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

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
