Martha Verschaffel transforms dreams, nightmares, and obsessions into dark, enigmatic pencil drawings. Her practice is characterised by delicate shading and quietly disturbing imagery. Preferring suggestion over explanation, her images create an unsettling and elusive narrative space that explores open-ended visual storytelling. She publishes zines and graphic novels like 𝑳𝒊𝒍𝒚 (2015) and 𝑷𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 (2021).

Sam Vanbelle is an editorial illustrator with a heart for social design, known for translating complex ideas into clear, witty visuals for clients near and far. Diversity is a constant: Vanbelle’s work depicts a broad spectrum of people, including strong non gendered figures, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities, using bold colour to bring broad visual appeal to their works.

Wide Vercnocke describes himself as a writer and illustrator of tear-jerkers. His work blends poetic abstraction with physical intensity. Vercnocke’s stories, or graphic poems, merge language and image into emotionally resonant narratives that are in constant transformation. He has published several graphic novels, including 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏 (2020) which recounts his family’s story during and after the second World War.
