Gina Rosas Moncada for m-drogerie markt

Colombian artist Gina has developed a full illustration system for dm-drogerie markt’s Spring 2026 campaign, Garden of Transformation, displayed across more than 2,000 stores nationwide in Germany.

The commission forms part of dm’s rotating artist programme, which invites a different illustrator every four months to reinterpret the brand’s visual identity at scale - Gina is the first Latin American artist selected for the series, extending its cultural and visual range.

Her concept transforms everyday retail environments into living ecosystems, where objects and beauty spaces evolve into organic, blooming forms. The campaign spans storefront façades, posters, postcards, shopping bags, and in-store applications, running until 26 June 2026 and unifying dm’s seasonal presence through a cohesive illustrated world.

Gina says, "Working on this project alongside the design team and my agent has been a deeply enriching journey. Being able to combine analog and digital techniques and to contribute ideas that were ultimately considered for a brand of this scale, has been incredibly rewarding. This commission brings together many of the things I love both as an illustrator and as a person. I hope that those who encounter it feel energized by the colors, uplifted by the visuals, and carry with them a sense of joy and positive energy."

STEVE MAY’S COMIC STRIP FOR GRENFELL

Steve May brings his trademark warmth and energy to one of his most meaningful commissions to date, a comic strip, honouring the ongoing work of those supporting adults and children affected by the Grenfell Fire.

Created for the Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service, the project began with a two-hour workshop in which Steve worked alongside the community, adults and children together - to find the right way to tell this story. Ideas emerged naturally, including one from a boy who shared a vivid dream about being chased by goblins. That image became the beating heart of the strip: a haunted house filled with emotion monsters - fear, anger, anxiety, trauma, faced down by a young girl hero named Emily, guided through each challenge by Grenfell workers represented as green hearts. The finale sees an art therapist literally paint a door to freedom: a sun-filled green field, a carnival, and everyone reunited.

The result is a piece of illustration with genuine purpose - bold and adventurous in style, yet deeply rooted in the real experiences of the community it celebrates.

Sam Chivers – Nautilus Magazine

Illustrating a fictional report from the future, tracing the dramatic journey of science from its turbulent present to a promising new era of innovation.

The concept behind the image was to depict a graveyard of scientific apparatus, from which vibrant, abstract shapes emerge, symbolizing the rebirth and evolution of scientific exploration unbounded by traditional funding structures/dogmatic cultures.

Nautilus is an award-winning, high-brow American science magazine that blends in-depth scientific reporting with storytelling, philosophy, culture, and art. Founded in 2013, its mission is to connect scientific topics to everyday life, exploring one specific monthly theme (e.g., time, consciousness, uncertainty) through comprehensive, long-form essays, interviews, and vivid illustrations.

Jhon Boy for EstarB

Jhon Boy recently created the identity and campaign for EstarB, a psychological and emotional support service for young people aged 12 to 25 launched by the Barcelona City Council.

Design studio Clase said that Jhon Boy's illustrations "capture everyday emotional moments through a simple, warm and inclusive visual language. The scenes focus on dialogue, care and connection, translating complex emotional states into approachable images that resonate with a young audience".

"The campaign extends this visual and verbal dialogue into public space across the streets of Barcelona, where the illustrations become the main vehicle to communicate the service."

Jhon Boy is the alias of Jorge Gallardo, a visual artist from Tenerife, Canary Islands. He tries to understand reality through his work, while creating a dialogue between image and viewer.

The style of his works is minimalist and clean and the most important part of Jhon Boy's process is the concept he can transmit with each scene.

Jhon Boy says: “I have always been fascinated with images, the impact they make in our lives is absolutely punishing. I prefer to create some kind scenes and exchange a dialogue between the image and the viewer, reducing everything to human values. On the other hand, my work can be understood in a lot of different ways, I prefer to let people think or see whatever they want to.”

Check out another of Jhon Boy's recent projects, creating gifs of analog crafts for It's Nice That.
