Melvin Galapon – Uniqlo – Future Now

Melvin Galalpon designed a T-shirt for Uniqlo’s pop-up shop at Tate Modern

The design is inspired by a mix of pixels, old technologies such as CRT televisions, sci-Fi files and 80/90’s video games. The piece tries to capture this playfulness while also trying to transport one to the future.

Lisa Sheehan – Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre – Pinocchio production

Lisa was commissioned by the theatre to create an illustration to promote its Christmas 2025 production of Pinocchio.

The illustration was created by Lisa using a combination of her own hand drawing and her CG skills. The piece is designed to look like a paper-engineered vintage toy theatre. The illustration was also animated by Lisa and the imagery is being used across multiple types of media.

Andreea Dumuta – Love at First Bite

This personal piece draws from vintage horror posters, baroque ornamentation, and mid-century pulp covers.

Andreea writes that “the style of this piece sits somewhere between ecclesiastical and camp, using saturated jewel tones and textured halftones to evoke an aged, print like feel. It’s a love letter to old horror and the beauty of excess. The series as a whole is blending vintage design and surreal humour with a modern twist. I love bold shapes, grainy textures, and that perfectly imperfect print look”.
