Bai is a member of the Shenzhen Illustration Association.

Moon is an illustrator and animator from South Korea. She enjoys creating bold visuals united by colorful yet simple shapes.

De Raedt is a Belgian scientific illustrator and graphic designer visualizing the wonders of the natural world. Although working with a graphic tablet, his style pays homage to naturalists of the 19th century.

“Translating my fascination with nature into aesthetic and functional content has always been my greatest passion. As a true believer in visual communication, I aim to connect people towards our precious fauna and flora. Growing up in a family in which exploring nature and observing wildlife was always the focal point of every holiday, I have been sketching nature as long as I can remember,” he said.
