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
