We heard about some Red Ladies at the British Library. We sent our photographer Oli Longmore down hunt them down. Then we spoke to Suzy Willson of Clod Ensemble who masterminded the whole affair.

Jason Hakenwerth strings together balloons to create his beautiful sculptures, which have been hung in galleries, paraded down sreets and used to entertain large groups of kids. Here he tells us a little bit more about his unusual art form

The junction of Edgware and Harrow Road, under the roar of the Marylebone flyover, isn't particularly pedestrian-friendly, and neither is the warren of seedy subways which run beneath it. This Christmas however, the Subway Gallery, an exhibition space located in one of these underground subways, is hosting a festive exhibition to brighten up the commute home, featuring the work of London-based artist Alessandra Travagliati. Called Cat Holic, traditional ideas of Christmas are firmly rejected and cats alone are being worshipped.

Jason de Caires creates underwater sculptures. Instead of trying to create unchanging and lasting works, he encourages the organic growth of coral and other organisms across his creations. He's working on a new project in Mexico at the moment, but we caught him on dry land for a few questions.

We first discovered Steven Wilson's lush technicolour style back in April, when Kelly and Becks had a chat with him in Brighton. Now we've commissioned him to design our latest poster on the theme of Success - which of course indicates that he's made it.

Mondongo are a group of Argentinian artists who make some very detailed collages. They once made one out of biscuits of a girl mid-fellatio. These new works are made almost entirely from plasticine, and many of them are over a metre squared. Painstaking, much? We sent Julius Hinks down to this new show at Maddox Arts to find out more

Si Scott is a brilliant illustrator/typographer who works almost entirely via pencil/paper. He creates ornate swirling images that kind of look like they've been distilled out of oil floating on water. He has done our most recent poster on the God theme, and provided us with answers to a few questions about his trade.

Pete Fowler's little critters first came into the public sphere back in '97 when his strolling raccoon burglar became the cover of Super Furry Animals' Radiator album. From there, things kind of snowballed, and now there's a whole Monsterism Island.
