{"title":"By Emanuela Bonaffini","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEmanuela is an illustrator and character design artist from Italy, now based in Montreal. She immigrated to Canada at a young age with the dream of becoming a cartoonist, as Walt Disney movies were all she watched growing up, and opportunities here were much broader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe now creates and illustrates original and whimsical characters in fun or sports-related settings, using her trusty iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. She loves working with soft brushes and colors that replicate the organic feel of pencils on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEmanuela helps her clients bring their visual identities to life through digitally hand-drawn, authentic creations, ranging from original illustrated characters to concept art for character design. She is known for bringing a rough yet polished feel to her designs, helping clients infuse their brands with personality and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen it comes to humor in her work, her main source of inspiration comes from her pets. For more serious-looking projects, she turns to sports—basketball in particular. She was responsible for conceptualizing and creating a mascot for a region participating in the Jeux du Québec, an organization that unites youth across the province through competitive, multidisciplinary sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe also had the pleasure of working with Montreal’s basketball team, the Toundra, who play in the BSL.
