THE NEXT LEVEL
Wacom's vision to bring people and technology closer together through natural interface technologies. Just Another is about creating a visual and visceral experience through artists and events.
Together, for the fourth year running, we plan to create a publication and event featuring designs created by artists across the globe. There will be six feature artists selected who will be featured in both the event and publication. We also run a global, online competition to source the remaining images for the publication and event.
This limited edition publication will be available at the events, allowing the general public to learn more about Wacom products and the artists that use them.
Unlike others of their kind JA is a creative management agency operating solely outside the box with a focus and passion for creating a visual and visceral experience with everything they put their brand too, covering not only the scope of artist representation but also curation, event management, publication and apparel. All with that seemingly effortless style and standard that we have come to expect from the industry powerhouse that is Just Another.

Her creative process is based on the search for identity, using all kinds of techniques: watercolor, ink, acrylic, screen printing. The strength of her illustrations comes from the use of white and black, sometimes adding some color that implies her mood at that time or a phrase that complements the image.
