibition
at Cosh galleries in London and has built a client list which includes Ogilvy&Mother,
Saatchi&Saatchi, Mother London, Chanel, Levi’s, La Perla, Ted Baker, Elley Kishimoto,
Burton Snowboards, Bloomingdales, South Coast Plaza, Time Out, Hintmag, Hot Wheels,
Tokion, Vogue, Neo2, Ozon, Colophon, Nico, amongst others.

few. Oliver sent us some beautiful illustrations and some words about his work.
Currently, as an artist, I am always intrigued by different mediums of the past, present and
future. Everyday, I dedicate my life in search of inspirations, motivations and influences
that can make me a better artist. I have discovered that American history has a lot of influ-
ential pioneers in the art world. My admiration of the American Illustration masters like
Howard Pyle, Norman Rockwell, and N.C. Wyeth, and many more, who were pioneers in
their time, have inspired me through my arts. In my illustration process I learned to take
an actual personal experience and translate it into my own artistic language. I was very
pleased with my work during my education at Ringling and believe this is a great starting
point to my career as an editorial illustrator.
I hope that my artistic inner voice and education, and continuing self education will lead
me to become one of the great masters of my time. I will continue to research and dedicate
my future to my personal legend as an artist and most importantly illustrator.
My mixed media work is an investigation of technique. I love working in layers and building up colors and
textures. Lately I’ve been obsessed by pattern and repetition, so the art has become increasingly detailed. Rec-
ognizable forms are usually present, referencing the natural and scientific world. I’m inspired by the beauty and
complexity of our universe, and man’s attempt to figure it all out.
