(liz's bio) I enjoy being a girl South Florida-based freelance illustrator Liz Lorini has been drawing fashion girls since she was a little girl, using a paper doll as a stencil and drawing hair styles and clothing on the outline with paints and glitter. From the dreams of childhood our careers are made! Liz attended the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida with a concentration in Illustration. Aside from her major, she also enjoyed taking courses in Graphic Design and Children's Book Illustration. As Liz grew up, she became inspired a lot by graphic art styles she found on product packaging while she studied abroad in Japan during high school. It was such a visual place, everything had a cute/sexy/fun illustration on it, and every day she went out (even if it was to the grocery store) she was inspired and wanted to draw more and more. She even bought a box of hair color that I didn't even need because she loved the art on it so much!!! Working with Adobe Illustrator she creates crisp, detailed, and fun images that youthful girls and hearts can enjoy. In 2006 she graduated from Ringling and Liz is now a specialist in fashion, entertainment and youth advertising character design. ................................................... (pooka's bio) By day she's Jessica the cool-headed receptionist of a Vagina Doctor. But, by night she's the mysterious POOKA machine. She is one half of An Odd Machine who came from nowhere straight to the top of the art world. Jessica also runs the Starlight Foundation, a home for random animals. She has recently found great success in her POOKA machine persona. She's has appeared in shows at Bear and Bird Gallery, and has even traveled through time. The only people who know of POOKA's secret are her close friends, the other characters associated with An Odd Machine. In fact, the double life has begun to exhaust Jessica. Her Pookster earrings are actually remote micro projectors for Spins. She touches one of the earrings to activate them and says, "Showtime Spins," to cue the computer to project the POOKA machine hologram, and "Show's over Spins," to stop the projection. Spins can project a hologram of anything, and Jessica has often used Spins to get her out of a tough jam or to escape from her rivals. POOKA machine's art shows that there is beauty in everything, from everyday girls to amputees. Her line work is what sets her apart from everyone else. Not only is she talented in line work, she also excels in crafts as well. Now available for sale Pooka Gloss message me for more information. ................................................... (odd's bio) A native of Cat Island, The Bahamas, (though born in Miami during a mainland visit by his parents), Terribly Odd grew up in poverty as the son of a dirt farmer. He had little formal education and at the age of 15 was sent to Miami to live with the natives, in order to forestall a growing tendency toward delinquency. In the U.S., Terribly Odd first experienced the pop culture society that divides the country, a great shock to a boy coming from a place that focuses on the line between innocence and indecency. In Miami he found an unknown determination to find and create opportunities for women in crotch less panties, and naughty children. In his late teens, he went to Savannah, did menial jobs and slept in a bus terminal toilet, peeing in the occasional sink. A brief stint at the Savannah College of Art and Design as a taster of 9volt batteries, he realized his lack of skill or any real talent would be better suited creating "low brow" pieces of art. Odd's work ranges from the surreal to the decaying scenes of sheer horror spanning movies, music, and the unconventional beauty in pop culture. |
