After a year at art college and then a philosophy degree, he spent eight years working as a drum & bass producer. He then became interested in Physics and began his MSci at Imperial. He claims that his main love is still making music. “I try to make pictures that don’t take themselves too seriously, and quite often my pictures are just visual jokes. Apart from the emergency map, they’re all done on bits of a crappy old bedside table from Ikea. I had a vague plan about putting the table back together again once I’d painted on every surface, but then I gave a few of the pictures away so it didn’t happen. One day though… The map is painted on an old breadboard that I found on the street. It’s my hope that one day a situation will arise in which this map is actually useful, although the exact details still elude me” – Jack “I’ve been drawing for over 10 years, and have been interested in art and design since way before that. Like a lot of children, I grew up watching cartoons and anime on Saturday mornings and they’ve been a large influence on my desire to draw. I’ve taught myself using tutorials on the internet, and sketch/doodle quite a bit (as anyone who has seen my lecture notes will confirm) and hopefully I will continue to improve my art over the coming years.” – Julia “This photo was taken last August in Death Valley when a lonely cloud kindly covered the already baking, early morning sun.” - Chiara “After an intense discussion with the photographer, we decided on the sentence for the picture. These are two verses from José Martí’s poem “Cuba nos une...”. José Martí is Cuba’s most famous national hero after Fidel Castro and Che Guevara who also had a very intense career as a poet.” - Matteo M “I did this piece as a gift for my sister - it details the meeting of two characters in a book she is writing. The young boy is searching a deserted building, and the young girl is a spirit who inhabits it. It was done in Photoshop over a couple of hours.” – Tomlin “And it happened very suddenly; I learned what to do (or unlearned what not to do). I was drawing with both hands and I began to carve out a form with my charcoal pieces. Much like moulding a form out of clay, I started sculpting the form in front of me.” -Tempest
