Joni Belaruski
Her work celebrates the weird and the wonderful, the dark and the silly, drawing inspiration from pop culture to pornography to David Attenborough, and fishing around within the dark depths of the human psyche where dreams and nightmares reside... Topped off with a healthy touch of gallows humour. A canvas could be a wall, a guitar, a drumskin, a piece of wood....
She exhibits regularly in the UK and has had her artwork used by numerous bands including Foy Vance, The 1975, The Libertines and The Urban Voodoo Machine. She is also a touring musician, playing drums for punk folk favourites ‘The Great Malarkey’ and tuba for Rotten Boroughs.

Christos Tolera
I believe in the magic of paint and the visceral qualities it has of applying skin to flesh and surface to substance. I am interested in composition and balance and occasionally imbalance. I am still in thrall to the poetry and romantic possibilities of paint. I hope that my work, when successful, bypasses the intellect and affects people emotionally and in an ideal world the audience would experience the same feelings when they are looking as I had when I was painting.

Ella Guru
Has brought yours…and her own…strangest dreams to canvas in her richly deviant and esoteric style for many full moons. From whitewashed gallery walls to secret~panelled Bohemian castles, her vibrant art has added its own sacred profanity to many an environ.
Her distinctive Hagstrom guitar has played many a tune in many bands, among them The Voodoo Queens, The Deptford Beach Babes and The Tropics Of Cancer.
