- Ransom & Mitchell is the fine art nom de plume for the artistic collaborations of Jason Mitchell & Stacey Ransom. Director-photographer Jason Mitchell and set designer-photo illustrator Stacey Ransom create highly-detailed and visually-lush portraits & scenarios. Their work is narrative in nature and draws upon the darker undercurrent that exists within all aspects of society. They aim to create worlds that cannot exist, through a unique combination of cinematic lighting, theatrically designed sets, and an illustrative approach that is inspired by the Italian and Dutch Master painters. The resulting digital art blurs the lines between traditional photography and classical painting so the viewer is unsure as to what is "real" and what we created either as sets & props or as digital painting.

- Lacey Bryant is a San Jose artist who paints weird things. She works in a variety of media, oil paints being her favorite. She paints primarily on wood surfaces, often utilizing found wood for the unique textures and history they offer. Her subjects are often dreamlike, inhabiting a realm of strange, nostalgic sweetness with undercurrents of darkness and mystery. Each piece is a bit of the middle of a story for the viewer to interpret in their own way. Contrasting cute with creepy, familiar with odd, Lacey sets out to quietly captivate and unnerve her viewers through the underlying tension of her work.

- My work seeks to explore the nature of humanity and to express the inherent complexity and mystery of our relationships to the world we live in and to each other. Combining familiar imagery in unfamiliar ways, I invent scenarios that can be thought of as puzzles with no right or wrong solutions—and perhaps no solutions for them are possible at all. These puzzles are analogous to the changing and perpetually unresolved nature of life itself.
The multiplicity of possible readings of symbolisms in my work is central to my concept. However, there are certain elements that I see as being symbols or metaphors for specific aspects of human experience. In my sculptural work there is a particular emphasis on the play between the interior and the exterior. Small figures timidly peering out through windows and doors from inside hybrid architectural/bodily forms symbolize a human desire for an unattainable sense of security. The mysterious, hidden, interior spaces of my sculptures speak about the disparity between our external appearances and the aspects of our inner selves that are unknowable by others. The scenarios in my work usually seem to suggest that some sort of performance is taking place, partially due to the vaguely circus-like imagery that I often use. This idea of performance in my work can be seen as a metaphor for the the performance aspect that exists in each of our lives. We each find ourselves in certain situations in which we must “act”. Our lives can be seen as being made up of a series of these situations.
Certain elements in my work make nostalgic references to earlier periods in history. The dress of the figures I invent often recalls styles of the 19th century. Other elements in my work even have a medieval look. I'm interested in this historical quality as a way of creating distance from the reality we are familiar with, thereby encouraging the viewer to use his or her imagination while contemplating these scenarios.
Life is amazingly complex and perpetually filled with unanswerable questions, yet each of us must find a way to make some kind of sense of it all. It is in human nature to simplify the world around us so it can be better understood and articulated, but there is inevitably much that is missed when we do this. It is our condition of limited understanding of reality that prompts us to dream and to use our imaginations. My work addresses this condition. - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- Marie-Eve Proteau works with unconventional materials which abolish the distinction between the pictural and the sculptural. She works with some old retro televisions and gives life back to them by becoming the medium of a representation forever motionless. Some paintings on canvas are also made with this concept and most recently some special series of paintings. A feminine theme prevails in her work in the form of surrealist portraits where the emotions are drawn from the complexity of a relationship between two people; expectation, worry, obsession, secret, domination. The translucent textures are in contradiction with some more disturbing and darker allusions. Her works has been exhibited in Canada, United States, Japan and Switzerland.

