jesse reno: i got really super stuck on my artistic heroes so i started out with him because i loved the workshop we did this year. i thought it really helped get us to loosen up, and it inspired me to rethink my art because last year my art was really flat and everything had to be perfect, but this year im trying to do more layering and spontaneous art. also in this piece the monster thing kinda looks like the huge creepy blob from that movie we watched last year on finals day.






salvador dali: i like him because all of his paintings are really surreal and dream-like. i like this one of the butterflies because its still kind of graphic because it uses bright blocks of color, but it also has the foreground and background to make the painting look more realistic and 3d instead of so flat.





eunice kim: i saw her art in one of the galleries when we went on the downtown portland field trip. her art looks like something id do when im bored, because i have a really bad attention span and im always drawing on my hands or on paper when im in class or else i cant concentrate. its simple but complex because the composition is still thought out and there are hundreds of little tiny circles.





gerard marti: i saw his work when i was in the celebrites gallery in maui last year. he does pop art, andy-warhol type paintings of celebrities and icons.






jeff schaller: encaustic paintings! these dont even look like they were done with wax but theyre amazing
