Craig Alan was born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California and has always been attracted to the artistic side of life. Craig Alan’s earliest experimentation was street portraiture, helping him perfect his flair for replicating the human figure and afforded the budding artist a sense of economic autonomy. Craig’s collections run the gamut from abstract expressionism to haunting, graphic realism, each one a reflection of its Craig’s unique vision. Having exhibited widely across the United States, 2012 sees the launch of his career in the UK with a major distribution deal with the UK’s major publishing and art group, Demontfort Fine Art. We look forward to watching Craig Alan’s career blossom and are thrilled that our collectors will be some of the first in the UK to enjoy and own his work.

James Mollison traveled around the globe and took some incredibly eye-opening photos of children's bedrooms. He then compiled them into a book, titled Where Children Sleep. Each pair of photographs is accompanied by an extended caption that tells the child's story. The differences between each sleeping space is striking. http://www.jamesmollison.com/project... Mollison was born in Kenya in 1973 and grew up in England. After studying art and design at Oxford Brookes, and later film and photography at Newport School of Art and Design, he moved to Italy to work at Benetton's creative lab, Fabrica.

"You are looking at pictures of a house I built for our family in Wales. It was built by myself and my father in law with help from passers by and visiting friends. 4 months after starting we were moved in and cosy. I estimate 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly £60/sq m excluding labour)."

Travis Louie’s paintings are inspired by 19th-century portrait photographs. Instead of people, however, his subjects are goofy-looking monsters. His work is beyond mere art for children, however. There is a refined eeriness to his pieces that give them depth and an elusive quality that really makes them stand out.
