PHOTOGRAPHY
Kaushik Dolui
Presently working and living in Kolkata, Kaushik Dolui graduated and completed Master Degree in Economics from Calcutta University. In his childhood days, he did the drawing and painting, later in his mid-twenties he developed an interest in photography. Herein all the images, I tried to use the infrared effect artistically which creates wildly strange and artsy photographs. Sometimes it gives an unpredictable result. I experimented a lot and I think, lastly created some artful images. Selection of images and to what extent this filter I can use is the main criteria so that lastly it creates a mysterious and artful effect In many images, use of infrared effect was least, maintaining the artistic ability of my own.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Alexandra Wesche I'm an amateur photographer from the centre of Germany. I have pursued photography since my teenage years and landscape photography in particular for more than ten years. I’m mostly drawn to the kind of places that people have always told stories about. Forests, mountains, moors, water. There’s always a sense of the unknown, of darkness, mystery and danger. These places can be frightening, but they are also alluring and often necessary, because they provide shelter or nourishment.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Dave McDermott I'm a photographer based in Kildare, Ireland and have been taking photos for about 10 years. After experimenting with different styles, I started to develop a particular interest in portrait and boudoir photography, with an emphasis on storytelling. I primarily work with natural light and enjoy shooting in various locations around Ireland as well as abroad.
I like to collaborate with models but I occasionally work with actors and musicians too, and I hope to do more of that in the future. I strive to create images that tell a story or have a good connection with the subject. That's what I find the most interesting when looking at other peoples work. Having a good understanding of colour theory is very important too and is something I'm always trying to improve.

PAINTING
Robert Ritter
Robert Ritter applies techniques, that explore all facets of painting whilst simultaneously staging them sculpturally. Colour is applied to canvas in 30-40 layers, that accumulates and create enigmatic objects that are painting and sculpture at the same time. The last layer is sanded down, lacquered in white or adorned with an illusionistic motif – again using acrylics.

PAINTING
Denisa Bertóková "Emotion and people can change us, art can lead to inspiration and creativity. Therefore, the pouring method is like mixing the colors of your own feelings" The inspiration in pouring method comes derives to painting, after that the artist is experimenting with acrylic and with colors determined for metal object or interior and exterior. Thereby abstract paintings with plastic structure, colorful and reflection arise.

PAINTING
Avont Garcia I was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Ive had a love for drawing since i can remember picking up a pencil. Was i any good as a child? Maybe, but other children were always better. I used to watch the commercials on T.v about buying a set of art lessons to become a great artist, but my parents never would’ve bought it for me.

DIGITAL ART
Anna Butova
I'm a digital artist with a focus on concept art and book illustration. The main thing for me in my work is to express the environment and the atmosphere. Because it helps to create a special space, a particular reality, and when you look at it, you can believe that it truly exists - even if just for one moment.

DIGITAL ART
Mishel Bardhi My name is Mishel Bardhi and I am a digital artist from Albania. I started my long journey in art ever since I was a child when i would make small sketches. As time passed, I kept on practicing until I managed to create my own style, which is a bit dark and very detailed (but not hyper realistic).

SCULPTURE
SAM HAYNES I am a mid-career visual artist based in London. I started my practice over twenty five years ago creating site specific public art installations, engaging local communities with the belief that art has the power to bridge divides within society. The creative process is still all about making connections for me, within my practice as an artist facilitator, as well as a collaborator and sculptor. Accessibility lies at the heart of my work, incorporating found objects and materials, using low tech methods of construction to create abstract assemblages that reference domestic and architectural space. My mixed media work combines a rhythmical, systematic design and geometric structure with softer, flexible elements that take shape more organically. I am led primarily by an intuitive response to these contrasting or opposing materials, leading to often unexpected outcomes. These playful interactions, surprising and yet familiar, seek to create a sense of balance and tension, building dynamic connections between materials and the surrounding space, animated through the use of colour, light and shadow.

INTERVIEW
Artist Mike Dubisch Artist Mike Dubisch can see into the dark corners and draw it for all to behold in its frightening and disturbing beauty. He's been working in the Underground comic book scene for decades and has contributed his ability to create unusual creatures to the world of Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars RPG, album covers, film, and shares these skills with his students at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Most recently he contributed two very disturbing, comic book stories to "Slow Death" an anthology that includes a story by R. Crumb and the last published story from Richard Corben who just passed away last year. His art also covers the pages of Forbidden Futures Magazine, a horror anthology published by Daniel Ringquist (aka Oddness) in San Francisco. Quarterly issues that will make your hair curl. Mike lives and works in Mazatlán, Mexico with his wife, Carolyn Watson-Dubisch and three daughters. He joins us to chat about live and art.

INTERVIEW How long have you been in the Underground comic book scene? What are your greatest strengths?
I've been drawing underground comix- comics too violent, weird or stylized to be part of the mainstream, since before I was considered old enough to buy such books! I think I was right for the occupation because I have a natural tendency towards the grotesque, as well as sort of a rendered style that works well in black and white,and a straddling of realism and cartoon styles.

INTERVIEW From Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars RPG, album covers to films, which are your top three favorite characters?
My favorite characters overall are probably among those I draw "on my own time" Swamp Thing, Spiderman and Batman, though if I'm being honest, I'm not terribly pleased with my own depictions of those favorite characters. Of the one's I've drawn professionally, I'd say the various dragon characters I created for Palladium Books' "Dragons and Gods", the Elf and Orc pantheons for Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons and Dragons, and the A.I. "Mr. Turtle" from Kurodahan press.

INTERVIEW Could you tell us more about what led to your contributing to "Slow Death"?
The story of how I came to contribute to Slow Death Zero, the latest installment of the socially and environmentally conscious comic anthology that began in the back in 1971 (the year I was born!) is interesting. My friend horror author Cody Goodfellow and I had wanted to develop a similar comic and and ended up creating the graphic novel Mystery Meat, featuring a series of stories inspired by the implications of lab grown meat. When fellow cartoonist John Lucas mentioned he was contributing to the new Slow Death, I realized they'd missed our 'demo tape' and John helped me get a copy of Mystery Meat in the editor's hands. The publisher, Last Gasp, expanded the size of the book to include two new stories from Cody and I, inspired by the issues of refugees, disease, and the garbage crisis. It's an amazing honor to be included in the book with many of the underground comix masters I've revered my whole life.

INTERVIEW How do you feel to have your art covering the pages of Forbidden Futures Magazine?
It's an incredible honor to have all these amazing authors create new stories based on my artwork. this may be the first time an entire genre fiction magazine has been illustrated by one artists work. I'm thrilled to be working in the cutting edge of weird fiction publication.
JaamZIN Creative 25
INTERVIEW Where would you consider places that give you the most inspirations for your art and creations?
I often become obsessed with ancient roles that cross modern boundaries. This inspired my graphic novel "The Wet Nurse" from Strange Aeons and the upcoming story "The Doula's Exile" in Forbidden Future's issue 9. Sometimes these stories are, in a general way, inspired by the works of authors I enjoy, and in my mind at least, they are sort of tributes to those other creators. I do enjoy travel and doing art in new locations, and on those journeys I feel like I am discovering a new artist within myself. Those excursions and the work they generate influence my professional and personal work in many ways.
