CONTRIBUTORS
Thanks to all the artists, writers and critics that have contributed to The Flaneur.
A comedy scriptwriter for radio and TV in the sixties, Bernard King wrote material for the greats of the day, from Bob Monkhouse and Max Bygraves to Dave Allen and Bob Hope. After a successful business career, he switched to writing novels. http://www.bernardking.co.uk
Stefan Bleekrode has been working as a self-taught artist since 2004, travelling Europe and the US regularly in search for inspiration. Urban scenery is the prime subject in many of his pictures. Often these images convey a mood of contemplation and solitude. Currently he works in water-colour and egg tempera whilst his cityscape drawings are usually executed in ink.
Julie Ball’s work explores the use of digital microscopic photography. The irony and humour she injects into the work is her way of dealing with the more serious ‘bits and pieces’ in life and often takes the form of poetry which connects with the art.‘Navigational Error’ is a silk screen print of a microscopic image of a dead insect removed from the surface of her car following a journey.

Lotte Teussink is a 28-year-old Dutch visual artist, living and working in Rotterdam. Her work consists of drawings and paintings, taking peaceful scenery of eg. a house, a car and a clothes-line, and alienating it by using awkward colours, forms and placing. For the series called Grave Expectations she took various different small drawings from her dummy and made it into one, almost like a collage. This makes it a lovely explosion of little absurdities. www.lotteteussink.nl
Erik Vink lives and works in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. He performs worldwide with the international street theatre group Close Act and creates big, realistic oil paintings on linen. He chooses his subjects from common media such as newspapers. He isolates them from their environment using extreme framing and no backgrounds. The final result: the named portrait as the ultimate imagination of the group. www.erikvink.nl
Spike Dennis trained at the distinguished Wimbledon School of Art, London. He has been creating, painting, sticking, drawing and inventing since the great summer of nineteen eighty something. The young and enthusiastic artist can be found buried in his lair in South Wales assembling an audacious body of artwork inspired by rocks, dreams and the natural world, with which he hopes to conquer Newport, and then …the universe! www.eye-sore.co.uk
Lorena Guerra is a 23-year-old graphic designer currently living in Los Angeles, CA. She really doesn’t like Los Angeles at all, but somehow she ended up there. She has always liked music, books, the internet, video games, and snacks. But she absolutely hates TV.
Ankan Kazi is doing an exchange programme at Sciences-Po, Paris from Delhi University, India where he was reading English Literature.
Simon Leyland is a man who fell from grace and is currently living in a small cottage in the west of Ireland
Ernest Dempsey is the author of four books including his humorous/satirical short story collection The Biting Age. He is a nonconformist and the editor of the print quarterly Recovering the Self www.recoveringself.com
The Wish Fulfillment Machine is a magical entity capable of making all your dreams come true. Through highly technical and super-scientific processes (and a bit of glitter) the staff grants submitted wishes. Creators Britt and Jules live in the U.S. When they aren’t granting wishes they like to drink bubble tea, throw birthday parties, and soak in the tub. http://WishFulfillmentMachine.com BrittanyDeNigris.com, JulianneHamilton.com
Lemeh42 is a couple of Italian artists formed in 2007 who work with digital animation and illustration. Their works have been presented at and awarded by the major festivals of videoart and animation worldwide. In 2009 Lemeh42 won the Italian Iceberg Prize and represented their country at the European Biennal of Young Artists in Skopje, Macedonia. In New Italians we have been working with African refugees landed in Italy to find a better future. This has given life to a series of portraits.http://lemeh42.indivia.net
Nathan Anderson is a visual artist and filmmaker. He is a graduate of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and currently resides in Los Angeles where he co founded the film production company Lullskull Ltd with his two partners. His most current visual work involves clay board drawings that can take up to three weeks to complete and utilize non traditional mark making tools, such as knives and screws. The work explore ideas of identity, patience and spirituality. To find his work go here:http://www.lullskull.com
Jojo Lambert is a practicing artist and writer, currently working on several projects exploring sexuality and social norms. The starting point for any piece of work is the idea. Medium, style and tone is driven by concept. She trusts her instincts, works candidly and avoids censoring herself. She loves tea, sleep and world peace. Her birthday is the 22nd March, please send presents (anytime of year).http://johannalambert.blogspot.com
