Featuring

French is an already well-known illustrator based in London. He has skilfully managed to combine the three things he loves most in his life and make them into a career: Drawing, Heavy Metal and Skateboarding. His highly detailed drawings of Goat-headed axe-wielding maniacs and dead black metal singers have earned French shows all over the world including, most recently at Giant Robot in L.A. Woo!

David Galletly is an illustrator and Graphic designer currently based in Stirling. He adorns pieces of cardboard with beautiful little one liners and freaky looking people. Like a half-remembered nightmare from your childhood. He just got back from a solo show in Philadelphia and we are stoked to have him on board for this show.

Simen Helsvig is a conceptual, time-based drawer who once re-wrote an entire book in pencil only to rub it all out and display those rubbings. When he not working as a Prison Guard in Oslo, Norway Simen mostly spends his time covering entire pages in millions of tiny hand-drawn dots. Check out: www.simenhelsvig.com

Salome Oggenfuss is an outsider with an insiders view. Originally from Switzerland she’s currently slumming it in New York since graduating from the Glasgow School of Art last year. Salome has received a lot of attention for her absurdist Brautigan-esgue poetry and sublime photographs from America’s Wasteland. It’s a pleasure to have her, but who knows what she’ll turn up with.

Anna Peaker is an illustrator, designer and sometimes printmaker based in Leeds. She likes pattern, shape, repetition and weirdo graphics. Giant colourful kitties, psychedelic skulls and a love for bad horror movies seem to be her bag right now.