- Born September 10, 1981, in Greeley Colorado, raised in Loveland Colorado, David began drawing and sculpting at a very young age. He was brought up in a home where art was highly accepted and his creative mind had free reign. He began creating creatures of the unknown and unseen while still in elementary school. Then, in high school, he started working in art studios around Loveland where he was immersed in all aspects of sculpture and the lost wax process. Since then, David has been published in Amazing Figure Modeler Magazine, Churn an art & music magazine, Gothic Beauty Magazine, and featured on Keith Wigdor Presents Surrealism Now and has shown in many art exhibits. David's art is featured in both public and private collections throughout the USA, as well as England, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong, and Australia. His sculpture has even been recognized by the great and talented movie director, Guillermo Del Toro. David celebrates diversity through his art, working in many different mediums. He has worked with celebrities and even the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. Embracing life-death-rebirth, David's sculptures are very primordial in thought and have very powerful significance. David has dug down into his unconsciousness to unearth deep-seated emotions and thoughts, bringing them to the surface of his reality and giving them life and permanence on Earth.
As well as being a sculptor, David is also a master metal worker. He has worked with some of the greatest sculptors of the 21st century: Kent Ullberg, Fritz White, Dan Ostermiller, Dan Glanz, Wayne Salge, and Randy Hand, just to name a few. He has helped sculpt, mold, weld, and chase some of the biggest monuments seen here in America. "Working with and for these artists has brought me great pride and honor. I have learned so much and owe a great deal of my success to each and every one of them."
In 2009, David opened his own studio doing freelance sculpting & painting. RICHARDSON STUDIO has worked hard to provide quality sculpting for any need. Richardson Studio has covered all areas from animals to aliens, monsters to cowboys. Richardson Studio has worked with world-class sculptors Kent Ullberg and Fritz White as well as celebrities like the famous movie director and author Clive Barker. David has even had the opportunity to sculpt with the SPFX and Halloween prop company Distortions Unlimited in Greeley, CO. David will be featured as a sculptor on the hit television show, "Making Monsters" on the Travel Channel. - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- "As a child I was ok, just a little bit too inquisitive and just a little bit too obsessed by drawing and art history. So when I grew up I got a degree in philosophy and a phd in mathematical logic, and then I decided to follow my lifelong passion for visual arts and thus attended the Fine Art Academy of Bologna (illustration and comics, fine arts). I am geeky. I know that.
In 2009 with Soulfood Community I founded Soupy Records, a project involving both music and visual arts.
I am currently living and working in Bologna, italy. My favourite medium is traditional oil painting, though I enjoy watercolours as well. I paint over canvas, wood panels, old golden frames and whatever I find in my cellar.
I love illustration and fairy tales, old christmas postcards, ancient greek, latin, logic and baroque patterns." ~Erica Calardo - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- ABOUT
I was born in 1983 and grew up in Berkeley California. After High School I attended Humboldt State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree with an emphasis in ceramics in 2007. I’ve been exhibiting and selling work around the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally since 2008. I recieved my Master of Fine Arts degree from San Jose State University in the fall of 2013.
STATEMENT
In observing the creations of man and nature I am absorbed by the grotesque and eccentric, as well as the beautiful. For this reason I’m compelled to magnify their idiosyncrasies. I’m interested in the interaction between various forms and textures both visually and conceptually. Each element of my sculptures brings its own connotations, symbolism, and metaphor, which combine to transform in to new provocative narratives. Through these narratives I explore the interface between man and nature, and suggest a mythology that is based on our modern circumstances.
As I live my life, I collect ideas, imagery, and objects that fascinate me. From this reservoir I draw the inspiration for my work.
Some of my symbolism is obvious and some more obscure, but all chosen to help process and critique the world around me. My work is successful if the viewer is filled with wonderment in the same way that I am seduced by the awe of the things that I experience.
PROCESS
