Dipti Thadani

Hello! I'm a young South Asian artist who's lived in South East London my whole life. I've really enjoyed working with mixed media, sci-fi art, small comics and sculptures when I get the chance. This artwork I’ve made is of a robot in the process of getting infected by a tapeworm and it messing with its circuits, which is kind of inspired by retro-sci fi art of the 60’s. Have an ELECTRIFYING day! Thank you!

Artist Named Nobody

Black is beautiful and I've made it my mission to display that through digital art. Through drawing a diverse range of characters - especially those who don't fit into conventional beauty standards (such as those who are queer, disabled, religious etc) - I hope to show that Blackness is more than just a colour and beauty exists in every form of humanity.

Liz Harvey

I'm a digital artist originally from Croydon and I create illustrations that celebrate pop culture through shape, form and colour. I take my inspiration from fashion, music and film, and I'd describe my art as playful and fun.

I started creating professionally in December 2020 after stepping away from my corporate job to focus on my mental health. One day I picked up my tablet to do some sketching and the next thing I knew I was ordering paper samples and experimenting with packaging! I now sell original and commissioned work through my brand House of Marsha.
