drawing
I make drawings — a term I use generically and pluralistically. These days, much of what I make are drawings of things that look like they could be actual things, but they are nothing. I think of my drawings as half of the thing that we call art. I think that art happens in your head — it’s somewhere between the thing you’re looking at and what you brought with you. What you bring with you, of course, is all the mental baggage you’ve been accumulating throughout your life right up to the moment you chose to look at what is presented in front of you. An image is a mirror. What we look for in any work of art is a part of ourselves reflected back at us.

My drawings are like photographies of imaginary scenes, suspended moment of lives...

Everything is great.
Everything is terrible.
Everything is manufactured.
Everything is natural.
Everything is truth.

Working primarily in ink and photograph collage, themegoman attempts to connect with a collective consciousness where greater depth can be drawn from his subjects. What at first glance appears whimsical and chaotic, often hides a deeper meaning for the artist or person being portrayed.
Commissions for portraits, illustration, and murals in the Los Angeles area are all welcome by themegoman. Performance, video, and animation projects are also in the works.

My images focus on capturing the elegant spirit of animals expressed through minute details, how fur and whiskers lie, a reflection in the eyes. Each detail fascinates me, finding exciting rhythms of curves, patterns, light, shadow and their relation to each other. Despite each animal's differences from us, we are connected at the most basic level.
Perhaps by peering into their world, we can better understand our own. I continue to explore these wonderful creatures and also venture into new styles and genres. The work posted here spans many years, united through my quest for knowledge and exploration of form.

This work is considered social practice— where a dialog with the public and me is engaged through fake flyers. These pieces are distributed through posting or handed out. I made these flyers with my non-predominate hand with intent to get as many calls as possible. They are comical and serious and are reflective of contemporary art and society. For full portfolio of this series please contact me directly.

I've been drawing since I was two, so it wasn't a real shock when I decided to major in Illustration. I was a mixed media guy until a fateful day in 1988 when I first tried Adobe Illustrator and have been hooked ever since.

I work everyday with photoshop and others design software, but sometimes I need to sketch on paper with something as pencil, BIC, markers...I call my sketches "scarabocchi" (scribble). I'm not a really artist but only a designer that search my own tranquillity on drawing.

Mike Van Waes is an illustrator/writer/artist originally from Connecticut, but currently based in Los Angeles.
Working mostly in pencil, colored pencil and ink, Mike's hand drawn images typically explore expressive characters with a twisted perspective and/or sense of humor. Sometimes, however, a happy-go-lucky image sneaks its way in for sanity's sake.
Mike is also a screenplay writer hoping to combine his words and art in graphic novel form in the near future.

I use various mediums to explore the eerie perceptions that arise from the simple act of living. My paintings churn calm hallucinations into deliciously twisted casualties, and my drawings use the movement of lines to depict nearly-invisible minefields dancing all around us. Visual drama, whether real or imagined, is what connects me to my environment, and is the language I use to speculate about things that intrigue me. Some of my photographs behave like drawings; others I alter to convey a meaning outside the realm of truth. The artwork I create is mostly inspired by the curiosity I derive from watching attraction, distraction, and other forces as they prod us around town.

I use cartoons as a tool to illustrate the everyday life in my head. Sometimes laughing, sometimes tearful, and often violent. I struggle with bipolar disorder and try to use my creatures as a vehicle for expression. I bridge my love and nostalgia for television shows from childhood to my adult reality. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I draw things and keep on trying to.

I am a self-taught artist from the Mississippi Delta. My media include painting, mosaic, drawing, collage and assemblage. I strive to create art that is subtle and expressive, but I often end up producing work that is political in nature. My political art is usually aimed at Fundamentalism or the corporations that control our media and government. To that extent, I consider myself to be working in the tradition of the Southern evangelical folk artist. My childhood was rural, Southern and Mormon. The archetype of the prophet figures largely in my work.

I struggle with the meaninglessness of existence, and I value cosmic wonder / speculative theory of ultimate empirical purpose, as a worthwhile endeavor. Hobbies include tripping hard and playing with claydough, also staying indoors.

I've lived in wrath. I've lived in hedonism. I've lived in celibate seclusion. I've semi-crippled myself seeking to be a soldier. I've loved and lost a brilliant and beautiful dalliance-dancer/Joycean genius. I have feted and I have starved.
At twenty-eight, I take pictures of the inanimate with a borrowed camera. I sketch my unconscious while sipping whiskey at the bar. I write questionable prose when awakened by amorous nightmares. I live, for now, by a rolling green sea, and wonder at what might kill me.
Memento mori,
Eric

I like to make drawings that are hokey and very "warm fuzzy". They're all inspired by people watching around town and image is accompanied by a short text usually describing my thoughts at the time I saw the person in the drawings. I feel like these are self portraits in a a way. I've always thought myself to be an 70+ year old trapped in the life of a 25 year old. I like that they're really accessible and that they seem to blend the distinctions between fine art and napkin doodles.

I am a webcomic creator named Box Brown. I create a webcomic called Bellen! a smart and sweet relationship comic which has hardly any print outlet but is on the rise on the web (boxbrown.com is where it is located). I am looking for publishing, because print is king, but it's still a major struggle to make it as a webcomic artist. A handful of webcomic
artists are making a better living with the webcomics model than can be made with the print model. The interesting thing is that the big comics publishing companies: Marvel, DC and more have no idea how to capitalize on this. The business model baffles them. Why? The content is free to the reader.
