My work blurs the boundaries of the two and three-dimensional through various techniques and materials. Seemingly flat lines and forms protrude into space. Caught in this spacial ambiguity, the starkly silent, yet distinctly present characters appear aware of their odd predicament. Devoid of context and stripped of external identity, they are portraits of souls - ageless, anonymous, and solitary. Their longing stares serve as a mute communication from which a distinct visual and psychological intimacy emerges.

I created the Lighter of the Month Club as a unique way to distribute my artwork and to transform disposable lighters into collector items. For a nominal yearly fee, members get mailed 4 stickers a month with a cool design perfectly sized for BIC lighters. Members also get advanced notice about the monthly premieres, usually at a Seattle bar, where we check out the latest design, hang out, drink whiskey and maybe even pick-up real lighters. Content-wise anything goes, but it's hard to get away from robots, monsters, science fiction, and catastrophes.

Evan says "most would cringe at the idea of scratching or sanding something they spent hours painting, but that's my favorite art - creating the appearance that this wasn't made in the 21st century." And he's a self-taught artist, no less. You can view his work on his website at www.evanbharris.com, and you can buy prints online from
Charmingwall.

Zoltron is an enigma. A self proclaimed 70's teen idol, Zoltron's wave hairdo and unique California accent epitomized a certain level of cool, which inevitably paved the way to his success as a graphic designer, poster and street artist, pretend photographer and vinyl sticker aficionado. Zoltron is the founder and creative director of the infamous self-titled design company as well as notorious silkscreen sticker printing company, Sticker Robot. Zoltron's artwork has been shown across the country, published in magazines, both nationally and internationally and was once called, "Pretty heavy" by a transient who was urinating on a dumpster, as Zoltron walked by.

Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Morgan Thomas has spent the majority of her life in observation of the people around her. She has studied art and art history around the world and graduated in 2007 from Williams College with two degrees (in studio art and sociology). Thomas' main subject is human but strives to examine more emotion and communication than the classic portrait. Utilizing a semiotic vocabulary built up through the existence of the human race, Thomas records the world around her as she perceives it visually and spiritually. She aims to communicate to her audience the honest image and heartfelt meaning of a moment in time as it can be understood through form, color, and symbolic imagery. Thomas' work is sociological, allegorical, and historical record. It does not try to comment on an event, but rather represent it for the audience to bring judgement to.

I was raised by a television in suburban America. One of my first memories is the colors of the cereal aisle flashing by as I rode in my mom's grocery cart I'm more likely to notice an ad on the side of the highway than the forest behind it.

I am interested in showing the difficulty and discomfort in fully understanding a person. I leave my subjects incomplete to highlight their limitations, as well as my own inability to see the subject beyond the influence of myself.

Nicole Ray, an Ann Arbor-based illustrator, makes cheerful, quirky drawings often inspired by words: song lyrics, a funny phrase overheard in a passing conversation, poetry, a newspaper article, fairy tales. She focuses on line work and unusual combinations of unlikely pairs: a giraffe in roller skates, a fish dropping from the sky on a balloon, hair that turns into a river.

My body of work is mostly founded on shapes, figures that I try to rediscover and to give them a different meaning. I make use of decorative elements in many of my works at the same time trying to keep in focus the subject that I am using. The use of ornamental motifs is mainly to counterbalance the shape/non-shape relation. One of the things that defines my artistic personality is the unfinished look of my works, the raw quality of the paintings which are the original sketches.
