The 100 Houses brings together a 100 artists, illustrators, and street artists in support of housing and homelessness charity, Shelter. Given the theme of ‘house’, each artist has produced a unique piece of artwork 10-inch square in size. This exhibition will open at the Tobacco Factory, Bristol, on November 16 and will run until November 30. The exhibition is curated by artist Paul Roberts.

Loch Ness is a freelance illustrator who takes inspiration from comic art, graffiti and music, especially from the 60s and the psychedelic era. His work is prominent amongst the Bristol urban art scene. I love his comic-like characters, his work overflowing with imagination bursting with so much content your mind is sent into another dimension.

Brand New are one of my favourite bands. I have followed them for many years and watched their music evolve. I had the pleasure of interviewing them many years ago when I studied at university and did band reviews for the paper. Since then, their music has continually diversified.

On a recent trip to New York I became the proud owner of a kid robot swatch watch designed by Frank Kozik. There are eight artists in this kid robot collection: Tara Mcpherson, Gary Baseman, Joe Ledbetter, Jeremyville, SSUR Ruslan Karablin, Tilt, MAD, and Frank Kozik. With each watch you get your own little dunny, also designed by the artist. With the Frank Kozik watch, you pay a little extra and you get a big dunny with your watch.

Andy Council is a Bristol-based artist and illustrator. His style is very individual and stands out amongst the Bristol art scene. Dinosaurs are his trademark, which are cleverly and uniquely constructed out of inanimate objects and structures.

He is from an illustrative background, but is a big part of the graffiti community in Bristol. I love his style and the imagination and ability that goes into constructing his dinosaurs with such immense precision and detail.

I am a lover of all things Polaroid. In October 2008 The Impossible Project saved the last Polaroid production plant for integral instant film and started to invent and produce totally new instant film materials for traditional Polaroid cameras. In 2010, The Impossible Project saved analog instant photography from extinction by releasing various, brand new and unique instant films.

When I heard Polaroid were stopping production, I was saddened, as I think there is something unique and almost magical about the Polaroid. They capture something instant, a moment held forever. The colours and exposure blend in such a way that it creates an overwhelming emotion of that point in time, a dream-like state that reminds us how beautiful life can be.

Frith Street Tattoo is based in Soho, London, and it’s where I go to get my ink done by a very talented Stewart Robson. I base my tattoos on my paintings and Stewart very kindly puts his own spin on it and creates these wonderful images for me with immense detail and precision.

I am a little bit obsessed with Mark Ryden as I think his work is beyond amazing. Being a big fan of low brow and pop surrealist art I see his work as the highest standard in this genre.

He has the style of an old master but combines it with modern pop culture creating a juxtaposition of new and old. His quirky slightly morbid characters are delightful to gaze upon in their timeless world. Mark Ryden is indeed an awesome source of inspiration to me.
