Back in early 2020, Illustrator @alemercadodraws was awarded the #AOIMidCareerResidency - a unique opportunity to be part of an intensive 4-day Masterclass in Vienna, delivered by illustrator @harrycampbellart and hosted by @atelier_olschinsky.
After much delay (thanks to you-know-what) and uncertainty, the residency finally happened last month! 👏
Alé tells us all about the experience prior and during the trip. Click the link in bio to start reading 👓️
Huge thanks to Alé for his words and drawings, to @atelier_olschinsky for being such patient and kind partners.

Fantastic news! Alé Mercado (@alemercadodraws) is one of 20 illustrators longlisted for the @foliosociety Book Illustration Award 👏✨
Originally from Spain and now based in Ireland, Alé was also selected by us all the way back in early 2020 to do the AOI Mid-Career Residency. After nearly 3 years of pandemic-setbacks and oh so much waiting, we're thrilled to finally see him embark on a 4-day masterclass in Vienna led by Illustrator (and fellow #FolioBIA longlisted) @harrycampbellart, from the 4th til the 7th of August
👁️🗨️ Make sure to follow Alé to continue seeing his fantastic work and adventures abroad!
This opportunity is possible thanks to @atelier_olschinsky, with support from the AOI.
