Alexander Verhille has travelled the world having been influenced by the world of Kerouac, London and Hugo Pratt.  He regularly collaborates with international papers and magazines, making illustrating maps.  When he’s not making maps, Alexandre plans trips around the world and illustrates children's book or travel books.  Sarah Tavernier is an illustrator in the domains of architecture, mural, illustration and design.  She loves maps and cartography and works in L'Atelier Cartographik.  She is also a paper engineer, masterminding and creating pop up graphics for children's books.
