Cyprus Comic Con welcomes back the talented 3D artist Claudia Ilona Moussoulos to this year’s  Artists’ Alley!

Claudia a.k.a. Claud was born in Cyprus in 1993. Her journey with art started ever since she can remember. In October 2009, she had her 1st painting exhibition opening called ‘The First Step’ at the age of 16. She later went for a summer course in Milan at ‘Nuova Accademia Di Belle Arti’ to learn the art of ‘Stop-Motion’ and later went to Bournemouth, U.K. to study Computer Visualization and Animation.

She is now a freelancer, that foremost deals with 3D Modelling and Concept Art. As CG Generalist she also worked closely with the teams in the gaming industry. As a passionate gamer and artist, she was always driven to create and had long hoped for the opportunity to be on the creative side of gaming, so that she can exercise her creativity in a positive environment. In her free time she likes to play games (obviously).

During the course of the past 4 years Claudia and her partner, S.P. (Savvas P.)a talented musician, decided to combine creative forces. They decided to transform the world and stories within the music into comic book form. She creates the art work, while S.P. does the writing. S.P. will accompany her at her booth, where they will both be signing their material and this year at CCC releasing new comics!

Cyprus Comic Con is excited to announce the return of Anna Cosma to CCC19 Artists’ Alley!

Anna was born and raised in Nicosia. Art and specifically illustration has been a prominent part of her life since childhood. She learned how to draw through trial and error, although after receiving academic training under the guidance of a reputable art school in Nicosia, she began to refine her skills and develop a style that it is her goal to master.

Anna is heavily influenced by tattoo culture and illustration, something which led her to learning the art of tattooing. She has been tattooing since the beginning of 2018, and her art style has evolved along with her tattoos. In both illustration and tattooing Anna has specialised in dot-work, with subjects ranging from illustrative monsters to geometric mandalas, and more recently pop culture portraits. She works almost exclusively in black ink. Alongside tattooing she has been involved in art shows and festivals around Cyprus, selling printed t-shirts and prints of her artwork. Other than tattooing, her goals for this year include creating a tattoo-inspired clothing brand for her art, with select dot-work pieces that represent her art style.
