MELISSA HASLAM
Melissa Haslam graduated with a Bachelor of Computing (Multimedia Technology) from Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. After working in computer graphics for a few years she found herself wanting to push her creative skills further and went back to school to study Visual Arts at RMIT, focusing on painting and drawing.
With an emphasis on narrative theme and a romanticized, escapist view of the world, her paintings are populated by beautiful females in fairytale-like scenarios. Influences include botanical drawings, the pre-raphaelites, japanese illustration and contemporary fashion photography.
MICHAEL PECK
Michael Peck’s artistic practice is concerned with the sensation of disorientation and dislocation that is often felt within the post modern world. Exploring issues regarding the loss of cultural identity, his work particularly focuses on the effects within minority groups and individuals existing on the fringe who are challenged to assimilate within the larger community. The scenes in Michael’s paintings are quiet, the participants are paused as they stand withdrawn, juxtaposed against a dynamic population; they are overwhelmed by mass-culture; one which has been composed from the interaction, assimilation and constant change of subcultures. His work looks at the place of the individual within a pluralistic society where a constant shift of values and beliefs leaves a great uncertainty of belonging.

JOE WEBB
Joe Webb has only one rule: he’s only allowed to use two images/sources to create his collages.
Kate from Russia.
Peony Yip, Hongkong
“I’m Chinese. First language is still English but I’m still horrible in both Chinese and English. I just graduated from college, broke, doing freelance jobs. I’m not smart, not pretty, not sexy, not skinny, not sweet. I’m not here to tell you how passionate I am about drawing or my love for art or how much I want to open my own gallery and such. I’m just glad people like the stuff I make but I’m just an amateur who has millions of years of improving to do. I thank everyone who has given me permission to use their lovely photos as references! They’re truly a blessing and has beyond helped me! I also apologize for those that I can’t seem to find the source of the photos.”
JUSTIN MEZZELL

VALERO DOVAL
Valero Doval is a Spanish artist that combines hand drawn elements with collage, often cleverly piecing together objects with similar themes, which is evident in this illustration for Elephant magazine. Combining a bird with a plane is a simple yet elegant concept, and Valero executes it in a stunning way.
Valero distinctly separates his editorial work from his personal work on his website. Both sections are fun to look at, as his concepts are intriguing and colorful. My favorite section is his collection has to be of his circus pets, which combines vintage photographs of dogs and cats with various shapes in a humorous way.
ALEX VARANESE
A San Francisco-based artist characterized by an unhealthy fixation on red and a style that mixes 2D, 3D and typography in ways that I’d like to think are highly original but probably aren’t in the grand scheme of things.
MAYUMI HARYOTO
“I was born 28 years ago. Mother is Japanese and father is Indonesian—just to explain my name. I’m a self-taught illustrator.
I graduated highschool early and I only took one year graphic design course at Digital College Studio (now International Design School) in Jakarta. I started working at the age of 18. I changed jobs a lot from a 2D artist in a game developer studio, art director in ad agencies, record labels, assistant producer/director, storyboard artist in film production houses, and few more others until I finally discovered that the world of illustration apparently is more than just comics and video games. I fell in love and it’s almost six years since I decided to dive into it.
I use both traditional and digital techniques with no real preference of medium. I’m greatly inspired by juxtapositions and sublime narratives but more specifically ukiyo-e (Japanese wood block prints), edo period art, and also Indonesia in 1950s, Jakarta/Batavia during Dutch colonial period, music, and colorful Asia.”
PAT PERRY
Pat Perry is an artist and illustrator who calls Grand Rapids, Michigan home. The lands of the north, colorful people, music, and the ordinary streets of the Midwest have always moved him. In between showing his art from coast to coast or working with an assortment of clients, Pat travels as much as possible. Although he is happy to be able to speak and have an audience through his artwork, he does his best everyday to listen and learn from the world he lives in.
ISABEL ROCK
Isabel Rock was born in Hammersmith in 1981. In 2005 she graduated from the University of Brighton with a first in Fine Art Printmaking. She completed her Masters in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art in 2008. Rock has shown widely since graduating, including India, London, Paris and Manchester, and has work in many UK and Indian Collections, Most notably the David Roberts Collection.
Rock says of her work, ‘narratives are central to the work, using fables, fairy tales and folklore which fascinate me. I enjoy creating images and stories from a few facts, fabricating a surreal, impossible and sometimes ridiculous situation on paper. Stories are passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, but like a game of Chinese whispers these tales can be embellished and distorted until eventually no one can say how much is true or make believe’
