S. Fisher Williams

sanaa — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:16:07 +0000

Sean Fisher Williams grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, comics, horror movies, toys and exploring Martian landscapes with imaginary friends. Drawing his entire life, his recognizable style didn’t take shape until his early adult life, where these childhood influences were folded into the Southern Gothic voice of the years spent living in Louisville, Kentucky. Together they create images that are both tragic as well as humorous, as static slices of untold narratives, lost lullabyes or forgotten fairy tales.

Fisher’s work has appeared on rock posters, albums, alternative newspapers and magazines as well as haunting the walls of small venues and galleries in several states. He has published two books of illustrated story-lines and over a dozen of short-run mini comics. Continuing to draw every single day, Fisher still makes time for cartoons, comics, horror movies, toys and exploring Martian landscapes with imaginary friends. He does so now from his home in Denver, Colorado.

Jon Beinart

sanaa — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 21:56:45 +0000

Jon Beinart is a visual artist, best known for his Toddlerpedes (doll sculptures) and detailed graphite and ink drawings. He also publishes art books focusing on the artwork and artists featured in the beinArt collective.

As a child Jon was lost in his imagination and preoccupied with the lives of ants, snails, spiders & mice. This fascination with small worlds continued through his life, often blocking out the larger world around him and this interest is apparent in his art. Drawing is Jon’s oldest outlet and is an obsession that is deeply rooted and has become fundamental to his well-being.

“At the age of four, an eccentric friend of my family often babysat me. She made black and white woodcuts of anthropomorphic snakes with sagging breasts. They were often pregnant and wore nooses around their necks. She told me on many occasions that I was destined to be an artist when I grew up and that one of her snakes, which held a paintbrush and palate, was in fact a picture of me. When I asked her about the rope around my neck and why I had boobs, she said it was also a self-portrait! I found this very confusing. She was a bit crazy but her encouragement contributed to my development as an artist.” – JB
