Darren Blanch, Aussie creator of visions which tell
you a tale long after first glimpses have teased your peepers. With early
influence from America's Norman Rockwell to show life as life, Blanch has
branched out mere art form to impact multi-dimensions of color and connotation.
People as people, emotions speaking their greater glory. Visual illusions
expanding the ways and means of any story.
Digital
arts mastery provides what Darren wishes a reader or
viewer to take away in how their own minds are moved. His evocative stylistics
are an ongoing process which sync intrinsically to the expression of the nearby
written or implied word he has been called upon to render.

Keith C.
Walker was born in Leeds in 1939. He studied Ceramics
at Leeds College
of Art and the Royal College of Art. In the late 1960s to early 1970s, he was
Personal Assistant to Eduardo Paolozzi. Keith taught at Hull College of Art and
Leicester Polytechnic, which is now De Montfort University. In 994 he retired
from Academia.
Keith says, “Digital technology
has made and continues to make
big changes to all of our lives: the way we communicate, the way we are monitored,
the way we entertain ourselves, and much, much more.
We now leave a digital footprint wherever
we go, and with
whatever we do.
Do we already have one foot in an
Orwellian world?
My collages are an investigation,
with a small “I,” on the
impact of digital technology and its possibilities.”

If Charles Addams, Edgar Allan Poe, and
Willy Wonka sired a bastard child it would be the fat asthmatic by the name of Michael D. Davis. He has been called warped by dear friends and a freak
by passing strangers. Michael started drawing cartoons when he was ten, and his
skill has improved with his humor, which isn’t saying much. He is for the most
part self-taught, only ever crediting the help of one great high school art
teacher. His art has been shown at his local library for multiple years only
during October due to its macabre nature. If you want to see more of Michael’s
strange, odd, weird, cartoons you can follow him on Instagram at
