Sam Brown

The creator of explodingdog.com. At first glance his pictures seem simplistic and child-like but the emotion and depth that his stick figures convey is powerfully effective.

He has an obsession with robots (one many obsessive themes that carry through his work) and will usually change the word 'monkey' to 'monster' when it appears in a title.

A fantastic and gorgeous singer-songwriter. Very distinctive voice and individual style.

• Daughter of the vastly famous Joe Brown (well, if you were in the UK in the 60's at least) and Vicki Brown (famous in the Netherlands apparently!)
• Became famous in the late 80's with the hit single "Stop!" and a number of successful follow up singles.
• Was backing singer on Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour in 1994
• She's still going, still sounds fantastic and still looks amazing.
• Sings a lot with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
