CATH LOVE (@CATHLOVEROSATWO)
The Hong Kong-based artist’scurvaceous Jeliboo characteris more than just a cutesy cartoon doing yoga poses. Describing it as embodying “whispers of hip-hop”, her work calls into question body image issues and challenges archaic female stereotypes.

ANNA LAURINI (@ANNALAURINIBLUE)
Milan-born Laurini made waves in the graffiti scene when she started painting five years ago. Her signature Picasso and Matisse-inspired artwork (it first appeared in the alleys of East London) has since led to collaborations with British shoe brand Rupert Sanderson and Japanese label Black by Moussy.
