Adoniah Haslam A.K.A Syahi - Illustrator, Painter and Publisher 

I am an illustrator from Derby with a deep passion for abstraction and surreal art, heavily inspired by my spiritual upbringing in religion. As a postgraduate of the University of Derby, where I specialized in illustration, I initially started my journey as a freelancer. Over the years, I have worked on various projects, including mural commissions at Littleover Community School and illustrating the Derby Book Festival 2024 programme. My creative process is grounded in exploring colors to achieve specific tones and moods, and I primarily use traditional methods, with ink and acrylic being my main mediums. Additionally, I am the proud creator and publisher of my own comic book series under the brand Sy-Craft Comics, where I blend my unique artistic style with compelling storytelling. Through these experiences, I have developed a distinctive approach that reflects my artistic vision and spiritual influences.
