If you like their work (and they’re still alive!) please support them!
Jason Soles
Jason Soles is a sculptor based in Seattle who has just come off of a Kickstarter campaign to fund his new book Apocrypha. From his bio:
My work reflects my obsession with antiquity and the passage of time; through it I explore tradition, myth, and belief. Spanning the gamut from the pharaonic funeral masks of unknowable space gods to the tactile remains of pre-Christian deities, my sculptures are the relics of fantastical civilizations and lost tribes.
Shawn Langley
Shawn Langley is a freelance comic/concept artist from southern Ohio. From his bio:
I’ve been drawing comics for years, but what I’ve loved drawing the most is the bizarre. I I’ve always loved drawing the things that came from my own imagination, and those things always seemed to lean towards the horror genre. I love monsters, aliens…things with claws…things that creep you out, or give you nightmares.
Liv Rainey-Smith
Liv is a printmaker who produces handmade woodblock prints. From her bio:
