Ashton Attzs
"I just had this idea that artists don’t make money or you can’t get anywhere. But, I was so wrong to think that. I realised that it’s best to just run with what you want to do, run with your heart."
Ashton Attzs is a 22 year old queer, black, non-binary London based-artist. Their paintings and illustrations empower the everyday person. From the dreamy blues, to the cotton-candy pinks-popping against their charmingly distinctive and diverse animated characters: their work is bold, joyful and unapologetic both in style and message.
CARne Griffiths
"The thing that makes you unique as an artist is the combination of all the things you’re passionate about. If you can find a way to include all those passions in your practice, in what you do, then that’s extra unique to you, as no one well will have all those key skills and key passions”
Carne Griffiths is without doubt one of the most talented and versatile artists we have ever worked with. Whether it’s being a VR genius, an origami master, a breathtaking painter and everything in between, Carne takes to every project like a duck to water.
HAUS of Lucy
“My goal as an artist is definite world domination. So that every single household in the world has something of mine on the wall or on the shelves"
Over the last few years we have had the pleasure of joining forces with the incredible Haus of Lucy on many occasions. From exhibitions, to selling prints and big brand commissions we have done it all together. This video was captured at a really special moment as it was the beginning of Lucy’s full time art journey! Lucy has a mission to make people happy and for her work to make people smile, it’s safe to say she has accomplished this tenfold with us!

"Through art you can express what you are saying, this is my way of talking, if I could rap I would make an album"
Jason aka In Search of Sam is a real Creative Debuts success story. From participating in our collaboration with South London collective Living Free Collective to projects with the likes of adidas Disney and Instagram. Jason successfully uses his building block architectural aesthetic as the megaphone for important conversations, using nostalgia and accessibility as the Trojan horse for discussing societal change.
luke adam hawker
“I became an interior designer and I was sketching everyday. Alongside that I was always drawing outside of work. Just observation. And that would be a form of meditation for me, somewhere to escape to"
Luke Adam Hawker and his beautifully delicate yet striking observational drawings have been a main stay in our curatorial projects since 2013. He manages to perfectly captures the spirit and dynamism of his subject, whether that be his amazing people watching series, blue plaque doors or iconic architecture.
Rayvenn d’clark
“Create something that would allows me to have a conversation”
Fascinated by the human form—and especially the human face— Rayvenn D’Clark decided to transform traditional portraiture into mask-like tridimensional sculptures. In order to achieve this unique life-like bodily realism D’Clark ended up creating her own process. Combining live casting and 3D printing, she produced detailed human-like sculptures—sometimes including human hair or made-for-human elements such as nail varnish.
Carl beazley
“Art for me is play. It gives me that chance to not grow up. Art is instinctual”
Approaching art in the same way a child would by trying to limit the inevitable edits of an adult brain, Carl Beazley attempts to tap into the source at it's purest state: A thirty-something going back to the roots of play and creation. The equivalent of making something from a big box of Lego without the instruction booklet.
Paul Fuentes
“The creative process looks like trying to absorb as much as you can of the things that you like”
Paul Fuentes Design is owned by husband-and-wife duo Paul and Ilse Fuentes. Paul grew up in Mexico City where he worked as a graphic designer and started his fascination with manipulating images for fun. In 2015 when Paul opened his Instagram account @paulfuentes_design to share his minimal mashups in which he combines the best of two artistic movements and transform them into pastel-coloured compositions. French surrealism and the culture of Pop Art.
naledi modupi
“I’m inspired by African storytelling in such a way that i try to portray the idea of Black joy, to shift away from the narrative of Blackness being associated with dtruggle, pain and sorrow.”
The work of Naledi Modupi is heavily inspired by the beauty of blackness and the characteristics associated with black people. Through it she aims to inspire confidence and awaken hope in those who are able to find their reflections in her pieces, just as she sees her work as a reflection of the faces surrounding her, accompanied by a beautiful array of colours, shapes, and patterns.
