Flora Lu is a London based illustrator and printmaker specializing in hand-drawing illustrations and etching prints, by focusing on themes related to storytelling and cultural narratives, which aiming to disseminates and communicate ideas through her unique creative vision.
I am a Portuguese illustrator based in London, specializing in printmaking, publication, and storytelling. I enjoy using both digital and analogue mediums and am always looking for new ways to express myself. My work often explores feminist themes and other social causes. I’ve created zines, album covers, and branding projects, blending illustration with social commentary.
My style combines vibrant characters, thoughtful narratives, and a mix of traditional and digital techniques to create engaging visual stories.
My name is Callum
My name is Callum – I am a physically disabled artist who hand carves wooden creations, using traditional techniques and locally sourced materials. I make everything from practical items such as bowls – to more whimsical display pieces such as carved mushrooms. Think of me like Santa’s elves, but I work all year round. Each piece I craft is handmade with a great deal of care, inspired by the beauty and resilience of nature. I aim to bring a touch of the warmth of nature to your home, and hope to share the peace and simplicity I find in the natural world through my work.
I’m Ediz, an illustrator based in South London.
My art revolves a lot around comics and storytelling, usually working in a cartoon style. My recent work is largely based around King Arthur, a figure of legend said to have lived around the 6th century in Britain. I enjoy combining the medieval characters of Arthurian legend with our modern world, and finding the comedy in this juxtaposition. I’ve produced postcards showing snapshots of King Arthur’s experiences navigating the 21st century, while also tackling the return of an ancient foe.

Hi, I’m Isabella (zykaji).
I am an illustrator and designer based in London. My practice focuses on identity and mental health where I channel my thoughts and emotions into my work. I love to explore and emphasise the importance of the mundane and monotonous moments in life, in addition to sharing my perspective of the world. This exhibit of work ‘Threads of the Heart’ focuses on grief and heartbreak with a central focus on young queer relationships. The publication captures the memories and emotions tied to the experience of loss.
I’m randal, a young artist who’s lived in south east london my whole life, and through discovery i’ve found mixed media in an analogue form the most interesting to work with – between painting, illustration and comics.
i indulge in the grotesque and “weird” when i can, and have found great inspiration from horror, sci fi and the avant garde.
