Brilliant and colourful work from the London based duo Anna Lomax and Lauren Davies who make up Jiggery Pokery and not too recently won a poster design competition by ‘Don’t Panic‘ with their entertaining scene ‘The Magic Machine’. They specialise in devising unusually surreal and rich environments as well as 3D creations, interactive displays and larger than life props.

Su Blackwell creates incredible paper-based art created with books as well as separate sculptures. There is a nice installation where she made a thousand cranes from pictures of missing people, basing it on the Japanese legend that those who fold 1000 cranes will get their wish granted.

Though Paul Wallace’s portfolio contains some illustration and caption competitions, his forte seems to be the rough clay sculptures which he creates, one of which is shown here entitled “El Muerto”, relating to El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead).
