Print is dead–is never dead. To publish a book is a bad idea – is a very good idea. To mark the centenary of the 100th edition, the team behind 100for10 at Melville Brand Design has come up with a special special: A 1000-page compendium filled with works and interviews of all 100 artists.
Juan Carlos Polo Chaviano is a Cuban-born designer, illustrator, and NFT artist based in Miami, with over 15 years of experience.
His work is known for its strange, colorful, and highly detailed characters and creatures, blending hand-drawn and digital techniques. He uses illustration as a powerful communication tool in graphic design, posters, cultural events, advertising, and applications in architecture and urban planning.
He has created illustrations for a variety of projects, including interior design, urban interventions, visual environments for hotels and restaurants, as well as children’s books, adult literature, and culinary guides. His style is characterized by meticulous line work, vibrant color palettes, and carefully composed images, often featuring fantastical, multicolored beings. He currently works as a graphic designer and illustrator at Cartel, a creative studio specializing in illustrated branding.
