Shane Gillis portrait by Alejandro Milà

Shane Gillis is one of the best comedians today, and although he’s a bit far from me, I look forward to the day I can go see a live show and laugh in person, not just through a screen.

The comedians I connect with the most and admire are those who dance on the edge of humor’s boundaries.

During these months when I haven’t stopped working, one needs to unwind, and laughing is one of the most effective ways to release all the stress that builds up. This drawing tribute is my way of thanking him.

When I started drawing professionally, one of the things I struggled with—and still find a bit challenging, though less so—was doing caricatures of people. I’ve always envied those great illustrators and artists who take one look at your face and, with a few exaggerated strokes, manage to nail the portrait perfectly.

God didn’t lead me down the path of caricature, but every now and then I like to practice to refine my style and, in the process, pay tribute to the figures I admire most.

In a world where stock illustrations and AI-generated images often feel repetitive and lifeless, brands need something unique to truly stand out. That’s where we come in—offering fresh ideas and distinct styles tailored to each project.

Sometimes, a client needs an illustrator to follow an existing style. But even within those boundaries, there’s always room to create something special that enhances their brand.

🚀 Loved working on this set, and we’re ready for the next challenge! If you’re looking for custom illustrations that elevate your brand drop me a line. 

Illustration of a charming English village map for Oxford University Press by Alejandro Milà

One of our latest illustrations for Oxford University Press was a charming English village, designed to help language learners master prepositions of place such as "next to, in front of, across from, opposite", etc.

One of the things I like most when we do illustrations for books is to use very positive colors looking for a balance so that the illustration is not saturated but provides a point of color for the student to break with the monotony of the classes and identify all the concepts while having fun in every detail.

If your company needs illustrations or animations to make your content more captivating and engaging, we can talk about your project and later provide you with a plan of action.
