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.

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 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.
