Hello!

My name is Andres Colimedaglia, AKA Yanzo.

I am a graphic designer and Illustrator based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I get inspired by people, old photographs, charming cities, vintage objects, great classic books, and I think It’s not necessary to mention that the nautical atmosphere is one of my favorites themes.
I enjoy children picture books as much as reading (and sometimes writing) fantastic and creepy stories.

These are some of my favorites illustrators:

Miroslav Šašek, Edward Gorey, Jon Klassen, Julia Sarda, McBess, Victoria Semykina, Owen Davey, Tom Gauld, Chris Sickels, Brian Rea, Yasmin Imamura

And these are some of my favorites writers:

Edgar Allan Poe, William H. Hodgson, H. P. Lovecraft, Jules Verne, Jack London.

MY PROCESS:

I am mainly a digital illustrator.
Once the main concept is defined, I begin my process by getting the idea down on paper with pencil or pen. Then I digitize the sketch to use it as a guide for the final illustration.
My work is not defined by outlines, instead, color, shapes, shades and textures bring my illustrations to life.
I work on a MacBook Air with Adobe Photoshop and my Wacom Intuos.

MY WORKSPACE:

My studio is located in my home, and is shared with my girlfriend (and mother of our little son), who is also a graphic designer.
There I spend a lot of hours doing illustrations for Yanzo, and both working for a common brand that we have been developing since 2013: Vincent Cousteau.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY WORK.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
