Alex Pardee

This is my number one favorite artist Alex Pardee. I found this artist back in high school and just stared at his artwork and tried to recreate it. I think that is how my drawing style came from is looking at all this crazy artwork Pardee came up with. When I look at his work and see how crazy and unique it is, I see that it is ok for my stuff to not be normal. I really like looking at his pen and ink drawings because he can do so much with just black ink and the page comes to life. I also really like his us of color, he mixes gray tones with this bright colors that make it pop. Alex Pardee has done many things with his artwork like creating the Used Cd artwork, designing t-shirts for Hurley, started a co company called upper playground. He is just an all around amazing artist that I look up to. His website is called eyesuckink.com

Greg Simkins

This is the artist Greg "Craola" Simkins. I really really like his artwork because it is so surreal and out of the box. Just look at his painting and you asking yourself "whats up with this guy". But just the amount of detail in each painting really shows he loves what his does and also every painting has a story behind it. He made a series called the Pearl Thief, that was about a thief who would steal your dreams and Greg made tons of this paintings just to tell the story. But I also like his drawings because they look so amazing and pop right off the page. He is one of my top two favorite artist and here is the link to his website.
