chels
Hi I’m chels and I’m a self taught digital illustrator. My wonky drawings usually consist of a doll-looking-gal, with a red and pink theme, a funky 70’s styled quote is often floating around as well! Through my art I like to interpret typography to feed myself the words I need to hear, in hope they’ll also reach someone who needs to hear them! I do also enjoy doing non-serious drawings, such as my recreation of chuckie from the rugrats (photo attached) as I love all the nostalgic vibes and get heavily inspired by things I attached myself to in my childhood.

Megmayo
Hey! I’m Megan Barker, an artist currently based in Portsmouth, going by the name Megmayo. My art creates fictional characters and scenarios. Recently I have accepted that art needs no meaning. I create to ground myself and potentially others through a detached world of illogicalness. My only hope is that people find comfort in that and that is enough of a reason for me to continue doing what I’m doing.

Rag Doll Cookie
I am a freelance artist who specialises in animal and pet portraits, operating under the name ragdollcookie. I have a particular interest in the environmental side of animal life, so I have many pieces dedicated to endangered wildlife and the expression of their life and beauty. In this particular painting I wanted to express the natural world and the cycle of the seasons, not from our human perspective but through an animal's experience.

This too shall pass by Freek Wallagh
My name is Freek Wallagh, and I’m an Amsterdam-based poet, cultural organiser and activist. My work is mostly concerned with urban life, artistic communities and contemporary mythology. I try to find connections between age-old tales and issues of today, celebrating those who make our cities worth-while.
This too shall pass” is a poem inspired by the Judeo-Persian folktale about king Salomon and his wisest advisor. They would engage in intellectual pissing-contests, eventually settling their score by searching for something which would always make the king happy. His advisor came back with a ring stating that "this too shall pass". All he would have to do from now on, was look down at his hand and remember that our struggles too are only temporary. This has led to the powerful mantra helping those suffering with addiction, depression and loss.

The People's Paintbrush
“I’m a self taught queer artist. A lot of my art is me expressing my opinions on LGBTQ+ issues but I also do some mental health awareness pieces & quotes as well as 70s style music & film posters. But expecting anything as I have no particular style & I’m always open to suggestions or ideas!”