I work primarily with stoneware clay fired to midrange temperature. I build with slabs, armatures, thrown parts, and handmade molds. These molds are made from found, as well as constructed objects and textures. I generally begin coloring my work with a base coat of carefully blended underglaze which is set fired. I then build up layers of stain and dry brushing in order to create more depth, enhance texture, and give richer variation of color. I often use paints, resins, and wood-stains to finish off my surfaces. Sometimes I use mixed media when I need to go beyond the limitations of clay. These objects are either found, constructed or both.. - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- Brenton Bostwick was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area where he currently lives and works. He has studied sculpture and painting at New York University and the San Francisco Art Institute. Having spent his life drawing and painting, it was during his time in college at NYU, he began to seriously study art . During this time, he was deeply attached to the idea of being a painter. From a young age he was drawn to the human form, studying portraiture as well as human and animal anatomy as sources of inspiration for his paintings.
After finishing college he worked as a carpenter and landscaper in San Francisco, and fell in love with working outside and building with his hands. This type of work felt far more real, and resonated with him more than any subject studied in the classroom. At the time his primary focus was still painting. Constantly searching for a more effective way of portraying his visual experience of the world, it was a natural progression to move outside the frustrating constraints of the two dimensional canvas, and in to the world of sculpture.
In 2008, he moved to the north bay of San Francisco and began to experiment with natural found objects as the material for his creative playground. The coastlines and mountains became the source of much of the artistic materials as well as the creative inspiration itself. Using the human form, as well as years of anatomy study as a template, he set out to use the cast off refuse of the natural world to show the beauty of life and emotionality held in both human and abstract forms. Through the process of learning the materials, the enjoyment of abstraction and play with the amazing texture and organic form held within the material itself, became one of the driving forces behind his creative endeavors. With every experiment, a new range of possibilities was exposed. Using nature and the our society as a backdrop, each piece shows the play between our human effort to control the natural world, and the effortless and powerful movement of nature around us. - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- Tim Lane was born in Cheltenham and is now based in Bristol. He graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2004 with a first class (BA Hons) degree in Illustration.
Since then he has been concentrating on fine art painting and drawing, which was for him a natural progression from his degree, but which provides a far greater creative freedom enjoyed in terms of style and subject matter. The degree which focused mainly on book illustration helped to give structure to his love for working directly from his imagination and gives his art its narrative quality. It also encouraged a passion for drawing, which is at the core of all his work.
Tim has sold and exhibited work in various galleries in and around Bristol and has won awards for his painting including the 'Bristol Visual Arts Consortium Award' and the 'People's Prize' Bristol Art Show 2007 at Centrespace Gallery. - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- Jessica Ward is an American artist who works primarily in graphite to create powerful drawings that possess a strong sociological voice. She was born in Agana, Guam on May 14th 1982. Growing up she traveled and lived in many places around the world because her father was an Officer in the USAF. She attended Kendall College of Art & Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan and received a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art -Drawing with a minor in Illustration. She continued to study at Kendall for a Master's in Fine Art - Drawing until moving to Los Angeles, California instead to break into the art world. There she had her first gallery show in 2008, and has been exhibiting her work in galleries internationally since.
Ward’s art work is inspired by eating disorders, which she herself has struggled with with since adolescence. Her work focuses mainly on the female form and portrays women often wrapped in and bound by hordes of the female crowning glory, hair. These magical sorrowful tales are encrypted with messages about human sexuality, compulsion, weight obsession and conventional standards of beauty. Her style is reminiscent of vintage sewing pattern packages and nostalgic fashion illustration as it relates to her ability to beautifully capture the female form and face. Working exclusively in the drawing medium, she uses graphite, color pencils and chalk pastels on paper. It comes as no surprise that Ward's work is collected by artists and celebrities alike, because of her amazing skill in juxtaposing images of beauty and horror all at once. Ward currently resides in Michigan and enjoys playing video games in her spare time. ~ Lana Gentry - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

