I was once asked the question 'What would you do with a 5 minute slot on television?' My answer was; 'Make a vox-pop show asking people what they would do with a 5 minute slot on television.'
People interest me, and I like exploring them through words and pictures. I especially like looking at the way other people use words and pictures to explore themselves.
I write words and I draw pictures. I collect together other people's words and pictures and enjoy showing them to yet more people.
I am lucky because I get to do all this writing, drawing, collecting and showing for the lovely Amelia's Magazine. I also set up the online alternative women's magazine 'Uplift' so that other female creatives might find a space to delight in their own show and tell.

Emma suffers from a terrible incurable illness whereby she gets an evil fire in her belly compelling her to stay awake for nights on end, drawing and making strange clothes. Her poor parents were bewildered and decided that the best thing to do would be to send her to an institute In london town where that kind of thing is accepted. It was an amazing stroke of luck though when Emma found Andy, as he shares a very similar illness except the product of the fires in his belly are lovely sounding songs. Together they like to eat mung beans and break out into small spazmodic dances for no reason. However at the London College of Fashion, Emma's awful disease only got worse. She made clothes both day and night, she a made hexagon shaped jackets, trousers that were far too big for their own good, dresses out of upside down triangles, she even made strange laser cut fabrics. It got so bad that they put her clothes on a catwalk, gave her a first class degree and told her they couldn't take care of her anymore. It was around this time that Amelia found Emma wandering the streets of London and rescued her.

I like Robin Williams, trainers, 90s skate videos and wildlife documentaries. When it comes to remembering people's names I often fail and there is nothing that brings a smile to my face like a big fat plate of Italian food. I'd also one day like to get really into astrology.
I find the question “So what kind of music are you into?” very unnerving and almost impossible to answer, I usually just reply with several minutes of “Errrrm” followed by “Talking Heads?”
I got my first skateboard when I was 11 and like every good teenage boy I misspent most of my youth hurting myself on that and getting trampled at gigs. Then I found out I might just be able to make a career from doing stuff like this, and instead of going to university - which is where most people go to avoid doing a real job - I decided to avoid a real job by pursuing a career in journalism.

I live in Brussels and my work is inspired by an exploration of my childhood memories. I am inspired by independent comics; by awkward characters that are both disturbing and endearing, that evoke a world where repulsion and attraction are good friends. In this world difference is a criterion of seduction.
Oréli, an astonishing aesthetic ranging from the illustration for children and imaging blackest that could have found in American comics. Monsters nice, doudous venomous, hybrids delirious and botanical diabolical mix to create a mystical world and wrongly disrupted!
Festival themes of all kinds, shapes and frames close to the ground, floral decorations seasoned with a hint of animosity and eccentric bestiaries. In his compositions each element is highlighted without harming whole. His images of flamboyant colors have an immediate effect of seduction. It does not shock effect, but rather an atmosphere where there is a sweet strangeness.
Spontaneity and freedom of the Treaty, Aurélie Henquin, Alias Oréli, creates a world in which bêbêtes arising from the oddity of his imagination, come together démultipliées through this printing technique: the Screen!

Armed with a portfolio filled with drawings, garments, a few embroidered gloves, an unhealthy obsession with Howard Keele, cowboys and my trusty sewing kit I left the stability of art school to venture into the real world. Graduating as a printed textile designer from Edinburgh College of Art I returned home to London Town. I try to keep my work as low- fi as possible using just a few of my favourite things; felt tip pens, gouache and my lovely black rotring pen. When I am not drawing little pictures I am striving to complete the world’s finest one woman band costume. However I am currently thwarted by a lack of limbs so am now working on genetically attaching more - which coincidentally helps with the mass production of Nisha Matthew drawing originals.

I LOVE to draw, so luckily I am supporting myself as an illustrator and fashion designer. I recently moved from my hometown Copenhagen, Denmark to New York to follow my free spirited dreams about taking charge of my time here on earth.
I will describe myself as someone who truly breathes for ’the art of creation’ since I love anything related to it; like baking ryebread, blowing bubbles and building sand castles amongst other activities...
I am a hippie in many ways.
Got married to my husband last year on a beach in Kauaii. I met him in a teenage band 8 years ago. He was the guitar player and I the lead singer. Clichee?
Hence my love for colors and creation my greatest fear is losing my hands, or my eyesight... What would become of me then? I guess I would try to survive as a blind singer with no hands...
I am represented in the US by Trafficnyc, UK by Peppercookies and in France by Creative Syndicate.

