Chicago-based illustrator and artist Angelo Dolojan’s compositions explore themes of mundanity and the human condition. Working mostly with graphite, pastel and pencil, Angelo’s gestural lines, shapes and textures, capture characters within their own environments and stories. He has worked with a host of international clients across the fields of editorial, advertising, and publishing. When he is not working, he enjoys navigating busy cities and sitting for hours in coffee shops.
As one of our 2025 Art & Photo Book Award winners we teamed up with Bookmobile to help Angelo turn his project into it’s all very interesting what is happening—a zine featuring drawings created over the course of a year. The work weaves together observation, memory, dreams, documentation, and manifestation into a continuous visual exploration.
If you want the opportunity to publish a book of your own work, we are accepting proposals for books and zines. Apply for our 2026 Art & Photo Book Awards here. You can also check out more from it’s all very interesting what is happening as well as our full interview with Angelo below!
