Black Petals Artists donate their work to enhance the writer's work
and we appreciate their efforts. Here are their bios:
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. View the vivid energy of IVSMA (Darren Blanch)

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.” A. F. Knott is a self-taught collage artist focused
on book layout and book cover design as well
networking in conjunction with Hekate
Publishing, one of its missions, bringing together artist and writer.

Union Square Park. Work can be found on flickr.com/photos/afknott/ Any

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 mad_hatters_mania.
