Magda Archer is a London based artist. She studied at Ravensbourne College of Art, Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art. Her first solo show Crazy Mad was in 2011 at The Cornerhouse, Manchester. Magda's breakthrough show #givemeeverythingandnothingbaby was first shown at the opening of HOME, Manchester in the summer of 2015 before moving to Chapter Arts in Cardiff where, due to popular demand, the show's run was extended. Magda's work has been used by a variety of different companies from Blue Q in the U.S. to the Comme des Garçons SHIRT campaign of 2012. Magda collaborated with the British Fashion designer Jenny Packham in Fall 2017 and then again in Easter of 2018. Magda's interests outside of art include terriers, aliens and space, comic book art, customising denim jackets and painting leather ones and, as she puts it, ‘ham fisted song writing’.

David Shrigley
Shrigley is a Glasgow-based artist whose drawing style evolved as a reaction to the seriousness of the art he was expected to produce at art school. He bases his work on intuition rather than long-winded theory. Shrigley is also a self-editor, ripping up whatever he thinks doesn't work into teeny-weeny pieces so that they can't be recycled. He holds onto the things that surprise him and make him laugh. David Shrigley is a British artist who has come to prominence through his drawings, publications and sculptural works. His drawings have a kind of throwaway beauty peopled as they are with monster children, idiots, aliens, bad parents and full of twisted lists and exchanges.
