Creating art has been Mark Newman's passion ever since he can remember. It grows stronger within him over time. The art he creates manifests itself in many different genres and styles never really settling in just one for very long. From commercial work for hire to his personal fine artwork, the drive to make it his best effort for each project stays consistent. Making Art keeps Mark alive and sane.

Shane Stover have been an artist his entire life. He started off drawing and painting as many others do. He has grown up with ever expanding digital, and technology driven artistic materials, and much of his work today reflects his artistic journey with the transition from traditional to the digital. Shane's work can be surreal, ironic, and often times dark. As a designer for the film industry, he has experienced the shift from traditional to digital mediums and have embraced both.
