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
