Loukia Chrysafi

We want to welcome Loukia Chrysafi to this year’s Artists’ Alley!

Loukia is mostly self taught, though she had a fellow artist teach her several techniques she was interested in the past and she took on a visual communication and illustration course in university. Though still experimenting on styles and techniques, Loukia enjoys more natural themes, but she likes implementing fantastical details in her work. She feel heavily influenced by east asiatic cultures in terms of themes used in literature and art in general. The traditional Chinese and Japanese ink painting and calligraphy interests her a lot however, she hasn’t got the chance yet to study their techniques up close. It is definitely something she looks forward to doing in the future. She has never really thought about making a living through her art, but it’s just something she really enjoys doing and likes devoting time to develop and experiment further.

Visit Loukia’s Instagram to see more of her artwork!

Cyprus Comic Con wants to welcome Mister S (Michael Drakos) to its Artists’ Alley!

Mike aka Mister S is an illustrator and graphic designer, born, raised and based in the beautiful city of Limassol, Cyprus. He has studied Graphic Design and he has been a proud member of ‘2C Design Box’, a creative multi-space located in Limassol, since his graduation.
He is in love with good design and his passion is to draw illustrations of any kind, but most of all, funky characters. When he creates on paper he likes to combine pencil with black ink, no colour, but when it comes to digital he mostly uses funky, vibrant colours along with black shadows to achieve a high contrast result. His style is influenced from the graffiti culture, since he has been spray painting for many years. Also  another big influence is the graphic design ‘world’, therefore anyone can notice in his illustrations some elements are more graphic.
If you want to see more of Mike’s art, you can follow him on Instagram!
