Dan Stafford
Reader Find
Well, this is awkward. How about I break the tension with some third-person statements? Yeah? Ok. Dan Stafford is a London-based, Mancunian born image-maker with a dazzling approach to the use of colour and ideas in his illustrations. Dan’s work is often concerned with the political or sensational, describing contemporary culture with a frenetic sense of panic and playfulness.

Robert Montgomery
Reader Find
Robert Montgomery is a London-based artist, or maybe a poet, who hijacks billboards, empty ad spaces on the streets and backlit metro lights with his words of wisdoms. Instead of illustrations, he uses typography to get his message across, which is pretty cool because people actually would stop and read.

Inviting questions as to the history and function of the pieces, upon closer inspection, these objects reveal themselves as meticulously cast replicas of readily available every-day objects.

Michelle Reader
Reader Find
There’s something about Michelle Reader’s artwork that sneaks up on the viewer — on the surface, her aesthetic is not too far off from most ‘outsider’ artists who frantically cobble together sculptures of cute animals out of found junk.
