The works from her latest Book project 
“Where Shooting Stars Land”
are reminiscent of the imaginative vision of Chris Van Allsburg.

ABOUT 

Rebecca Santo is from Cleveland, Ohio & a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art with a BFA in Illustration. Aside from storytelling, She loves exploring new places, sketching in local cafes, and getting lost in my thoughts. She explains,"I am in love with all things old-fashioned; from fashion, to architecture, to any music more than 40 years old. As a proud daydreamer, my work often reflects anything from whimsical fairytales to capturing the beauty of simple everyday curiosities; whatever allows viewers to fall into the warmth of nostalgia or run free in their imaginations. My favorite method of storytelling, however, is finding the perfect way to visually blend the familiarity of reality and a world of fantasy into one. 

“Where Shooting Stars Land” is a series of ten microfiction stories. Every story is completed with one sentence of narrative, paired with one illustration. With this, the reader is left with enough information to establish a story, but is left with the question of “what happens next.” Each story contains either a person, place or things I have encountered in vivid recurring dreams I used to have throughout my childhood.

ABOUT 

Chamo first studied textiles, then illustration at the Duperré School of Applied Arts in Paris.  She then went to live a few years in Berlin, where she studied visual communication at the Kunsthochschule-Berlin Weissensee.  In 2005, back in Paris, she devoted herself to illustration, represented by the agency Illustrissimo. She produces album covers, theater or concert posters, flyers, and numerous illustrations for the French and international press (Magazines for youth at Bayard and Milan, Los Angeles Magazine, Glow, Nobrow, etc.).  She is also the author of children's books including "ABCD Signes" by Thierry Magnier and "Bon anniversaire Princesse" by Editions Gallimard Jeunesse.  In 2006, she founded L’Articho, an association dedicated to drawing and illustration which she directs with her accomplice Yassine. The idea is to create living events around the image: exhibitions, publications, evenings, market, meetings ... L'Articho notably publishes a biennial review "Les cahiers de L'Articho" (4 issues to date) .  Chamo has also recently started working as collection director for the children's publishing house "Les fourmis rouges", directed by Valérie Cussaguet. 

 

THANK YOU CHAMO for the beautiful works!
