Jared Connor -- A standout member of Texas' newest generation of rock poster luminaries, Jared Connor creates posters with that irrepressible irreverence native to the Lone Star State. After years of late nights, last calls and paying his dues in the live-music clubs of Austin, he began producing his own posters in 2000. He founded his studio, Mexican Chocolate Design, shortly after that. With a graphic vision born in Texas and forged in the fires of the Gulf War, and a graphic vocabulary refined by his early schooling in commercial art and screen-printing, Jared refuses to make posters that are trite or trendy self-indulgent tripe with no connection to a band's music and fan base. He creates honest posters. Today he counts among his clients The Mars Volta,Turbonegro, No Warning, Honky, Warner Brothers, Universal, Roadrunner Records, Teepee Records, Gyro Worldwide, Tribal DDB, Arclight Records, Josephson Engineering and Capita Snowboards.

Jason Beam For the past decade, Jason Beam has been working in the digital art medium, creating intricate illustrations through computer generated means. Combining photography, found objects and hand-drawn elements, his frenetic detail and unique style has established him as a prevailing artist in the digital medium. Jason Beam’s combination of surrealism and photography creates art that cannot be created in the darkroom or with software alone. The end result is a dreamlike environment that is strangely and captivatingly unique.

Coop (real name Chris Cooper) s a hot rod artist working from Los Angeles. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1968, and describes his occupation as "Insensitive Artiste". His work consists primarily of barely clothed Bettie Page-style 50s soft pornography and/or B-movie monsters, with the female characters often taking the role of "Devil-Women". The image most often associated with his work is however slightly more tame; the face of a grinning devil with a smoking cigar clamped in its teeth. His work shows a distinct sense of humor which tends to soften the impact of the subject material, so that often a piece which could have been considered offensive actually becomes rather benign and light-hearted.

Justin Hampton has been creating high impact imagery since his arrival on the art scene in 1990. He began his tenure in Seattle working for famed graphic designers Art Chantry and Jeff Kleinsmith at the Rocket Magazine. A decade and a half later, he is renown as one of the leaders in the modern rock poster scene and has garnered international attention.

Mark Ryden His work combines a saccharine cartoon-like sensibility - much like the doe-eyed Margaret Keane creatures of the 1960s - with a detailed fullness and a creepy combination of numerology, little girls, Catholic and Buddhist symbolism, and carnivalesque Americana. His work ranges from large highly-polished oil paintings to small black-and-white works on paper. Like modern illustrators Sir John Tenniel and Edward Gorey, Ryden is influenced by the fantastic art of Alice in Wonderland and early Renaissance landscapes.

Tara McPherson is a bisexual painter, comic artist, poster artist and freelance illustrator based out of New York City. A recurring motif in her work is a person with a stylized heart-shaped hole through their chest in the place of an actual heart. McPherson's array of art includes painted covers for Vertigo comic books and graphic novels, advertising and editorial illustrations for companies such as Fanta and Spin Magazine, and numerous gig posters for rock bands such as Green Day, Modest Mouse, Isis, High on Fire, and Death Cab for Cutie.

Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, identical twins, would work together and separately, winning awards, fame, and challenges as illustrators. They would create everything from the world famous poster for Star Wars, to the best-selling calendars illustrating J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, to their own fantasy novel, Urshurak. They also worked on advertising art, hundreds of classic children's books, and the covers of numerous fantasy and science fiction novels.

Andrew Bawidamann cheesecake pin-up art through his graphically oriented girls. Although his girls are reminiscent of a time when men were overseas at war, depending on their pin-up prints to satisfy, Bawidamann’s girls offer much appeal to today’s soldiers, tattoo artists, bikers, rockers and just about anyone with a fetish.

Molly CrabappleMolly's retro pen and ink work is a riot of detail and dirty jokes, like an R. Crumb in Victorian England. From bright and beautiful oil paintings of burlesque queens to charming drawings of Parisian cafes, Ms. Crabapple is poised to explode.

Michael Mararian he creates macabre, black and white ink drawings called Inky Dreadfuls. Drawing from a diverse range of influences to deliver his peculiar ink work, Michael cites artists such as Edward Gorey and Lewis Carroll to darkly rearrange our fondest visions of childhood naivete and bygone days in an attempt to allegorize the lost innocence of our modern times.

Tom of Finland Foundation In 1984, the non-profit Tom of Finland Foundation was established by Durk Dehner and his friend Touko Laaksonen a.k.a. Tom of Finland. As Tom had established worldwide recognition as the master of homo-erotic art, the Foundation's original purpose was to preserve his vast catalog of work. Several years later the scope was widened to offer a safe haven for all erotic art in response to rampant discrimination against art that portrayed sexual behavior or generated a sexual response. Today the Foundation continues in its efforts of educating the public as to the cultural merits of erotic art and in promoting healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality.

Butt boy Music Voted “Cool Composer” by Rolling Stone Magazine, Butt Boy composes original dungeon music for kinky Leather “playtime”. The latest of his nine (9) dark rhythmic CD’s is Best Of Butt Boy, a compilation CD of Butt Boy’s head-trip music chosen by his fans. Unashamedly telling of his start, the kinky composer says, Lyrics get in the way when you’ve got someone gagged and tied to a cross. And you don’t want happy be-bop music ruining your nasty mood. So I started composing music for me to do those bad-boy things to my submissives.
