Kayo Ume
Following the seminal works titled "Boys" and "Girls", Kayo Ume, with "Grandfather", "Eye Popping Moments" and "Succession of Thrills", has been offering us a glimpse of the world of amazing incidents we would otherwise miss in everyday life. Her photographs were first introduced in REFLEX, the book on portraits of the Japanese, and then in group and solo exhibitions around Japan for the past several years. She now has her own popular pages in Mainichi Chugakusei Newspaper and LUCA magazine.

Wisut Ponnimit
hesheit
Now a resident of Kobe, Wisut Ponnimit moved to Japan in order to expose Japanese youth to his manga. He is a comical but charismatic manga artist highly influenced by Japanese manga whose works are now often featured in Japanese magazines and exhibitions as well as in Thai cultural magazines. In 1998, based on his own experiences he started the series titled "hesheit" in which he has been unravelling a twisted but sentimental and surreal world. Recently, he has composed and played music for his animations. He also supports bands, occasionally playing drums for bands such as "Armchair" and "Death of A Salesman" on Bangkok's smallroom label.
