Kim Johnson



Kim Johnson

Kim Johnson Studied art at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. She worked for several years at a graphic design firm, before bailing out to become an animator, which sounded like more fun. It was. She eventually became a director of animation, and got to boss other animators around, which was also enjoyable. She now does illustration in suburban Connecticut, where she lives with her family. Her two daughters, who now boss her around, occasionally let her work as an illustrator.

Rebecca Tillett



Rebecca Tillett

"I'm a very basic human being. Twenty-four years old; gender, female. An only child born of an Aussie and a Yankee raised in the New Mexico desert, finding solace and escaping regularly to my imagination. My dad and I had a rough relatiomship (as was true with him and many others) and he committed suicide when I was 16 before I had the chance to repair said relationship. Ask anybody close to me and they'll confess that that is my largest piece of emotional baggage - and they're not kidding when they say I reluctantly lurch forward with that dragging behind me.
And if it isn't already obvious I tend to be poetic in my writing as I love sounding more glamorous and interesting than I really am. Hey, noone likes a bore, right?
I'm currently living in Colorado with my 'boyfriend' (that term doesn't seem right to me, anymore) of almost seven whole years with our two kitty cats Frodo and Blue. Part of me is so ready to be conventional; get married and have lots of cute-as-a-button babies living happily ever after but the 13 y/o in me is begging that I have mercy on her soul; pleading with her mom for tickets to the Bush show coming to town (with Veruca Salt, no less!) and later writing in her journal about life's shortcomings and how "20" seems so far away and oh, so old.
Yep, that's me. Twenty-four? Whose twenty-four?
But you probably couldn't possibly care less. I'll get on with it. I graduated highschool in 2001 (5 gigantic years ago, gasp!) and graduated with my Associate Degree in Digital Graphics in 2003. Caught up in the romantic notion of school and "doing what you love" I attempted my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design and Photography at New Mexico State. It didn't take me long to decide that I hated it. Most of the teachers I encountered were stuffy, ego-driven and unhelpful and the majority of "art-projects" assigned did little to further me as an artist in addition to a well-rounded individual. Basically, it was busy work and I wasn't in the mood to waste my time.
As of today, I have yet to finish my Bachelor's but sincerely hope to see it through sooner than later, I hope. Until then I'll continue to create as it drives me and is just one of those little things that makes me happy and life worth living. I hope you enjoy my work and very much appreciate you taking an interest."

Nicole Tran Ba Vang



Nicole Tran Ba Vang

Née en France. Vit et travaille à Paris.

"Nicole Tran Ba Vang est styliste mais elle a réalisé une série de photographie où "le vêtement joue l'ambiguïté avec le corps. Il se transforme en habit de nudité, il est en peau et se confond, par endroit, intimement avec le corps pour interroger notre apparence au delà du vêtement, à travers le corps lui-même considéré comme un vêtement. Le corps devient terrain de transformation comme pour s'extirper de son être ou mieux contrôler et manipuler son identité."

Bartolomé Murillo



Bartolomé Murillo

Información de Mas de arte.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (Sevilla, 1617-Sevilla, 1682). Pintor español del barroco. Se forma en el taller de Juan del Castillo y en sus comienzos se aprecia un naturalismo relacionado con Roelas, Herrera el Viejo y Zurbarán. Con el tiempo su técnica se hace más perfecta, debido a la influencia de Herrera el Mozo, su dibujo gana en soltura y ligereza, y sus cuadros se inundan de una luz cada vez más vaporosa y menos contrastada. Crea escenas religiosas tiernas y verosímiles que apelan con fuerza a la piedad popular e ilustran doctrinas de la iglesia contrarreformista. Centra su actividad en Sevilla y desplaza a Zurbarán como principal pintor de la ciudad. Su obra difunde ciertas iconografías como la infancia de Cristo y la Inmaculada, siendo especialista de las escenas protagonizadas por niños. Su obra esta bien representada tanto en el Museo del Prado como en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla.

Robyn Swank



Robyn Swank

Wicked Swank is a company run by Robyn Von Swank. She produces many forms of art, mainly Photography and Cabinets of Curiosities as well as different forms of design. Many aspects of Filmmaking are also of interest to her.
Robyn Von Swank grew up in Victoria, BC, Canada and still currently resides there. From a young age she has always been obsessed with documenting the world around her and ever since she can remember she has had a camera in her hands, or they were busy with making various art projects; sculpting, designing houses and furniture, puppetry, makeup, fashion design, cooking, as well as anything else she could creatively get her little hands on. She wrote her first rock musical with her cousin at age 5. At the age of 9 she promised not to watch TV for a year and her awesome parents bought her a video camera. From then on all she ever did was record little movies and fake commercials. Then she hit puberty and it kind of went in strange directions. But let's skip that. Robyn found her creativity again at age 17 in the form of a 35 mm camera. She began to develop her own film and realized there was something there, so ridden by insomnia, she found Photoshop and merged the two medias to create what she does today. Her friends became her models, and thanks to them, it has allowed her to explore perfect still worlds in each individual photograph.
Robyn is also totally awesome, trust me.
