She's also an avid Venture Brothers fan, a retro video gamer, collector of arty-indy comics, infrequent participant of the "goth" scene, and girl adventurer!

Erik Jones
Erik Jones attended Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida where he majored in illustration. It was here where he developed a passion for... Okay, let's be honest. Erik is a loud, obnoxious jackass who enjoys drinking and drawing, but mostly drinking. You can normally find him in his studio slaving all day and night on a piece that in a strange way resembles your girlfriend or wife, most likely because it is your girlfriend or wife. This bastard's got over 20 gigs of photos of every female in your family on his computer which he uses to create this porn-like "art" that he so innocently calls "fashion pin-up". I guess the only thing nice you can say about this schmuck is that he knows what he's doing and will get the job done. So if you want an amazing painting and a hangover meet up with this guy, or don't... whatever, I'm sick of typing.

Dave Ryan
David Ryan Born, 1965, Bayonne, New Jersey. Raised on a menu of comic book culture fused with iconic Rockwellian imagery, Dave Ryan began taking art lessons as a child and at the age of 18 saw an exhibition of Vincent van Goghâ??s postimpressionistic paintings, which helped inspire him to become a painter. His body of work focuses primarily on painting portraits, fusing a realistic, larger than life iconic image laden with a Lichtenstein-esque undertone adorned with semi-impressionistic techniques. These images represent a very human, undeniable view of the subjects, given the scale of attention to the brushstroke itself, while also presenting a rather grand, iconic view of the sitters, given the monumental and confrontational quality of the works. He has received his BA in 1991 from New Jersey City State College, in Jersey City, NJ.
