I've been drawing as long as I can remember. At least since I was 4. Although I've used different mediums and methods in the past I've always come back to pencil and paper. I like the texture that I can create with hatching and different pencil leads which you can see in my portraits. I have a place in my heart for digital work but the computer should enhance the foundation of traditional skills and not be the skill itself. Character designs are also a great love for me. I grew up in an animation/comic book/video game dominated era and sometimes it shows. Although, these things don't influence me as much as they once did.

Ex-designer, sometime-teacher, current writer, I've got one foot in the academic door and one foot still bitterly toeing the lines of form & function. I make things from paper, fabric, ink, and words.

I always thought it was funny when asked to provide an artist's statement. I always believed an
artists' work should make its own statement and define itself to the viewer. An artists' work can delve into so many complex themes and these will always vary depending on the audience. If the artist felt the need to further explain his work, then dialogue would seem to a better channel than an umbrella statement. If anything I create happens to resonate with an audience and create an understanding without the need for further words than I am content. If not, then here you have it.

A native Californian, Melissa Contreras grew up dreaming of swimming with dolphins and painting circus posters. She tried to become a marine biologist, but got tired of smelling dead cats in class. She stopped painting because she thought she was not good enough and spent years designing catalogs so she could eat. Melissa started drawing again when she realized not drawing was bleeding her heart and slowly killing her. She began exploring her own creative ideas again, at first doing crafts, and more recently illustrations and painting. Foolishly following her heart, she continues to dream and draw and hopefully, one day, swim with dolphins.

Ever since he could hold a paintbrush in his chubby little fingers, Jim has been a whirlwind of artistic creativity, selling hand painted originals and commissions worldwide. Jim specialises in slightly 'twisted' art (or 'twart', if you will), be it Laurel & Hardy in a mexican stand-off, or a scenic portrait of an 'At-At' being taken for a walk in the park. Everything is created from scratch, by hand, from the initial pencil sketch to the final wibbling masterpiece. Jim likes to write in a confusing third-person way, he hopes you enjoy perusing his works, and asks that you feel free to contact him should there be anything you'd like him to paint for you.

All of my work is based on relationships with friends and family, corporate America, and the cycles life has put me through. Both this jubilance and search for meaning is portrayed through my art. The paintings use bright colors and superficially has a fun style. When one looks closer into the paintings he/she can realize the depths of the messages - deception, greed, corruption, death, unity, perseverance, rebuilding, positive thinking, and faith. The drawings pull from different scenes of my most gruesomely sad and wildly insane moments.
