Coulas & Lourdes Inc.
Advertising Photo-Illustration:

Mick Coulas:

Mick began illustrating in 1979.  In 1996 he bought a computer and the paint dried in the colour cup of his airbrush - and it was never used again. His hyper real execution is applied to both straight product photo-illustration and his exaggerated caricature figures and animals.

Candace Lourdes:

Candace has a varied background of design, art direction, illustration, photography and fine art.  She began in 1976 as a paste-up artist. Digital since 1992, her product photography is augmented by Mick’s digital manipulation for advertising clients.
