Welcome to the biggest rhineland festival of illustration to date!!

Wether you're illustrator, art lover or creative professional, make sure to drop by, it's a fine opportunity to meet artists and chat about their work.
Boris Servais talks about the phenomenon of "alternative illustration" on Saturday, 16h. The example of three contemporary artists, Henrik Drescher, Benoît Jacques and Barron Storey, offers insights in their unique working techniques in the scene of independent illustration.
