I create art because I feel it is what I was meant to do in one form or another. My creations are diverse and versatile each with a subject that represents beauty in surreal and expressionistic ways. I am constantly practicing and studying art. I am influenced by many Classical and modern art and am constantly working on new ideas and polishing my style and work.

My art is an attempt to re-randomize what has become normal in our lives. I practice automatic art techniques because i feel this is what connects us to the most inner, tender and important areas in our lives. It is my aim to produce art that can be interpreted in many ways, art that can be looked at again for new meaning. I work with a
mixed media, because i think this works very well for an "automatic yet detailed effect". I believe there must be order in chaos.

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 work tends to explore and highlight the innate, underlying qualities and structural nature of the materials I use. Just as fractal geometry can be used to mimic nature, natural materials can exhibit their own fractal traits.
I began to sell my kites in the 1980's after a serendipitous meeting with the well known matron of the Chicago Gallery scene, Ann Nathan, who at the time was . She was very kind to allow me to show at her gallery in the River North area.
I've also exhibited in various galleries and venues in the Chicagoland area.

My artwork explores our interaction with the natural and built environment. Recognizing and appropriating the space we inhabit, can make us more aware of how we interact with it and people, and responsible when using natural resources. Humans are territorial by instinct, and not being fully aware of our space causes many social, environmental, political and economical problems. We want to think that we are free, but we are really conditioned by the space that surrounds us, and the better we understand it, the better we can pursue our goals.

My art making process is loosely based on my interpretations of the small issues that are faced everyday; ultimately it is those decisions that are stocked piled into our entire existence. I have found that it is the small or seemingly insignificant things from our experiences that bring about the most beauty.
In my work there is a continued focus on the natural elements in life. It is in those elements I believe we learn the most about ourselves and the environment around us. I hope to capture those split second emotions, thoughts, hopes, and sorrows and place them in a space to be preserved, where otherwise they would be without doubt mentally discarded.

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 play with the art-school basics of primary color schemes and geometric planar studies, combining both pencil drawing and digital techniques.
As an advertising creative director, I look to communicate a single powerful concept with my illustrations. I keep my subjects simple in order to maximize their impact.

The language of myth allows a story to be a part of a wider universal context. Although these stories may resonate very closely with me on a personal level, their creation derives from collective material and their power lies in the meaning and the broader truths that myths convey. Culled images from magazines, books, and newspapers are manipulated and reassembled in order to activate the archetypes that lie therein.

My name is Andrew E. Yang, my nickname is Stitchmind. My work focuses on the idea of personifying mental emotions into cute, ghostly-yet-tangible creatures that follow humans around. The characteristics of these creatures pair the pleasant with the disturbing in an attempt to illustrate the balance of positive and negative experiences people go through everyday. Most of my art is created using an obscure method of layering sliced vinyl sheets and stickers on glass or plastic. I currently reside in San Francisco while my work has been exhibited and sold all around California and Montreal, QC.

My work is all about the little things, conglomerating into a mass that represents the meeting place between imagined and actual events.
I try to acknowledge the beauty and humor that results from the human tendency to attempt to control chaos and nature, while simultaneously venerating them.
My perspective is distinctly human, reveling in all of its limits, trying to eek out a perception beyond them.

To appreciate art requires only one of your senses and a soul. To create art there is no prerequisite other than the desire to record your world through your eyes. The artist's demise is taking himself or herself too seriously. Just tell your story and move on.

In my work, I explore inter-personal relationships and the effect of an individual's actions on the surrounding human landscape. I am an observer, a listener, a story collector, seeking out the details in the patterns and cycles of our lives. The Direct Action Art Project featured here, is work that disrupts its audience forcing a shift in thought and perspective, causing a new series of events to unfold. These original
mixed media and silkscreen collages will replace ads on the F-train. A kind of removable graphitti, the viewer will find the works placement unexpected and even slightly invasive. Ultimately commuters are the "judges" of the work, as they can remove them to destroy them, keep them for themselves, or allow other's to enjoy them. Direct Action Art is a catalyst for thought and action.

My work defies traditional digital art practices by bringing the work back to its root through handheld techniques and painting. The work emerges from digital photography, then it's composed and manipulated in the computer, finally being transformed onto canvas by hand. My challenge is merging technology and graphic aspects with a variety of traditional mediums. My subjects are personal photography of world cultures gathered from my experiences. Being based out of NYC this has been the perfect environment to explore and grow. My main focus is bringing culture and tradition of the past into a high-spirited, colorful reflection of the 21st century.

The dreamscape of children - toys and play, misinterpretation and wonder, icons of fun and dread, random intrusions, rules and authority, errant words and symbols, wandering furniture, animated animals, games real and imagined, the unknown other - all bound and divided with string painted in, like a window, or dissected present.

"Redeployment" has been created in support of U.S. troops but in opposition to America's continued and escalating engagement in Iraq. This sculpture is a metaphor for the thousands of troops who are respected and are of value to our society, but risk their lives every day in what has become an unwinnable quagmire. Each figure has been finished in gold with a white sash imploring our government to "Bring me home". The figures sit atop a polished black plane, which represents the dangerous, and soul destroying killing fields that our soldiers deal with everyday.
