Jade Sarson fuses her tea-loving British roots with emotion-driven Japanese influences from her childhood, and combines traditional techniques with digital. She recently graduated from the University of Lincoln with a First class Honours degree in Illustration. Her work has been featured in many anthologies including the Leek and Sushi series (ITCH publishing), Non Repro and Nami, and in 2011 won 5th place in the Japanese Embassy's Manga Jiman competition, awarded by Ed Ilya. She is currently working on her popular web comic Cafe Suada, a comic about (you guessed it!) tea.

Abraham Christie is a London based comic creator whose practice centers around a naive dissection of his life and neuroses. Utilising a childlike, playful scribble and bold colours, his art explores daily life and inner turmoil, often in the guise of superheroes. Abraham attended Central Saint Martins School of Art, where he emerged in 2010 with a degree in Fine Art. Since then he has concentrated on writing/drawing comics, primarily his daily strip Doodle Daydream and his zine, titled: Nervous in a Cape; copies of which were included in the reading room of Tate Britain's Rude Britannia exhibition. Abraham has sold and distributed his zines in many fairs and exhibitions, including the London Comic & Small Press Expo 2011 held at Goldsmiths College.
