I'm Yoss, a children's book illustrator based in Costa Rica.
I studied a BA in Digital Animation at Veritas University (Costa Rica, 2017); followed by a Masters degree in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin (England, 2020).
Drawing inspiration from movies, old pictures, nature and the "slice of life" genre, my artwork is mainly digital, characterized by vibrant and colourful palettes with a strong sense of design.
I co-founded an independent publishing house in Costa Rica called Pulpo Press, alongside my husband, graphic novelist Edo Brenes. We publish illustrated books in spanish, such as graphic novels, comics, children books, activity books and printed art (digital, screenprints and risos)
I spend most of my time working in the studio on various projects at the time, but once in a while I also like to go out and explore the world.
