Andrew R. Shondrick

Our next artist coming in at number 14 is Mr. Andrew R. Shondrick.  

Andrew R Shondrick is an artist currently working in Cleveland, Ohio. 
In 2008 he received a BFA in Painting and Drawing [Bunnies] from The University of Akron. 

Constantly in fear of animals higher than him on the food chain, 
he's sparse to be seen in large wooded areas or southern wetlands. 
Always allured to warm summer breezes and all things drifting in space 
he spends most of his time randomly falling asleep and floating away.

VISEone

VISEone is our 11th artist who comes to us all the way in Germany.  

VISEone is a crazy German artist with a passion for art, toys, cartoons, comics and everything that keeps your heart smiling or puts you on a good mood...

Somehow he made it happen to stay young - his bones hurt more than some years ago - but in his mind and his heart he stays at the mid twenties. VISEone still loves Cartoons, Comics and Disney Classics.

As a child, he would sketch on any paper that came into reach.  Over the time span of his life, he took an interest in graffiti art, illustrations as well as comic strips.  His biggest influences were his mother who drew Disney characters and watch Disney cartoons with him everyday and his friend Ralph Ferres.  In 2008, he took an interest in the designer toy scene.

His work has been seen in The Almighty Dunny Show, Patch Together Series, Disney’s Stitch Experiment 626 and his infamous Tube Dunny, which has been seen on the Custom Toy Union Website.  He is currently participating in the Dem Bonez “The Reconstruction” Show this Friday, March 25 at Zakka in NY.

George Lamontagne

George Lamontagne comes to us from Moncure, North Carolina.  He is a man of science and our tenth artist for the show.

George is a graduate of North Carolina State University with dual degrees in Graphic Design and Industrial Design. After graduation he spent several years working in game design for Redstorm Entertainment in the heart of North Carolina NC where he currently lives. He has always been fascinated with the time in history when "Science" was a field for the outdoorsman. A time when people catalogued the world as if seeing it for the first time. With this sentiment in mind, he creates his art; based on traditions of Taxonomy,Taxidermy, and Biology.

Jay Bramhall

Our ninth artist, Jay Bramhall, resides in Austin, TX.  He is not a robot, unless you don't believe people are a part of the animal kingdom, in which case we're all robots.

But Jay Bramhall is a graphic designer, illustrator, and artist. He can create ad campaigns, business identities, logos, letterheads, T-shirts, basic websites (like this one), acrylic paintings, watercolor paintings, pencil drawings, ink drawings, colored drawings, screen prints, characters, environments, objects, worlds, and universes. Commissions are always welcome!

Jay grew up in a small town just outside of Austin, TX and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts for Graphic Design from Oklahoma Christian University. While there, he crossed paths with the brilliant minds who founded the short lived RedHouse studios, a design firm by day and art lover meeting place by night. After graduating in 2009, Jay unfortunately had to leave his friends behind and return to Austin, where he now looks to exercise his skills with any business opportunity he can find. During his free time, Jay plays video games, reads art blogs, goes bicycling with his dad, and develops his ever growing world of robots.
