Geo Brawn

11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Born in the City of Angels (and Demons), California in 1975, Geo (even at an early age), discovered his need for creating art. Graduating from West Covina High School with a scholarship in illustration, he attended the Pasadena Art Center of Design, even further developing his style in the craft. Then following, Geo studied graphic art in Long Beach. He began developing ways on just how to bring his ideas and stories into a particular medium. Ways to bring his creations to life.
In 2002, Geo found that medium in one of his first artistic loves, comic books. Starting with his first character and from there, the formation of an entire universe of characters had begun. The stories and creations Geo had were now forming in this perfect art form.
Now Geo has collected a series of those stories in comic book form. With his passion for horror and fantasy, the stories he can and will tell are unbound as indy-comic books and graphic novels done his way.

Nathaniel Osollo
Saturday, May 2, 2015
11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Many years ago, on a distant star, a small boy was born. His home was one of intellectuals, artists, poets, and storytellers. The boy became schooled in the arts. Such faith he held in them that they granted him great power. With the arts he could move worlds and open minds. One day a traveler from the future appeared to the people of the star and proclaimed, "There is no future in art." Disillusioned and distraught, the society fell apart. Creativity disappeared and was replaced by economics and politics. The boy got a real job. It was boring labor and lacked creativity. He couldn't remember the past. No one could. But no matter how bleak, he had a future. One day the boy, now a man, was fired and everything came back to him. He remembered the arts. He is rebuilding his power and is coming to restore the creative world again.

After attending college he Started Blaqwata Studio. He has done many portraits, and illustration projects,as well as exhibited at various galleries. . His art represents the essence of his life experience. All of Demar's images appear to him in dreams and he interprets them with the stroke of a brush. During his early career Demar assumed the name Blaqwata to find his artistic voice. During that time he explored many different styles and themes in his art. It wasn't until some life changing events took place did he find that voice he had been searching for. The metamorphosis took place December 26th 2008. Frederick Douglas once said that without struggle there can be no progress. Demar now Armed with paint, canvas and a new perception of life, intends on taking the viewers on a exploration of the imagination.Demar feels similar to Joseph from Genesis. These life-inspiring images keep recurring to him until he paints them out of his mind. Demar paints stylized surrealism within an abstract composition finding the beautiful struggle though life's opposition. You may view his art at www.DemarDouglas.com
