Mike Stilkey
Mike Stilkey has always been attracted to painting and drawing not only on vintage paper, record covers and book pages, but on the books themselves.  Using a mix of ink, colored pencil, paint and lacquer, Stilkey depicts a melancholic and at times a whimsical cast of characters inhabiting ambiguous spaces and narratives of fantasy and fairy tales. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States as well as internationally, at galleries and museums










Zac Freeman

The artworks are made entirely out of collected junk, found objects, and general trash. he glues the bits of junk to a wooden substrate to form an image, usually faces, which only can be seen at a distance.It is very important to him that he incorporates the actual objects into the art as opposed to a picture or rendition of it because it better expresses the intention of the artwork. he feels that the junk is more powerful being present.

The Imaginary Foundation
 
The imaginary Foundation is a group  from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They use art as a way to express their views on the brain and its potential. To avoid direct publicity they used clothing as a way to bring their ideas beyond the academic realm and into popular culture.
