Illustrator and writer

I’m Annie Zyg, artist and writer. I’m one of the original collaborators who set up editartz (formerly editArt) with Irene in mid-summer 2019.

We created Irene’s artist vision for a FB group in one week and since then, we’ve worked together to brainstorm ideas each month for our growing followers. It’s been exciting to be part of this project.

I have been a graphic designer for 16 years and I have more recently transitioned into illustration. I enjoy sharing my love of art with others through teaching and I absolutely love getting to connect with other artists around the world!

Selma Cardoso
Selma Cardoso
Illustrator and pattern designer

Hi, I’m Selma, a designer and illustrator very happy to help out on Editartz!

Art, design, architecture, cinema and popcorn lover, that’s what defines me the most. I’m fascinated by colours, forms, patterns and textures since I remember, something related with my parents having a local fashion shop.

I’ve started working as graphic designer but three newly born nephews took me to the illustration whimsical world. More recently I’ve been exploring the pattern design wonderlands.

Hello! I'm Audrey and I help out with the social media on Editartz.

I am an illustrator based in Lyon, France. I love Editartz monthly challenges!

Thanks to Editartz I met some new friends who have been some great help to build and grow my portfolio, with very interesting feedback. It is priceless when you work alone. It is pleasant to hear your family saying that you have a great talent but they aren't actually always objective, right?!

I’m so excited to be part of the Editarz team and love seeing how artists interpret the same climate related challenges every month.
