Magnet Reps is happy to announce that Ana Bagayan, Andrew Hem, Bella Pilar, Emiliano Ponzi, Marguerite Sauvage, Nate Williams and Raquel Aparicio have artwork in Illusive 3 (Gestalten Verlag). The book features over 200 illustrators scouted from around the globe and includes everything from fashion illustration to figurative painting, material application and deconstruction and collage.

Papyrus has just released four adorable figurines inspired by Bella Pilar’s best-loved Papyrus cards. Each limited edition figurine is hand-numbered, covered in glitter and comes in it’s own coordinating gift box. They’re only available in Papyrus stores so click here to find a location.

Graham Roumieu illustrated the cover of The Dreaded Feast: Writers on Enduring the Holidays (Harry N. Abrams). The book “deflates the notion of the ‘perfect’ holiday season, and allows the reader to commiserate and bask in the glow of a little dark, neurotic, and unflinchingly honest humor” from the likes of Charles Bukowski, David Sedaris, Hunter S. Thompson and John Waters. Just in time for the holidays, it’s available now.

Catalina Estrada’s collaboration with Brazilian fashion brand Anunciacao is featured in Patterns & Applications in Fashion (Evergreen) by Macarena San Mart-N and Angelika Taschen. The book is organized by color and features pattern designers from around the world and their applications, including shirts, skirts, shoes, jackets, trousers and a wide range of accessories. It is available in Spanish and English and comes with a CD.

Catalina Estrada illustrated for Stationery Team‘s Year-Round Fall 09 collection. This is Catalina’s second line for the stationery company. It joins her Back to School 09/10 line which was released earlier this year.
