Chris Miller (aka RapscallionArt) is a passionate illustrator with over 5 years of experience creating beautiful and engaging designs. Chris was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is now based in Brooklyn, New York. His work is inspired by his love of movies and entertainment culture. He began his illustration career around portraiture before evolving into creating alternative movie posters. This led Chris to work with Hero Complex Gallery, AMP, and recently Printed in Blood.

Juan Ramos, hailing from the vibrant landscapes of Puerto Rico, nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, brings forth a profound passion for vibrancy, audacity, and a kaleidoscope of colours that mirror his diverse heritage, rooted in African, Native Indian, and Spanish ancestry. With each stroke of his artistic expression, Juan endeavours to weave compelling narratives through imagery. His journey into the realm of art commenced from the moment he could blend hues together. This early fascination with design propelled him to pursue education at Puerto Rico's Visual Arts High School, ultimately culminating in the attainment of Juan’s Bachelor's degree in Digital Design. Fueling Juan's artistic endeavours is an unwavering love for Film and Pop Culture, serving as the dynamic catalyst propelling each of his projects forward.
