Jamie Odell "JAMIO"

Born in 1970 in the Mid-West, and moved to Northern California as a small child. I have been drawing and painting since early childhood. Bachelors of Arts Degree in Art with honors from California State University Stanislaus in 1998. My artistic technique is highly influenced by the Masters works of Durer, Holbein, Caravaggio, Grunewald and DaVinci. I am also equally inspired and influenced, however, from the many creative endeavors of both visual and literary artists who have dwelled into the darker realms of human psyche. The cover art of 1930's through 1950's horror pulp novels and comics as such as "Weird Tales", "Tales from the Crypt", "Eerie", "The Haunt of Fear", and "The Vault of Horror" have been a tremendous visual influence my work. Vegas has recently held a huge interest in the work of JAMIO. Next time your there, take a look around!

Heather Watts "Art Deck"

With lanterns, torches, halos, hell-fire, sunsets and television sets, Heather Watts illuminates a dark paradise that twists the imagination. Her work explores the relationships between complimentary opposites: life, death, fantasy and reality. Human and animal nature square off against each other through the pageantry of anthropomorphic villains and anti-heroes, rendered with an eye to what they reveal about the realities of our own world. Self-taught in the arts, but holds a Bachelors Degree in Asian Area Studies from the University of British Columbia. A bookish fascination with history, politics, art and religion exerts subtle influence in her art.   Watts began painting full-time in 2003, her work has been exhibited in galleries from California to Florida, including The Shooting Gallery in San Francisco, M Modern Gallery in Palm Springs, Roq la Rue in Seattle, and DC Gallery in Denver.

Tom Thordarson "THOR"

Tom Thordarson, or "THOR" as he is best known by both collectors of his work and the growing awareness in the art community, can truly take your imagination on a journey unlike any other. His life as an artist began when he was just old enough to hold a pencil. An honors graduate in Illustration from the prestigious Pasadena Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Thor was immediately discovered by the entertainment/theme park industry which he remained in for 17 years. Among his many assignments at Disney was the task of the concept design for one of the main "E-ticket" rides for the new Tokyo Disney Sea theme park in Japan called, "Journey to the Center of the Earth," a top rated thrill ride currently in operation. Thor has put aside the entertainment design industry to focus on his art inspired by those early days of tropical adventures that shaped his art and imagination.

Robb Hamel "Velvet Master"

My goal is to create something you can feel. I have a lifelong interest in paleontology, evolutionary psychology, conceptual art, and special effects. After college I spent more than a decade in advertising, specializing in still photography special effects. I left that scene to pursue art. An interest in Modern Architecture led to an interest in Polynesian Pop. My work is designed to visually complement Exotica music, the dark scenery creating a void the imagination can fill with the sounds of the music and the calls of unknown animals. I take a fairly serious classical approach to Tiki art, not the light-hearted style you often see. What I want to capture with my velvets is a tangible mood: the cool radiance of moonlight, the gloomy mist of an impenetrable jungle, the pounding of a waterfall. If you feel drawn in by the atmosphere of one of my images, I have done my job.
