Ralph Steadman is a brilliant cartoonist and mixed media artist. I first found out about Steadman through Hunter S. Thompson, an author and journalist who is famous for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the "gonzo" method of journalism.

Matt W. Moore is a painter and a graphic designer. Moore is best known for his very wild color schemes and geometrical designs. Matt has done work for Nike, Mountain Dew, and many other companies ranging from local stores to other major businesses.
