Igor Siwanowicz
Igor Siwanowicz has spent years carefully acquiring, breeding and photographing praying mantises and other bizarre insects.
"I have always been fascinated by insects even from childhood," he says. "You could say that I am sort of a public relations representative in service of creepy-crawlies. I think mantids are totally slick and sexy, and have style. I take 'weird' and 'bizarre' as positive adjectives."
Apart from the standard challenges presented by close up and macro photography in the form of camera shake, operating with a limited depth of field and ensuring enough light is available, Igor must also contend with the temperament of his subjects. "Animals are very unpredictable and uncooperative, and there is almost no way to force them into collaboration," he said. "One can use tricks though - moths and butterflies are very docile freshly after hatching. Most otherwise fidgety insects can be approached early in the morning, when the temperature is low and their metabolism hasn't kicked in yet."
Igor cites his main influence as the works of the designer of the monster from the Alien films, HR Giger.

"Laughter sounds the same in every launguage."
Jowy Maasdamme
Netherlands-based Fashion Illustrator
With the use of simple raw materials such as ink and pencil she illustrates her visions. In elegant but strong lines she enraptures a world that is both feminine and dark. She emphasizestransformation, fragility, and fantasy in a susceptible and delicate way.
Her work has a strong connection with both high fashion and the human body.
"I get inspired by courage, fairytales, myths, nightmares, Disney, outcasts, punks, sex, vulnerability, nature, humanity, just by life. My drawings are mostly black and white, to me that feels natural, simple like night and day.
I mostly draw people; women. I get obsessed with faces, postures, eyes and my aesthetic is highly influenced by fashion. "
