Fiona Byrne
– Introducing Fiona, get to know her a little better in this quick fire question round.



Describe your style in 3 words... Drawing, Animals, Weird.

What's in the near future for you?... Trying to get established as an illustrator in Leeds,
and producing more work, I'm currently working on a series of images about the
relationship that animals have with some of the bi-products of human existence.
Also maybe some traveling and producing work as I travel.

First memory of wanting to be creative?... Being told off by my nursery school teacher for
wanting to carry on glueing pasta to paper with PVA glue, when we were supposed to be
having story time.

What advice would you give?... Don't trust horses.

What do you love to hate?... Bad films and TV. Really poor, low budget horror movies,
or terrible kids movies that weren't even good enough to get on the Disney Channel.
Terrible real life crime shows like "Extreme traffic cops 5" or something. I don't know
how I have the patience to sit through them, but I really indulge in torturing myself
with bad TV and then complaining and joking about it the whole time. I love Mystery
Science Theatre 3000 for that same reason.

Your most visited site?... Besides the usual mail and networking sites that I'm ashamed
to admit, probably cuteoverload.com, or current.tv - I don't have a TV, so I love watching
Infomania and The Rotten Tomatoes Show every week.

Your best flaw?... Neurosis. It can be really annoying, and probably one of the first things
people notice about me, but it makes me who I am and is what guides me to do such
detailed and weird drawings, that I love making, so I could never stop being slightly
neurotic for that reason.

What incorrect thing did you believe as a child?... I remember watching that TV show
"Due South" and thinking that Canadian Mountees were called "Mountees" because they
worked in the mountains, rather than because they are mounted on a horse.

What Scares you?... Loss, of the people that I love and my own or their physical and
mental health. And horses.

What are you thinking right now?... Wondering if my answers to this quiz were interesting
enough, thinking that hayfever is annoying, and that I should get dressed because it's
1.30pm and I'm still in my pyjamas.

Andrew Wheatley
– Meet our new friend Andrew, this is what he had to say when we asked him the Feral
10 question quiz...



Describe your style in 3 words... Silly, Strange, Collage

What's in the near future for you?... Traveling, and hover boards if you pay any attention
to Back to the Future.

First memory of wanting to be creative?... I hid behind the sofa and drew on my 2-year-old
sister with felt-tip pens, I was quite a maverick back then.

What advice would you give?... If you go back in time, don't change anything!
Because even the smallest thing could alter the future in ways you couldn't imagine.

What do you love to hate?... Rafael Benitez.

Your most visited site... Facebook.

Your best flaw?... Vanity.

What incorrect thing did you believe as a child?... When I swallowed my chewing gum,
my cousin made me cry because he told me that it would cross my heart and kill me.

What Scares you?... I had a horrible dream last night that the devil was trying to possess
me and a couple of strangers whilst we stayed in a hotel, we weren't allowed to sleep.
Then he made a wooden puppet carrying a massive stick come up a flight of stairs,
it was trying to smash our vase of holy water. The puppet twisted it's head around and
laughed at me before bursting into sawdust... This taught me that I am scared of devils
and wooden puppets.

What are you thinking right now?... I am thinking about dinner.
