John D'oh (UK)
Chances are if you've visited Bristol, you've already seen my work. Most of my work is created from media influence and recycled materials. I use my inspiration from love of film, anime, comics, the legends of urban art and add some of my quirky John D'oh humour to it!!
I'd like to think that I have my own style, as an artist I pride myself on my own originality, my own unique style that; like marmite, you'll love or hate it!

Josh Wingerter (NOLA, US)
"Let’s just do it man, see what happens.” This is the philosophy of Josh Wingerter, self-made artist and entrepreneur from Westwego, Louisiana, a small town right outside of New Orleans. Josh’s early roots in his artistic process started while he was working in artist Keith Eccles’s studio, who Josh credits as a huge influence on his artwork. Despite the lack of professional training or schooling in the arts, Josh managed to wow Eccles with his work. A customer stopped by the studio one day and noticed Josh’s work.
