“The most of the most was Lil’Lamb. The challenge was to design not only the package but also the product. A detergent for newborns I was supposed to invent had to be one I would buy for my own child. There were no ideal products on the market, but I found a recipe for Marselle soap, composed of three natural...

Tsubaki Studio — Jay Lim, Vivian Toh — Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Perrine Honore — Barcelona, Spain
“I use a similar process on paper as on the wall. I paint with acrylic paint, the style and colour palette is pretty much the same. I would say that the biggest difference is the amplification of the drawing. I do not usually use a particular method; sometimes I make a grid, but mostly I draw straight onto the wall,...
Vanya Dudchenko — Kiev, Ukraine
“I love working with large formats and monumental forms. When working with a large format, I try to create maximum expression with simple shapes and combinations. When creating a colour palette, I start from the entourage of the drawing I have outlined and the idea that it shows. It is important to integrate your work appropriately into the city’s exterior.In...
Ju Schnee — Berlin, Germany
“If it’s work for clients, sometimes the available budget gets in my way. Often my ideas are over budget and I have a hard time simplifying them and taking a step back at the expense of the idea.When it comes to private work, it’s often time that gets in my way. Nowadays we are used to seeing new work very...
NeSpoon — Warsaw, Poland
“The differences are technical, but the motifs I paint and the joy in creating them are the same. My works on paper are mostly screen-printing.

“While I’m painting on the paper drafts of new murals, my brain is already building architecture, walls around it to see the whole picture.While working on paper, I’m starting from an idea and trying to find the proper place, shape and location for implementation. Working on a wall, in most cases environment and architecture are an extra source to refine...
Joel Derksen — Amsterdam, Netherlands / London, UK
“The biggest difference is your relationship to the space. If you’re starting with a flat piece of paper going directly to the wall, you miss the opportunities of the space. Ideally, I want to walk through the space and understand the light, how people move through the architecture and, most of all, the possibilities. You could see a wall as if...
