Little Box of HorrorsGavin has always had a deep passion for nostalgia, which became even more evident during the lockdown when he created another toy group called Poise Toys. His inspiration for the group stemmed from a desire to bring joy and remind everyone of their childhood memories. He was also one of the pioneers of hosting live toy auctions on Facebook, a concept that turned out to be highly successful. Over time, Gavin discovered his love for the horror genre. When he met Wayne, their shared interests clicked instantly, and together, they were able to bring their creative ideas to life. Personally, I've always been a big fan of Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers, which makes this journey even more exciting. Wayne has an obsession with movies and horror since he was young, always loving marvel, manga and horror comics as well he was always drawing and creating something. From art college to becoming a graphic designer, sign maker and, mural painter to now a tattooist which he has done for 12 years, what better way to express his love to the genre by creating these works of art to share with his fellow horror fans. - Oliver Davenport & Annina KaskiE9

Karen JohnsonGEM Appeal was founded in 1994 by Karen Johnson after she was approached by Consultant Paediatrician Dr Ed Wraith with a request for money to be raised to hopefully extend the Willink Unit at the Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital and to fund research into the disorder that her two sons Simon and Mike were dying from. At that time there was no treatment and no hope for children diagnosed with these rare genetic disorders and inborn errors of metabolism and very little research was being done into these diseases. - Pete SinclairE12
Pete SinclairPeter became an artist from an early age, drawing the mask of Tutankhamun when he was 7. He hated everything about school apart from art and the photographic dark room with its protective red light, which provided some respite. He got into tattooing around 1996 and also started painting copies of old masters. The Foot and Mouth epidemic closed down many art fairs where Peter's work was being sold thus tattooing became a main source of income for the next 26 years. He returned to painting in 2016, once more creating versions of old masters.
