Pierre-Paul Pariseau
Pierre-Paul Pariseau is an artist and illustrator working for clients in North America and Europe for many years. He also exhibits his personal work regularly. Evoking currents of surrealism and pop art, the creative work of Pariseau invites us into a world of images where everything is possible. From his fusion of collage and digital medium and his visual articulation of thoughts, moods and emotions, emanate dreamlike scenes, strange theatrical dramas while remaining intriguingly accessible. Happy coincidences, anecdotal events inspire the artist in a fantasy that translates into images made of vibrant colours, stunning juxtapositions and hypnotic reveries that are always compelling. His anthropomorphic creations seems to request storytelling but never impose one. Here the creatures are sentient beings, with emotions and personality. They are a metaphor for our behaviour. The intensity of Pierre-Paul’s work confuses and attracts in a way that does not dictate to the viewer, but stimulates the imagination to explore unrestrained. An invitation to discover enigmatic mixed media images that captivate and intrigue. www.pierrepaulpariseau.com
Mai Ly Degnan
Mai Ly Degnan is an illustrator, patternmaker, and pug enthusiast currently based in Baltimore, MD. Originally from a small quiet town in central Florida, Mai Ly grew up surrounded by orange groves and gator paraphernalia. It was there that she learned to appreciate all things old and kitsch. Now days, much of her time is spent with a .005 micron, brainstorming and drawing tediously patterned illustrations inspired by humor, relationships, childhood
nostalgia, fantasy and awkwardness. Prior to freelancing, Mai Ly earned her BFA in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design, as well as her MFA in Illustration Practice at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has been recognized by The Society of Illustrators of New York and Los Angeles, American Illustration, and 3x3. Some of Mai Ly’s favorite things include stop motion, awkward roadside attractions, and John Waters.

Tim Manthey (Cloud Nectar)
“Under the mossy trees of the Pacific Northwest, I have spent the better part of a decade exploring the art of collage with a pair of scissors and a stack of old books. Creating art to me is exploration, practice, ritual, and love. It has taken shape as a series of handmade dream narratives. I look to plumb the depths of forgotten vintage media to cut and paste, striving for balanced visuals that communicate from unseen parts of the collective psyche. My creations are featured on album covers, print and online publications and at venues around Seattle.�
