It's hard to imagine a world where books don't exist. Despite what seems to be a digital-heavy focus in response to the increasing desire for instant gratification, it remains unlikely that the world of publishing will ever truly abandon tangible productions of their offerings. If you ask illustrator Vladimir Zimakov - the man behind Penguin and Random House's cover projects for classics like Melville's "Moby Dick" and Gogol's "Diary of a Madman" - he'll probably agree with that statement.

Hellovon is run by london based illustrator Von. His work is heavily influenced by the world of music, fashion and design which is executed with a seamless blend of tradional and digital mark making techniques. The result being striking and insightful illustrations with subtle narratives and a delicate and ethereal quality.

Since establishing Hellovon at the start of 2006 his work has been exhibited Internationally, is on permanent exhibition at both Stolen Space and Cosh Galleries in London, and has built a client list which includes ogilvy and mather, SFR, Dazed and Confused, Wallpaper, New York Times, The Guardian and Serum vs Venom amoung many others.
