Cover art for Ivan, Boris and Me by Nynke Tynagel

Nynke Tynagel, a renowned Dutch graphic artist, brings her bold, expressive, and iconographic style to the cover of Ivan, Boris and Me. With a background rooted in modernist design and graphic art, Nynke studied at the prestigious Eindhoven Design Academy and spent over 20 years as a co-owner of Studio Job, a globally influential design collective. Now working as an autonomous artist, her work spans a variety of mediums, including stained glass, ceramics, and textiles, blending heraldic and pop-cartoonish imagery with rich narrative depth.

Nynke's ornamented artwork, containing dark and satirical content, offers a brave confrontation with the current attitudes and condition of the modern world. This quality aligns beautifully with the themes and characters of Ivan, Boris and Me. Elodie and Boris, with their complex dynamics and lively whimsy, resonate deeply with Nynke's artistic perspective. For this reason, we loved collaborating with Nynke for this project, and her exceptional work has brought the book's cover to life.

Cover art for Yonah and Devorah's Traveling Music Theater by Jonathan Benitez

Jonathan Benitez, an acclaimed contemporary artist from Palawan (Philippines), is celebrated for his mastery of mixed media and his ability to create richly layered works that explore impermanence and harmony within chaos. His artistic journey began with a deep connection to nature and humanity, reflected in his textured compositions that often merge acrylics, watercolors, and collage techniques. With exhibitions spanning the Philippines and international galleries, Jonathan has established himself as a thought-provoking artist whose works bridge complexity and meaning.

Jonathan’s approach aligns beautifully with the high-flying, chaotic energy of Yonah and Devorah's Traveling Music Theater. The book’s unpredictable narrative resonates deeply with Jonathan’s vision of art as a bridge between complexity and meaning, and an attempt to harmonize chaos. We loved working with Jonathan on this project, as his dynamic textures and bold imagination bring Yonah and Devorah’s world vividly to life.
