chronicler of bulldogs and interstate trucking. He is also proud to continue the 17,000 year old tradition of mammoth painting, and hopes to spark a resurgence. His deadpan, pop-flavored, post-ironic approach is the result of millions of years of evolution. He aspires to be worthy of the title "gentleman farmer." He is undaunted by the inevitability of death and the ultimate futility of all human endeavor.

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.

Entertainment is defined as a thing that interests, pleases or amuses. It's my goal to accomplish these very things and to communicate or touch the viewer on some level making them laugh, smile and cry simultaneously. I use distortion as a tool to emphasize and amplify quirks and feelings to push emotions within the viewer in hopes of revealing to them the magic that takes place everyday in our lives. Ultimately, my paintings are about crazy, whimsical characters performing acts from the ordinary to the extraordinary, experiencing hidden emotions that are both hilarious and tragic at the same time.

Zoltron is an enigma.

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.

My work is a mixture of my life experiences and interests, combining my love of cultural, personal, and traditional histories with contemporary issues of gender. How do we look at each other? At ourselves? As a young woman, I am intrigued by what it means to be a woman. I have been exploring traditional and nontraditional materials to examine these issues. Using whatever materials I can get a hold of, I find a way to make them tell a story.
