Casey Weldon

His work is intended to give the viewer a sense of nostalgia, something he accomplishes through using elements of past popular culture icons.

Kingdom

Bryant Molloy is an illustrator who is in his final year at Maryland Institute College of Art who already shows much promise. A large portion of his work deals with animal life, whether it be real or fiction. Much of the work is done by first doing an etching, printing the image, then finishing it with adding color, either by hand or digitally.

Into the Lair

It is becoming a rare occurrence for illustrators to spend days, weeks, or even months on a single project, putting meticulous detail into every aspect of each piece, but Lair does it time and time again. His work is all done by hand using basic tools that many have put to the wayside in order to pursue the "superior" use of Adobe products. The refinement of his craft comes from redoing the same part, or a whole piece, over and over until it is perfection. 


With most of his work being done in pen, pencil, and marker, he spends a large portion of this time working on the rendering. This is due to the fact that a large majority of his work is rendered using a stippling method. 


He is definitely an artist to watch in the coming years, he has recently been doing work for numerous bands and promoting himself heavily.
