 Steve Cartwright
It's well known that an artist becomes more popular by dying, so I'm typing this with one hand while pummeling my head with a frozen mackerel with the other. I've done art for several magazines, newspapers, websites, commercial and governmental clients, books, and scribbling - but mostly drooling - on tavern napkins. I also create art pro bono for several animal rescue groups. I was awarded the 2004 James Award for my cover art for Champagne Shivers. I recently illustrated the Cimarron Review cover. Take a gander ( or a goose ) at my online gallery: www.angelfire.com/sc2/cartoonsbycartwright. And please hurry with your response - this mackerel's killin' me! Your pal, Steve Cartwright.

Born in New York and lives in Korea. Strongly denies being a Communist, a terrorist or a spy. Used to hate manipulation, unfinished sentences and having to read between the lines, but now loves manipulating, not letting people finish their sentence, lying, cheating. Feels free to do so because of Article 1 of the Constitution. Has set two goals in life: becoming a millionaire and global citizenship. But it seems as though he will live paycheck to paycheck and will have to apply for visas for the rest of his life. Iraq is a failed state, Akli is a failed human being. Maybe society placed the bar to high. |

 Paul Lightfoot
I am writing pieces about humans their environment and the many curiosities and these writings are painted onto canvas. They are stories which draw attention to certain aspects of our life giving them a more significant meaning. Love, death and the fundamental nature of things are looked at almost as if with a cursory glance but the thought provoking stories leave a vague sense of a question mark, encouraging to be looked at again. The effect is to look at ourselves sometimes humorously, sometimes with irony but always with consideration to who we are. My title for this work is Prevailing Winds.

The end of all things is my darkest fear and fondest wish. I need front mounted twin machine guns for my car when I get stuck behind those bloody old drivers round this way.
