Joey Mutant (aka Joe Public)
Joey is from Stalybridge, Manchester, and is artist, web designer, songwriter, vocalist and punk. He is lead singer/songwriter in the experimental punk band, Black Light Mutants.

Pogger Art
The enigmatic Pogger lives in Leeds and specialises in weird and wonderful urbanite creatures.
Pogger tries to explain “I often get people asking what the hell goes on in my head? I don’t really know myself to be honest but I make horrible looking characters in the form of paintings and illustrations. “
These can be seen dotted around Leeds on hand-made stickers and posters. Pogger has done work for punk bands including The Afternoon Gentlemen, Chiens, Agathocles, Thrashers, Dry Heaves as well as a Tribute to Rudimentary Peni compilation CD. Look out for his work on recordings by China Shop Bull, Dead Subverts, Global Parasites.

Dr. Victor Freakinstyle
Freaky, funny, perhaps funky. That’s what my work should look like, but if you wonder whether my sculptures have more meaning below their skin:
My work is about our obedience when it comes to valuing things; we have become consumer freaks that are lacking opinion. I want to show this mindless following of marketing by making freaks out of low value material, specifically sheep bones, in approachable style.
In a lot of my sculptures I use bright colours, representing our money driven modern nature, to create a contrast on bones that forms a spotlight for Mother Nature.
