Catellites, or Septianie Putri (Septi), is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Jakarta, Indonesia. She graduated from the University of the Arts London with an MA in Illustration and Visual Media. In her illustration works, Septi tells stories by anthropomorphizing animals, plants, vintage objects, and food. Her curious, living and breathing creatures inhabit her odd, surreal, fantasy worlds. Most of her works are made in watercolor, gouache, or digital watercolor. Through her illustrations, she creates paraphernalia for curious thinkers who see the world a little differently. In her free time, she enjoys sipping iced coffee, reading (and buying too many books), or chilling with Pretzel the cat.

Mbetand is an artist whose work centers around pen and ink drawing, often using hatching and engraving techniques in black and white. For Mbetand, monochrome feels like the most honest way to tell a story. She is drawn to the challenge of translating a colorful and complex world into black and white images, reducing things to their true essence. Through ink, texture, and contrast, Mbetand hopes to create works that feel sincere and truthful to her own experiences and emotions.

Her artworks often explore themes of solitude, journeys, resilience, and the experience of moving through life independently. Animals, wandering figures, landscapes, and symbolic details frequently appear throughout her work, reflecting feelings of curiosity, longing, uncertainty, and growth. Through detailed linework and thoughtful compositions, Mbetand approaches storytelling in a reflective and personal way, creating visual narratives that leave space for viewers to find their own meaning within them.

"Resatio is a visual artist by day and designer by night, though often it’s vice versa based in Adelaide/Kaurna Yarta, Australia, and originally from Bandung, Indonesia. He assembles GIFs through a mix of collage, drawing, and digital noise. His work thrives on absurd juxtapositions, digital glitches, and the unexpected, turning the familiar into something uncanny yet strangely compelling.

His art has been exhibited in spaces such as Selasar Soenaryo Art Space, Omnispace, National Design Centre Singapore, Superchief Gallery, and Theatre of Digital Art Dubai, as well as in digital showcases with Fakewhale.xyz, FuturaDrops, and Artgumi. He has also participated in numerous international exhibitions across Asia, Europe, and America.

Since 2021, Resatio has explored blockchain-based art on Tezos and Ethereum (he even witnessed the sunset of H=N, a platform that fostered a raw, experimental energy in digital art). All images used in his work come from the public domain; no copyrights were harmed in the making of his art.

His work playfully invites viewers to scratch their heads and wonder what exactly they’re looking at. Some may even find themselves questioning the meaning of life.

And now for something completely different: when not in the studio, he’s probably at a random skatepark doing sketchy slappies and pretending it’s part of the creative process.

Porfirynoir is an independent studio founded by Anis, built as a space to explore and expand her practice across fine art, multiples, and applied mediums. Beginning with ballpoint pen illustration, Anis developed a deep commitment to craftsmanship rooted in her view of the natural world as something living, interconnected, and worth documenting.

That same spirit carries through everything the studio makes. From painting to three-dimensional work, and into collaborations with brands, Porfirynoir brings Anis's organic aesthetic into functional objects and everyday surfaces. Each piece, regardless of format, continues the same ongoing story of nature and the creatures that move within it.

Fivust brings an explosive tone and mood into a distinct, playful style that lives across streets, tattoos, and toys. Raised on comics, manga, and pop culture, his work draws heavily from these influences, reinterpreting familiar subjects through his own lens.

By colliding bold colors, dynamic forms, and unexpected ideas, Fivust creates works that feel alive—infused with nostalgia, memory, and a sense of surprise. Working across various mediums and tools, his practice is driven by an unstoppable energy that continues to evolve in every piece.

Fivust has exhibited internationally and collaborated with brands such as ATMOS, Asics, Converse, VW Japan, Djarum, Disney Plus, and many more.