"Hello, I'm Leona and I'm a graphic designer/ Illustrator residing in NW London with my boyfriend Joe who is also a designer. I graduated from Chelsea college of Art and design in 2004 with a degree in Design for Communication, since then I have been earning a living as a graphic designer.
Illustration is something I love and although my day job allows me to do a lot of illustration, it's out of work that I really pursue my passion for drawing. I draw with rotring pens and colouring pencils but I often give my illustrations that polished look by redrawing them in Adobe illustrator, I also purchased a Gocco printer recently which I plan to master soon!
I plan to carry on Illustrating and getting my work seen although I'm not about to quit being a designer yet, I like to do everything! So far this year my work has been published in 'Curvy 5' released by Yen Magazine, and now 'Amelia's magazine'!"

Born and raised in Finland, I discovered my love for drawing and colour, thanks to my inspirational Nordic roots and the countless days spent exploring the forests surrounding my grandmother’s house.
Years on, my creative ambition developed from drawing, into designing and making fashion garments. This took me to London where I recently completed a degree in fashion/textiles at Ravensbourne College.
Following my heart, I pursued my dream as a print designer. My work is versatile and crosses between fashion, textiles, illustration, graphics, and interiors. As one of the Texprint ’07 designers, I have been fortunate enough to exhibit my work in London and Paris, and have sold work to established international companies and designers. My prints have also been featured in reputable design books and magazines.
Amongst my many ambitions, I would love to see more of the world, creating exciting artwork, and ensuring my homeland memories and personal inspirations continue to drive me.

Hi I’m Kate and I make my illustrations by sweat, tears, cigarettes, tea and beneath all a touch of imagination. I like bargains, Paris, dreams, junk shops, horses, clutter, folklore kaleidoscopes, haberdasheries, the library and craft. I collect novelty bits and bobs on my travels... dated packaging, wrappers, paper, stationary and general tat. My images reflect my magpie instincts in an eclectic appearance of collage, combining photos, stitch, doodle, paint and found objects.
Having just graduated from my Illustration degree by the mystical coast my personal work to date has explored magical realism, Freud, poetry, heritage and superstition. A Jack of all trades, I look to the future to work across a range of contexts and themes with the hope of mastering a few. Have a butchers...

My name is Katey Harvey, I am originally from Manchester but currently live in Liverpool after studying Illustration and Graphic Arts at John Moores. I like to tell stories in paint and pencil and enjoy attention to silly detail. I love 0.3 automatic pencils, cute girls with beautiful dresses, eye-lash-on-a-stick paintbrushes, miniature objects, cheeky boys with cheeky faces, dunking my paintbrush in my coffee cup, taking a swig out of my paint pot, grey paper, owls and riding down the stairs in a duvet.

Kat Squire is a designer/illustrator based in London. She graduated in June 2007, from Central Saint Martins with a First in BA Textile Design (Print). In March 2007, she won Eddie Squires bursary for “outstanding contemporary printed furnishing fabric design” from the RSA. During her second year at college she discovered a passion for drawing and hasn’t put her pen down since. Her illustration work is typically composed of pen and ink drawings, collaged using different papers, coloured tape and stitch.
Since graduating she has worked as a freelance designer for a New York based surface design studio and for Skew studio, a London based children’s design company, on projects for the BBC and Nickelodeon. She loves designing, and one day hopes to market her one-off screen-printed and embroidered blankets (have a look at her website!) She enjoys drawing animals, playing the piano, giggling uncontrollably, and bum-boarding down icy slopes backwards. She dislikes buccaneering rats that invade her cupboards and cheap umbrellas.

Ellie is quite short, and quite nice. Her illustration work bursts forth from between the seams of your visual pleasure - once you have tasted her bitter sweet organic typographical joy daydream wonder picture love you will never want any other candy!
Born in a biscuit barrel somewhere exciting with death and scandal, she spent most of her youth drawing secret crayon notes and stuffing them into the holes of trees as messages for the squirrels. When her parents realised her amazing creative gifts they kept her fed on a constant supply of cakes and waffles, and tied her to an easel where she wept angry tears of love into the paint of her early works, imbuing them with magical properties. When they ran out of waffle mix, her parents were forced to allow her to attend the local school where she learned how to tie her shoelaces and tell analogue time. Her academic progression was a glittering one, but it is not very interesting.
These days Ellie dwells in a sticky tree knot Bristol and works for The Man in a big blue and yellow tin. She would be lost without her ever-growing collection of felt pens. Her most favourite things to draw are deers, bicycles, tears, things that are extremely kitsch, lettering, a million colours, anchors, diamonds, teeth, tiles, televisions and sometimes shoes. In the not too distant future she would like to draw a jerboa and a calculator. She has an accidental collection of bouncy balls. One day she would really very much like to own a big golden harp and some roller boots and live in San Francisco, where bouncy balls abound.
