Not everyone is comfortable with words, some people are able to fully express themselves with music, others with images. For this reason, we have decided to start this new format: we give 5 inputs to some of the illustrators we like most and ask them to respond through drawings.

Parapaboom is the creative alter ego of Italian born illustrator Vanessa Branchi. She now lives between Uk and Italy but started her career as a graphic designer in London before moving to Berlin. Her work has been featured in global editorial publications as well as digital based platforms.
