| Josee Bisaillon | info@joseebisaillon.com | Bio | Josée Bisaillon grew up in St-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Rather than follow in her father's footsteps as a veterinary surgeon, she chose to cut animals from paper: they were colorful, low maintenance and always in fine health. Today her illustrations, a mixture of collage, drawings and digital montage, take us into a world so richly detailed and multidimensional that you'd hardly think it all came out of only one person's imagination.
When not making pictures, Josée enjoys knitting socks for her young daughter Charlotte and is touring the world as a virtual Rock Band guitarist.
Bisaillon's has won many Applied Arts Illustration Award and LUX Illustration Awards in Québec, and was a finalist for the 2008 Governor General's Literary Awards in Canada. |

| srnoble | steve@stevennoble.com | Bio | Known all around the world as the most prolific and versatile scratchboard artist in the commercial art world for over 18 years, Steven Noble has created a style around the scratchboard medium that encompasses a wide range of detail and style. Over the years, he has become equally adept in the woodcut, pen and ink, traditional engraving and steel engraving styles, as well as a variety of stylized scratchboard techniques. His highly disciplined and complex line work is based on over 15 years of experience using X-Acto precision knives carved into pre-inked clay boards which generate very fine line strokes which allow a versatility in the detail from bold woodcuts to very fine traditional 19 century steel engravings.Over the course of his career, he has created many nationally recognized logos and ad campaigns for a large list of prestigious and high caliber clients such as Coors (corporate/packaging logo), Exxon-Mobil (stock certificate), JP Morgan (annual report) and Mercedes-Benz (ad campaigns). A lot of his expertise encompasses a large volume of subject matter that include food, portraits, animals, maps, architecture, and corporate conceptual images. In 2001, he won the "Meade Show Award for Excellence" for creating the best corporate conceptual illustration for an annual report for the Wet Seal's 2001 Annual Report. In addition, in 1996 his work was recognized in the Communication Art Magazine for the best advertising spot for "Beaulieu Vineyards." Steven continues to strive for excellence in his work and is always up for the next challenge. One of his last projects was a series of illustrations for the acclaimed Children's book "Zathura" which came out (Fall 2005) at the same time as the release of the movie "Zathura". You can see more samples in the Workbook, Black Book, and Directory of Illustration. For a comprehensive sampling of over 2500 images of Steven Noble's work go to: www.stevennoble.com. |
