Emmanuel Polanco is back at Colagene! After having dedicated his personal projects in publishing, he returns with an even more sublime portfolio.
Emmanuel Polanco is an author, an illustrator and an artist living in Paris. He works for magazines (Time Magazine, Los Angeles Times…), theatre (Royal Shakespeare Company...) and publishing companies. He had published "Les animaux dans la neige" and "Petite Alice aux merveilles" for Gallimard Jeunesse/Giboulées.

20100 (reads in French "vingt cent", which is not a proper number, but close to the name Vincent) has been drawing ever since he was born... or almost. After 5 years studying at Boulle applied arts school in Paris, he finished his cursus at UQAM (Québec University in Montréal). As a teenager, he was a graffiti artist. He is really passionate about this movement and this technique is perfect for him as well as he enjoys quick, well-done work. His arrival in the rough and storyboard work was natural.

For nearly a year, Oscar Llorens has been testing and enjoying working in a more realistic style; a totally different world, far from his small world of fun characters in line drawing. Check out some of his new personal achievements.

The Colagene experience according to our clients:

In very tight deadlines, at the very last minute, when we think we won’t be able to do it, Colagene finds us someone, somewhere, who is available and has talent. Rapidity and professionalism, it’s what I like about Colagene.
Etienne Goulet, Art Director, Marketel

Working with Colagene is always a pleasure. The illustrators are very talented and the working relationship is very friendly. They deliver on time and they are also able to adapt to every kind of requests. When I commission them to do an illustration work, I’m totally confident!
