Koichiro Kashima (Japan) was an interesting series of illustrations. These were many fascinating illustrations of a fantasy world that the artist created. He created a narrative for the images where a pincushion rolled down from the sewing box and fell to the ground. There are many small creatures living on the surface of this pincushion, which our eyes cannot see as they are too small. He gives these creatures names. Kashima pays particular attention to detail in this illustrations and the creativity and imagination behind these works.

The event saw a wide variety of different styles and mediums exhibited, with many different concepts to the works, with work to interest and appeal to all audiences.
