1. George J Harding
George is a fine artist based in Bristol and graduate from Chelsea College of Art and Design.
His quirky and individual works use collage as a starting point. He encapsulates objects
using high quality resins that form together in hyper-real flat surfaces. Found images and
photographs mix together to make informal settings that are then painted.

University) Matthew Cook has established himself with his very signature style as one of the
busiest illustrators of his generation.

book and camera. Directly after graduating, Matthew was given the opportunity to join
the Raleigh Expedition, an organisation that provides young people with the chance to
extend themselves in the demanding environment of a full-rigged sailing ship in exotic
waters. Spending a whole year sailing in the South Seas gave Matthew a chance, as an
instructor, to hone his skills and to return a year later hungry for a chance to establish
himself as an illustrator.
