Glitchy digital interference creates these wonderfully eerie textures in work by Emir Šehanović, aka Esh. Various filters and distortions rework hand-mand and digital collages with an element of unease.

We think the combination of ultra-modern imagery with a flavour of the occult makes for an original and interesting atmosphere.

Ellie Rassia is a recent summer graduate and produces these large, intense drawings. We like them for the unshackled use of bright colours, pattern, and sense of free-flowing pen on paper.  She also sneaks in a little collage, which usually being figurative, adds too the psychedelia, like they are the main character and we are getting a glimpse of their trippy visions.

We like that the uncertainty about what’s really going on in Joana Garrido’s series of photographs opens up the door for the viewer to imagine quite magical and mysterious. The circular presentation also adds to the sense of peering into an alien world that’s full of colour and strange, floating creatures.

The artist behind this series of ethereal, experimental photographs describes herself as a digital and analogue photographer with a huge love for alternative printing processes and all other avantgarde mixed media techniques. We’re glad Eni Turkeshi’s approaches her photography in such a way because the results are beautiful, haunting images.

Although Liam Stevens‘ skilful drawings are impressive enough, we like his work because he’s taken it a step further, creating miniature sets, which are then softly lit and beautifully photographed.

His drawings themselves are rich in contrasting textures and tones. Often showing vast natural scenes, areas of smaller, more precise detailing are set next to deeper, more expressive dark shades drawn with a heavier hand, giving a nice range or feeling throughout one piece.

Cityabyss is the working name of Poland-based illustrator and designer, Beata Szczecinska.

As you can see, her work has a hint of glamour and seduction within its photographic quality, which lends itself perfectly to fashion illustration, although she has worked across the field, in art direction, print design, web design and visual identity.
