David Machado was born in Lisbon in 1978. He is the author of the novel "The Giant’s Theatre of Fantasy" and a book of short stories, "Possible Stories". In 2005 his children's story "The Night of the Invented Animals" received the Branquinho da Fonseca Prize awarded by of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the weekly Expresso.

Gonçalo Viana was born in Lisbon. He studied architecture and moved to London, where he worked at a practice for a few years. Illustration had always been his first love though, and back to Lisbon he left architecture and soon started work as a freelance illustrator. Geometry did find a way to seep back in, providing a frame for his smart concepts, strong colors and textures. Gonçalo likes nothing more than to translate complex ideas into simple and engaging images. His conceptual approach has garnered recognition from Communication Arts, The Society for News Design, 3x3 Magazine, Creative Quarterly and Luerzer’s Archive "200 Best Illustrators Worldwide". When not doing editorial or advertising work Gonçalo likes to illustrate children's books.
