Aaron Scamihorn

The work of Aaron Scamihorn is very interesting to me. His compositions are retro in style and the subject matter is often related to popular culture. The image to the left is taken from Aaron's first solo gallery show entitled 'Freaks & Geeks'. The intention behind the show was to exhibit Aaron's love for portraiture mixed with interesting and unique faces, and I would say it is a resounding success. Though Aaron is technically a fine artist with all the portraits in the show being hand rendered, his process is incredibly interesting. He actually combines hand painting with screen printing, but most importantly states that the origin of all the pieces is computer based. Therefore his work could be considered graphic design, and qualifies as an inspiration for me.

The rest of his amazing work can be found here.
