David Em



David Em was born in 1952 in Los Angeles. He grew up in South America (Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina). David studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia, he then studied interdisciplinary art at Goddard College and finally and finally he studied film directing at the American FIlm Institute in Hollywood. David's Art style is anything from ordinary, he was one of the first people to make art of out pixels. His art is a mix of photography, film, sculpture, printmaking and digital worlds. He started producing digital art in the 1970's working as an independent artist in research laboratories, including the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Apple Computer’s Advanced Technology Group. He is the first digital artist to have his papers collected and preserved by the Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Art. Stylistically, Em's art has connections to surrealism, abstract painting, and experimental film. There are also often landscape and architectural elements. Some pieces feature geometric components, while others are organic in nature.
His work is not considered ordinary mainstream art, and to me personally that makes it exciting and inviting. I like being surprised by things that i have never seen before, or thought possible. It is inspiring and most of all fresh.

John Burgerman

John Burgerman started his art career at a very young age, By the time he could pick up a crayon he was drawing. He started off using the walls in his house, but after countless times of getting in trouble he started to use the books in his school. He left quite a legacy of doodles in many of his schools books. His artistic style is not an ordinary one seeing as the art he creates is doodles. Many say he is crazy and that his mind is full of endless ideas. While working on a piece he barley stops to regain his thoughts. He finds himself filling every square inch of the canvas or board with endless crazy ideas. He doodles on an array of objects like walls, cars, figures, canvas, and just about any other object that you could doodle on. Now at the age of 29 he has his doodles on hats and other pieces of clothing and he started to paint a lot more. His style is inspiring showing you that your mind is and endless tool that you should constantly use. No idea is ever a bad idea, and you should let everything come out.

Brandon Rike

Brandon Rike was born January 6, 1983 in Dayton, OH. Ever since he was a little kid he constantly said he was going to grow up to be an artist. When he was 13 he started his own band and said his first band logo was drawn on graph paper in math class. From then on he was designing fliers for the band by hand and he was also using the paint program on his PC. From then on he was constantly taking as many art classes as he possible could. After graduating high school, him and his band went on tour for a couple of years. His band got a record deal in Seattle and from then on went on tour again. At this point he was only designing shirts for his own band, but going on tour allowed him to make shirts for other bands as well. He said he first got paid to design tshirts sometime in 2002 and his band finished their tour in 2006. At this time he took on the graphic design career full swing. As of right now he designs shirt graphics for bands, he does occasional logos, and once in a while he does album art. Brandon loves letters, he loves tweaking them in every which way. He wants his end result to make him just as excited when he comes back to it after a while. Some bands he has made shirts for are Nirvana, Incubus, Underoath,And Kiss.
