A second generation wordsmith, Mike Masilamani is closely associated with advertising, having run a family business for 30 years. Educated at St. Thomas's Prep School, Colombo, and Loyola College, Chennai, he won a scholarship to the Chartered Institute of Marketing, U.K., and was a Sunday School teacher. He is also a short story writer and playwright, with his work being performed in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Chennai, India. He divides his time between Colombo, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Since completing his Masters in communication design at Central St. Martins, Matthew Frame's practice has focused on how illustration can address the issues surrounding social cohesion in the globalized world. Produced from his studio in London, his intricate drawings play with texture and pattern to explore his passion for film, politics, trash culture, and science fiction. He lives in London.