About Feral Creatures:
A celebratory mix of the real and fantastic, “Feral Creatures” explores connections between the human spirit and the animal kingdom. This exhibition presents contemporary artists whose inherent aesthetic employs beasts both fierce and docile as allegorical vehicles for life's struggles and bliss. Each artist was chosen based on their natural mystique and ability to render beauty and grace with a skillful hand. By shining a spotlight on the wild, these artists allow the viewer to examine our reality through a broad tapestry of myth, imagination and animal behavior. - J.A.W. Cooper was born in England and grew up in Africa, Sweden, Ireland, various other locations throughout Europe, and California. The child of two entomologists, Cooper's love of drawing and curiosity toward the natural world evolved together as they traveled around the globe. Cooper makes a living as a freelance illustrator, gallery artist, and sketch artist and currently lives and works in downtown Los Angeles, California.

- "Art has always been a fascination of mine – a passion, desire, and need. From the moment I could hold one, according to my mother, I would always draw “with a pen, never a pencil”. Though now I’m less selective in the implements I use, I still continue to fill my need to create.
My artwork focuses on the many different facets of life: sometimes mysterious, sometimes playful, sometimes dark and haunting, but always beautiful. It is through the creative process that I am able to explore the undulating changes in the human psyche and to seek out the wonder of life even when it seems like an impossible task. We are on this earth only a short time, it would be a shame not to leave something of ourselves in it.
Ray Bradbury once said, “We never sit anything out. We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.” I couldn’t agree more." ~Catherine Moore - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- "I was born in the Bay Area, and have since lived in quite a few locations. From Californian suburbia to the country of Kazakhstan, I have met some very colorful characters and have been exposed to many interesting experiences, but so far I couldn't be happier living in the city by the bay.

- Michael Cuffe spent 8 years in the Hollywood film industry working for Paramount Studios, as well as other large scale production houses, specializing in feature film development on films such as Constantine, Speed Racer, and various large budget features. After that Cuffe moved into consulting Silicon Valley based .com’s on viral marketing campaigns, SEO (search engine optimization) techniques, creative ad and media campaigns, as well as film production ranging from commercials to extended length media pieces.
Michael Cuffe is currently the Editor in Chief of the contemporary arts documentation project Warholian, which focuses on new and emerging artists around the world. Cuffe has organized a creative crew of writers and photographers to join him in the documenting the ever evolving world of art through studio visits and interviews with the artists themselves.
Cuffe is also an accomplished contemporary mixed media artist best known for his collage styled paper works that are often painted in multiple layers. His fine art work first gained notoriety during the Obama campaign, when his painting “The Hopeful Hearts Club,” his take on The Beatles Sgt. Pepper Album, spread worldwide grabbing the attention of mainstream news media. It received a special White House invitational viewing, has been published multiple times in both books and magazines, and was part of Shepard Fairey’s Manifest Hope gallery exhibitions. -
About this work: Inspired and derived from one of my favorite images of actress Christina Ricci... and some aliens hailing from Zeta Reticuli. I really liked the idea of Dorothy finding herself in a new adventure through space, the cosmos, and beyond. Truly a new chapter of the OZ saga I'd love to see play out!
Process: First archival watercolor paper is attached to panel - sealed and left to dry. I do this because I prefer the texture of oils on sealed paper - something I picked up from a well known artist a while back. The sealing process has to be exacted perfectly for long term archivability, and this is a process I've learned and refined over time. Then the work is painted with oils, and once again sealed upon completion of the painting. - This piece will be on exhibit through May 3, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.

- Ryan was originally trained as an editorial and book illustrator in Philadelphia where he soon began working at a package design firm where he was an in-house illustrator, graphic designer and product mock-up artist for licensed products such as Sponge Bob Square Pants, Dora the Explorer, Kim Possible and Bratz dolls. He quickly realized that supporting a children's product that stressed sex appeal wasn't for him, so he packed it all up and drove cross country to continue his artistic journey. For the past 10 years, Ryan has been an active part of the art community in San Francisco, holding such roles as illustrator, graphic designer, concept artist, fine art painter, muralist, package designer, street artist, musician / performer and adjunct instructor for the Academy of Art University.
When he was 20 years old and weighing a mere 145 pounds, Ryan was a club bouncer at the Jersey Shore...no seriously. He has stories for days. - This piece will be on exhibit through March 22, 2014 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.
