Mylo Freeman is Dutch/American and grew up in The Hague, Holland. She attended the art academy in Amsterdam and majored in illustration and painting. After graduating she spent several years in New York and had an exhibition with her work at the Drawing Center. Her first book 'Potje!' (Potty!) received the prize for best toddler book of the year right away.
Mylo made around 60 books up till now and the series of princess Arabella is one of her most wellknown books.There are 16 books about Arabella that are published in more than 10 countries. Also there’s an app, a series of dolls and a theatreplay around her character, all in all proving there is a serious demand for books with diversity.
With her books 'On Ladies and bags' and 'On Ladies and jewelry' she tries to reach a slightly older audience with a love for fashion.
In return these books inspired Mylo to do a series of large fashion illustrations, in which experimenting with form and material gives her a great sense of fulfillment and freedom!

‘I like to present the world from my perspective. With only a few lines, I expose the small traits that make us human. Every minute detail is vital to the image as a whole.’
It is almost impossible to suppress a smile at the sight of Gans’ work. With one line she tells a story or an anecdote, inspired by her playful perspective on the mundane. Her work is described as follows: Gans’ work has an impressive light-heartedness to it. With a single, deliberate stroke of a pen she captures the world around her with a remarkable eye for detail. Colour, object, posture; she is able to find the essence of that which she draws, thus reaches the audience directly. Her vitality and cheerfulness jump off the page in both an uplifting and moving experience for the viewer.
Eva is an autodidact. After a year at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam she developed her own style and decided to pursue a career in illustration. Eva draws commissioned pieces for individuals and businesses like logos, illustrations, wall-paintings and greeting cards.

Merel Corduwener (1991) studied Illustration Design at ArtEZ University of the Arts. She graduated in 2013 and immediately started working for leading Dutch newspapers such as de Volkskrant, NRC and Het Parool.
Merel’s illustrations strike a balance between humour and poignant social commentary. She likes to tackle a wide variety of subjects, with human interaction as the focus. She incorporates her fascination with the world around her into her works.
In 2017 Merel was nominated for the European Design Award in the category 'Book and Editorial Illustration'. In 2019, her first book 'Polderpolonaise' was published in both Dutch and English. In 2022 her beautifully illustrated non-fiction book 'Tot over mijn oren in het plastic' (Up to my ears in plastic) written by Daniel Poolen was published and her first picture book 'Het Kijkmeneertje' (Little mister lookaround) with her friend Mira van der Lubbe.
Merel draws and paints all her illustrations with watercolour and finishes them digitally. This mixed-media approach facilitates her detailed and brightly coloured illustrations.

Sieb Posthuma (1960-2014) has left a comprehensive oeuvre that extends to many disciplines, including designs of stamps, costumes and stage settings for theatre. Also, he wrote and illustrated numerous children’s books. His style is characterized by the exuberant use of colour, graphic elements and humour.
Sieb’s work is published in many countries, including USA, Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, France, Spain, Italy, Finland and Portugal. There have been various expositions about his work: in London, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, in the Literatuurmuseum in The Hague, in the Original Art Annual Exhibition in New York. In 2017 Teylers Museum in Haarlem held an exhibition with a selection of his illustrations. In 2018, illustrations from the book Alexander’s thread were included in the exhibition Artist in Books in the Hyundai Museum of Kids, Books and Art in Seoul.
One of Sieb’s most famous creations is Rintje (Rusty), based on his own fox terrier. Besides various picture books, Sieb wrote and illustrated a story about Rintje every week for the Dutch newspaper NRC. Lemming Film and A Private View produced a 52-episodes stop-motion animation series, shown in Netherlands and Belgium.

Sylvia van Ommen studied illustration at the art academy in Zwolle, Netherlands. After graduating in 2001 her first book Drop (sweets/jellybeans) was published, shortly followed by De verrassing (the surprise). Drop won an award for best children’s book in 2003 and in that same year De verrassing was chosen on the longlist for the Gouden Uil (literary price). Both books are translated and published in several countries.
Os and Jo, the characters in Drop, appeared again in the books Mindfulness en andere moderne ongemakken (Mindfulness and other modern discomforts) and in Een succesvol leven, we slepen ons er wel doorheen (A successful life, we muddle through).
Sylvia makes illustrations for (picture) books, interactive design and she writes. She likes to observe and picture the seemingly normal day to day life, discovering the humor and weirdness in small things. Animals in all sorts and sizes are often the main characters in her work.
