Hannah Stouffer
San Francisco-based illustrator and designer Hannah Stouffer constantly strives to define the term "classic" and explores how it relates to our modern attractions. She draws inspiration from traditional notions of luxury and elegance, and engages them as the basis for her work. Her self-taught design sense and style of illustration, combined with her themes of Victorian imagery, royalty and pop culture, distinguish her as a definition of classic contemporary. Stouffer defines her illustration style as an exploration and embellishment of subcultures- and her work clearly presents that combination. The study of subcultures, their symbolism, and their unification with contrasting, unconventional imagery and decoration create the compositions in Hannah’s work. She draws inspiration from historical eras, lapsing all the way from Antiquity, through the Middle Ages, to Modern times- all the while maintaining an awareness of current attractions and tendencies. It is her skill at engaging these together that provides the basis of her work. Read more about Hannah Stouffer on 1800tequila.com » -

Alexa Polito
"Rock in the UK" - Great Britain is a place where innovation is born amidst institution, where tradition thrives alongside anarchic creativity. Punk music shares its roots with royalty, uniforms clash with chaos. This is a discord that Britain rocks. More about Alexa Polito & Transatlanticism » -

Michael Capozzola

Mael's art leads the audience deep into her world with a lasting impact – it tells you a story, it pulls you into the depth of the characters that are not just passing by. It evokes and wakes something in the mind of the audience and leaves footprints. The stories told in the form of Mael’s artwork will lead the viewers to feel something else – another story teller, that’s who she is. - You will find ‘something’ in her work that moves you. More » -

S. B. Stokes
I'm not gonna go into some esoteric treatise on what art is, or is not, for me. I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon at 2 years of age. I've been making paintings and illustrations for a long time as well, most of them involving the computer lately. I hope you enjoy my use of color and line and I hope that the joy and satisfaction I get from creating these pictures comes through. Thanks. More »
