The art project
Cheap started as an independent zine run by artists
Tommy Eugene Higson and Nikki Marie Jackson showcasing emerging and established talents in art, illustration, design, photography, literature and other creative and visual practices. Cheap has been involved and represented in various events and exhibitions internationally and is distributed internationally.
As artists we work and exhibit both individually and collaboratively and our work addresses various subjects and themes with several constants; accessibility, relevance and aesthetics. Cheap is a reflection of these abiding concerns and an ongoing project to describe and detail developments in regards to the broader visual and creative cultural landscape in the form of products, exhibitions and events and critical writing.

Ashley Fauguel
has just recently graduated from Northumbria University. An illustrator/ creator of pretty things to brighten your day! She has a rather strange talent of making pretty people look freaky which crazily enough makes me smile :) Ashley has just started work on her first zine which is frigging exciting, its called "All my Heroes are Weirdos" named after a club night that made her giggle! She likes to have her finger in a number of arty pies and loves experimenting that’s why she's currently learning to knit so expect to see some of my haphazard knitted creations!
Gimme That Thing creates handmade beaded, wire wrapped, knitted wire and ceramic jewellery as well as utility ceramics including mugs, vases, bowls, plates, fridge magnets and buttons. We will have a selection of unique one-off pieces to include earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches to suit both funky and more traditional tastes.

Nayna Lad has always been interested in the human form which is clearly depicted in many of her paintings. The work attempts to create movement and emotions through an expressive and abstract technique. Her work has gone through circles of change that has occurred to assist me to develop a particular style that she feels confident and comfortable working with.

Jude Macpherson is primarily a painter and am based at Rogue Studios, Manchester. Her practice also encompasses leading art workshops and producing work for non-gallery venues. Over the last few years she have painted a series of small abstract acrylic paintings on canvas which are collectively titled 'The Big Sell Out'. They explore a number of recurring themes and techniques and can be seen as precursors to my larger canvases.
