To illustrate is to combine several verbs, such as explain, represent, interpret, illustrate, decorate and imagine. The illustrator can be a reality communicator or a creator of imaginary worlds. It all depends on the role given to illustration: a communication media complementary to journalism or advertising, that helps to clarify contents, or a visual artistic concept that lives for itself.
With the new technologies, illustration expanded its limits and became a visual discipline, more and more experimental and dynamic. Its communication supports are many - beyond paper, today illustration easily appears in a 3D animation movie, in a smartphone app or even in a wall in our houses.
We invited three successful illustrators to talk about their projects and explain where they find their inspiration, what techniques do they use, what’s their motivation and what message do they wish to communicate.

If life is a catwalk, run like a dog.
Nowhere Near Here is a stop motion animation that uses a combination of light with stencils and long exposure photography to tell the story of a dog running around the city at night, doing whatever a dog does. The animation was first exhibited at the The Herbert, in Coventry, on the 7th October 2010.
Pahnl: "With well over 300 hours in the making, more than 200 stencils involved and too many cold nights spent outside on my knees getting the shots, I am very happy (and relieved) to finally share this with you. Through the course of shooting 'Nowhere Near Here', I have dealt with curious drunks, a dog almost peeing on the camera (the irony is not lost on me, haha), the endlessly suspicious police and even someone nearly running off with a tripod."
