Featured Artists
Deseo
Starting at his earliest memories, Deseo, has always had a passion for art. Fascinated by being able to take a blank sheet of paper and having the freedom and being fully aware of the endless possibilities, has been a part of his life even before he could learn to write.
Twenty seven years later, the idea of taking that blank piece of paper and knowing that anything is possible, has made the work a collage of styles and influences that have inspired and helped shape the appearance of my work. Pin up, anime, graffiti, art novau, fashion, "low brow" art, and fine art are sources of his inspiration.
When you look through the work, keep the word diversity in mind. Because the more open your mind is, the more beauty you'll see, not only in this page but everywhere you go. It's what Deseo has and will continue to illustrate with the different and beautiful women that express ideas, events, or issues that fill his mind.

Nanami
Nanami Cowdroy was born in Sydney, Australia with close bonds to her mixed Japanese-European heritage. Growing up with such contrasting cultures and surroundings, has greatly influenced her style of art and creative expression.
By intertwining complex characters and highly detailed objects her pieces reflect a juxtaposition between foreign and familiar entities and environments. Her imagination is illustrated through works which are elaborate and exotic. She is drawn to subjects, which may on the surface seem delicate or fragile, but are given strength and depth through her pen and ink techniques, intricate hand illustrative style and mixed media compositions.
Her signature detailed style reflects a refined monochrome pallette with her name 'Nanami' (meaning 'Seven Seas' in Japanese ) stamped in red. Fluid line-work, watery creatures and Goldfish are some of her favourite subjects, and distinctive forms which are featured in her artworks.
