I am an artist that is committed to the expression of children's thoughts, dreams, and fears. I enjoy working with oil pastels and paints, and I am primarily influenced by
artists like Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and children's book illustrators like Brett Helquist. One of my favorites is "the Day I Swapped my Dad for two Goldfish" illustrated by Dave McKean. I am primarily interested in illustration because of the story element. All of my images need to describe a story or event. I hope to grow as an artist over the years and make my illustrations closer and closer to the images in my imagination.

Jason Das wanders the world above and below ground, sketchbook in hand and head in the clouds. These days, most of his work is drawn from life - animate and inanimate - and rendered in ink and watercolor. He values a challenge, and diligently works at reducing the visual world to a series of raw, broad strokes and excruciatingly rendered details.

Chris Lowrance believes dissonance is the visual vocabulary of the 21st century. A professional illustrator, cartoonist and writer, Chris aims to dissolve demarcations of "high" and "low" art in a giant vat of acidic honesty. His work combines traditional drawing and painting, photographic processes and digital illustration techniques to create clashing styles, jumping from photorealism to cartoon abstraction in a heartbeat. These images are displayed in large installations, stretching the concepts of sequential narrative.

My paintings are geared around the ideas of nostalgia, regionalism and normalcy. Being originally from Tennessee, I grew up around the regional art my parents collected. Art based around my own surroundings. After going to Europe I found myself feeling aged, sorting through old family photos in an attempt to gain some perspective on who I was and where I'm from. What was expected of me as an adult? What is expected of me as an American? The truth became clear to me that, as an American, growing up in the South, I shouldn't/couldn't ignore where I was from.

Molly Crabapple likes to draw pretty pictures of mean people, and mean pictures of pretty ones. She draws for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Marvel Comics, and Playgirl, as well as hanging in galleries across the country. Her work is a hyper-detailed, Victorian-inspired take on sex, malice, and artifice- in other words, the stuff that makes New York tick. She also runs Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, a burlesque life drawing session with nearly fifty branches around the world. In her free time, she likes coffee

My interest in line, color and pattern began as an infant, staring at my mother's 70's paisley blouses. Some of the patterns are quite similar to images of unicellular diatoms, sea-borne plankton, snowflakes under a microscope. My favorite art reinterprets life like that: an unbroken chain linking us to cave drawings and records written with hieroglyhs. I dabble in the muddy but fecund waters that slosh between the boundaries of commercial & fine art. I like mixing decorative pattern with scientific diagrams, colors with textures, plants with animals. I enjoy applying these to tee-shirt designs, album art, book illustration.

I'm a 5th semester illustration major at the University of Connecticut. This drawing was not originally skewed the way it is now. It's based off of Silverchair's "Reflections of a Sound" music video which had a modern art theme. I decided to do a portrait of Daniel Johns, of whom I am a big fan, in sharpie, and then place it in a Mondrian-style background. I mostly work in pencil, although I have worked with oils a lot in the past. I'm highly influenced by comic book art, to the likes of Timothy Bradstreet, as well as illustrations by Barry Moser.
