Sebastian Cestaro is a Buenos Aires-based illustrator and visual artist. We often come across abstract elements and figures in his works. Sebastian Cestaro’s style has a surreal side with a colorful cartoon-like color palette, abstract faces, and big eyes that he uses as a repetitive design element in most of his works also we can call them his signature. He told Its Nice That that “I use a lot of eyes because I find that they bring my illustrations to life. My characters like to look around. They are attentive.”
In the same interview with Its Nice That, he explains that he has been interested in cartoons since his childhood: “I was a big fan of Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and other cartoons of that style. They definitely left their mark on me. I think it was around that time I started to admire illustration as an art form.”
The artist has collaborated with many brands such as The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Zeit, VICE, Wired, HP, Medium, Victory Journal, The Baffler.
Our interview series’ first guest is Kenichi Kuromaru. We love hearing their stories because there is no definitive, single way to be a successful designer.
Paris-based illustrator Jiayi Li has a pure, glowing aesthetic. Airbrush vibes, anime aesthetic, humorous fruit sexuality can be seen in Jiayi Li’s works. Misty and glaring lights, gradients, details of reflection, and highlights are the most powerful characteristics of the illustrator’s work.
