OWT reel in the best of the up and comers and come and get mes of the North West's creative output, be it design or illustration, photography or other. OWT have got it covered.

Bryony Jackson and David Bailey

 Bryony Jackson (Manchester) is an impeccable artist from the famous hotbed of talents that is Manchester School of Art's Illustration with Animation course. Qualifying from the course last year, Bryony has been busy lino printing largely with side swipes in to screenprinting and model/mogul/monster making. Always innovative, always eye-popping. Spy her illustrations on the latest covers of Sugar Paper and The Shrieking Violet.

David Bailey is a vintage/gone off illustrator from the Manchester Met Illustration with Animation course. He's been making posters (largely inkjet, occasionally screenprinted, mostly A3) in and around Manchester over the past seven years or so. We can't really write anything nice about him because this is he writing this. David (me) also runs the self-published book shop, Good Grief!. I'll have prints, t-shirts and tote bags at PRINTOMANIA!

Sugar Paper Gang

Behold, the great reveal! Keep your beadies here for the steady trickle of PRINTOMANIA stallholders being unveiled. First up, we've got the super great...

Sugar Paper Gang!




































































Sugar Paper Gang is Seleena Daye (Manchester) and Kandy Diamond (Chesterfield), they make a superior bi-annual craft zine called Sugar Paper. Each instalment of Sugar Paper is a real event, jam packed as it is with "20 things to make and do". These guys are pros, they really know what they're doing and it shines through in each issue. The imagination, the inspiration, the zest, better than all the rest. Issue 8 will be fresh off the press at PRINTOMANIA, it stars a lino-printed cover by Bryony Jackson and includes pieces on taxidermy, cookie recipes, knitted slippers and more more more. Alongside the Sugar Paper catalogue expect stickers, bags, kits and who knows what. We're very pleased to have Sugar Paper gang at Printomania!
