sisters from Italy, both illustrators who studied in Milan. their style is very colorful, simple and whimsical. though my own love of Jane Austen is how i found them, they have created a little interactive map of 2 of Austen's work (Pride and Prejudice & Sense and Sensibility) and now even a game you can download though itunes. now with their own studio they are focusing on illustration, publicity and some merchandise.
