Artist / SG Member Name: Voodou Suicide

Mission Statement: Art can be an escape, a personal thing, a social thing, a way to meet others. It has been all these things for me. I love making and doing things, so I don’t think I could ever stop. Art is a huge part of what makes me, me.

Medium: Mixed media, some favorites include Copic markers, acrylic, fineliners, water colors and my Wacom tablet for computer work.

Aesthetic: Fun, colorful, graphic, most likely containing robots and/or dinosaurs.

Notable Achievements: I won Sappi ThinkAhead Graphic Design Student of the Year. I have passed my ISTD (International Society of Typographic Design) exam, making me able to put MISTD after my name. I have been featured in House & Leisure magazine (South Africa) as a winner of their reusable packaging contest. I have also been an Emerging Creative at Design Indaba (South Africa) in 2009.

Why We Should Care: Cause everyone could do with more fun and robots.

I Want Me Some: Find more of my graphic design on Tumblr and my T-shirts via my Etsy store. I also do commissions. Message me on SG if interested. Or email robot.factory.design@gmail.com

Mission Statement: Aside from drawing as a child, I’ve only been creating art for the last couple of years. I like to take already established images that catch my eye and retell their story from a different perspective. I’m inspired by everything in my environment including art, emotion, people, weather, music, culture, etc… Contrast and a sense of brooding are reoccurring themes in my work. Being manic depressive is also a big influence.

Medium: Paper, photographs, pencil, pen, markers, crayons, books, newspaper, magazines, Photoshop. I have designs on branching out to watercolor soon and plan on taking some introductory art classes to expand the mediums that I work with.

Aesthetic: I am a portrait/character artist by nature. I like to choose images as reference that convey a specific emotion, whether it be by facial expression or body language, and reconstruct that emotion in my own personal way.

Notable Achievements: Aside from selling some works locally and being featured on this site, my most notable achievement is the feedback I get from others. My favorite comment is that my work/style is different from anything they’ve seen. That’s kind of what I strive for.

Why We Should Care: I don’t really care who cares, I create because it is a sorely needed positive outlet and balances me.

I Want Me Some: Right now I post my work on SuicideGirls in the Artists and Fan Art groups and on my Tumblr page. If you are in Seattle and see a flyer for a show involving Big Sur, tear it down and you get some for free. I will eventually sell prints, but I’m not there quite yet.

Artist / SG Member Name: NerdMachine (though I prefer to be referred to by my professional name, Lord Sir Adam Markiewicz)

Mission Statement: To create comics that you might find interesting, that might make you think, and will hopefully entertain you.

Medium: Depends on the illustration. Generally, I use India ink on Bristol board. Sometimes I use PITT brush pens on Paris paper. All coloring is done in Photoshop.

Aesthetic: American comic art.

Notable Achievements: Last year, I wrote and illustrated Casual Fridays, a short comic for Domai.com. The story sucked, but people seemed to like the art.

Why We Should Care: That’s a surprisingly good question.

I Want Me Some: You can find me and my work via my website, blog, Twitter and Facebook. I am available for commission work. You can message me through SuicideGirls, or email me at admancomics@yahoo.com

Mission Statement: My work is an only-spare-time-thing, I do it to recreate from work, from the noise of this world, to make time stand still for some moments.

Mission Statement: Since I was a child, I’ve always loved to draw. I’ve always been attracted to traditional tattoo art; the bold, clean lines and contrast. The designs looked good 100 years ago and still look good today; I love the timelessness. Some of the designs I paint are original drawings. I’ve done a few commissioned pieces, which are a fun challenge. I have a huge library of art reference books (I’ve been collecting for years, and have spent a small fortune!) and I love getting to utilize it. Other times, I re-draw vintage tattoo flash and add my own style to it.

Mission Statement: I’m mostly a fantasy illustrator and a comic artist. I’ve always lived in my own world inside my mind, so when I discovered roleplay games my mind was blown. Now most of my paintings and comics are about it. I want my paintings to be the most believable they can be, thought I don’t want to reach photorealistic results; they’re from imagination and they become alive in a middle way.
