Austin is a freelance illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany. He was born and raised in Brazil (with a Chinese background) and has always been fascinated by pizza, horror movies, picture books, and the narrative power of illustration. Auston holds a degree in social communication but has been working as a freelance illustrator for the last ten years with great clients such as Penguin Random House, Faber-Castell, Domestika, Pepsico, Unilever, Avon, Storytime Magazine, and almost all Brazilian publishers. His style is cartoon-like, colorful, full of storytelling, expression, pop, and classic references – all with a dash of humor. Auston has worked on projects such as books, magazines, advertising, websites, games, animations, educational projects, or anything that sounds fun.
