Erika is a cartoonist based in the East Midlands. She’s been making comics since 2018 and printing her work since 2020. Her comics have been featured in Razorblades (image comics), Viscere (stregasporka) and When I Was Me (Quindrie Press). Her first longform comic, Disorder, was a nonlinear bodyhorror comic about self destruction, self creation, disability, transness and the horror of living in a world built upon broken queer bodies. Her current series, Worms, is a gothic horror inspired by being raised catholic and queer, it explores themes of abuse of power, guilt and self loathing, and complicity in atrocity.
Chris Lau Manson is a mixed Scottish-Hakka Chinese artist based near Glasgow. Originally from Hong Kong, he has built up a career in comics and illustration alongside maintaining a career in business technology, and will be attending the Glasgow School of Art in 2026. Outside of art and storytelling, he loves to cook and enjoys cycling whenever the west of Scotland weather allows for it. Chris’ comic work draws from his twin Scottish and Chinese heritages to tell stories infused with magical realism. The themes of his stories often deal with how tradition can help reinforce ourselves, but strict adherence to traditionalism holds us back.
