Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. I grew up in a small town in Illinois. My friend built me a gaming PC in high school, and introduced me to Photoshop. I played with the program between school, working at McDonalds and band practice. Eventually I started getting non-paying freelance work here and there. Since then I have taken every job that has ever been offered to me. I have been working with venue promoters, merchandising companies, sports companies, apparel brands, and musicians for the past six years. Creating prints is something I'm really passionate about. It's a very nice change of pace from design work. Hours: Wed - Sun: 11 AM - 6 PM Mon & Tues: Closed
