Ken Garduno graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California in April, 2006. Since graduation, he has gone on to work as an editorial illustrator for such clients as: L.A. Weekly, L.A. Citybeat, S.F. Weekly, and Esquire (Russia). Aside from editorial illustration, Ken has also been displaying his personal work in galleries.

Ken's artist statement:
My work is influenced by my daily life. I am very much interested in real life situations, whether they are relationships or any kind of human interaction. I take these situations, and change them around in my mind until they become something of a problem. In a sense, my work becomes my way of answering these problems.

My work is created without much of a planned outcome, and the story behind the work is realized upon completion. I begin a sketch, and go with the first composition. This seems the most effective way for me to come up with an original idea.

Raised on comic strips and cartoons, Kurt drew from the moment he could hold a pencil. He lives peacefully and quietly in Portland, OR, and enjoys the company of 2 grey cats more than that of most humans.

Kurt's artist statement:
I don't take what I do any more seriously than I do a "Marmaduke" comic strip. Simple lines, simple words, a little smile or a sigh each day.

Product Information

Michael C Hsiung is characterized by: large mustache (one of the few remaining facially hairy Asians surviving today) with all of the species capable of reaching one ton or more in weight; herbivorous diet; and a thin yellow protective skin, 1.5-5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; and a relatively small brain for a mammal of his size (400-600g). . Michael is prized for its mustache, sometimes his art. Not a true mustache, it is made of thickly matted hair that grows from the skull without skeletal support. Michael has acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight over any distance. Michael C. Hsiung will probably live to be about 50 years old or more.

Michael's artist statement:
In my work, I illustrate my own imaginative world, a place where creatures of fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and lullabies, which are a part of our childhood and adult culture, interact - be it warring or not.My work addresses gender roles/gender assignment given to mermen, the fragility of unicorn/panda dynamics, domestic violence between centaurs and unitaurs and the underlying threads of violence and danger that underpin all other-worldly societies.These themes are often combined with humor commonly
used by those in dysfunctional relationships. My drawings, primarily white and black, feature the color red and sometimes green because I have limited abilities to establish a dream-like surreal quality or suggest any notions of purity and safety that would unify any art. The titles provide clues to content and interpretation, but they are generally misleading.

A 27 year old artist from the Gulf Coast, Sheesh's work depicts human nature at it's most tragically comedic while leaving the meaning of the painting open to interpretation.

Sheesh's artist statement:
My characters are based on nostalgia for things that have happened to me in my life and travels. With each piece I try for a particular emotional reaction while hoping the viewer can relate their own story to the painting.
