Aaron Martin - Angry Woebots

noreply@blogger.com (maya) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:13:00 +0000

"Aaron Martin was born on the island Oahu 1977, Hawaii. Most of his childhood was spent growing up and moving from Southern California to Nevada before finally landing back into Hawaii during his Junior year in high school.
In 1999 a car accident changed everything; this life-threatening experience inspired him to leave the island once again, this time to Seattle, Washington. Inspired by the rain and being indoors, he started playing around with different art mediums again. He then left back to Hawaii with a new perspective,
" I almost left that night, being trapped in metal changed everything. Almost ten years later but its just like it happened yesterday life's been crazy and unbelievable I been blessed with the best Family and Homies ever, on top of that I been rocking out full time doing what I love just painting and meeting the coolest people."

"I was born and raised in rural Central Oregon and gained a deep respect for the outdoors at an early age. Painting and drawing were always a passion, and I decided to pursue my interests in art and nature by attending school in Bozeman, Montana. After graduation, the city beckoned, and I moved to Portland to pursue a graphic design career designing tee shirts and apparel for adidas. After a few years of computer design I began to draw and paint with more frequency, and soon began putting together an occasional show. My interests continued to move in a hand drawn direction as I strayed from computer illustration more and more. After four years, my wife and I decided to move back to Bend, Oregon to pursue a more active lifestyle and a freelance career in illustration. Two years later my client list is growing continually, the work keeps coming, and I still manage to put together an occasional show." (interview by hellonekko.com)

Alessa Esteban

noreply@blogger.com (maya) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 00:15:00 +0000

Alessa Esteban is living and working in Mexico City, where she has her own label called "ArTwisted Projects". She studied visual art at the Fine Arts Academy „La Esmeralda“ in Mexico City
"I work in three art medias: Drawing, Painting and Photography. I'm very interested in Sigmund Freud's theories in Psychoanalysis. But my art work is deeply connected to my own childhood and my sisters. I have two younger sisters whom I have always felt very responsible for."
"I'm very interested in creating images that look sweet and beautiful at the first look, but when someone takes a second look into it, they unravel damaged and crooked meanings. This perverse side of the image contrasts with the sweetness of the line in the drawing. It looks like clean drawings, clean lines, representing scenes with girls. Soft colors in the atmosphere, with deep psychological content, showed in the girl's attitude."
Alessa Esteban had a very serious copycating issues with another artist Mariana Magdalena (featured below). If she is right or not...Well, judge for yourself. I personally like both artists.

James Jean

noreply@blogger.com (maya) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:31:00 +0000

An artist currently living in Los Angeles, California.
"Using pictorial conventions from such varied sources as Japanese Woodblock prints, Northern Renaissance paintings and etchings, Chinese scroll paintings, Shanghai advertising posters, comics, anatomical charts, and vintage printed ephemera, Jean's images evoke a sense of fantasy and the subconscious, seductive in its delicacy and sensuality. Beyond these sources of inspiration, there is a fundamental drive to circumscribe the sublime and the profane in drawing and painting, regardless of the context within which the work exists."

"I am based in the south west of England, in the city of Bristol.I graduated in Fine Art, painting from Glasgow School of Art, then spent the next 10 years bringing up my three children, and despite this being a very very full time job I was determined to squeeze some creative time in (usually when everyone is in bed!)These stolen hours allowed me to explore knitting and sewing, both taught to me as a child by my very talented mum and along with endless drawings and sketches I was soon churning out ideas."
