By Alexa Meade: My work features painted portraits of people and objects, with a twist. Rather than painting on a canvas, I paint directly onto the subjects themselves. This creates the effect of making 3D installations appear to be flat paintings. From my background in politics, I’ve learned that what you encounter always has some kind of spin on it, and that we can’t always believe what we see.

My model Timmy and I loved watching how people reacted to the living art wandering about on the metro.

Hi, I'm Adam Koford, otherwise known as Ape Lad. I chose the name Ape Lad because that's what my telephone number in Orlando used to spell.

I've since moved on from Florida, but the name seems to have stuck. I'm a cartoonist and have been freelancing for a long time. All sorts of projects: coloring books, greeting cards, gag cartoons, t-shirts, and lots of other things to write home to mom about. I also have a webcomic called the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats, which you can read six days a week at HOBOTOPIA.com.

I also have a day job; I work for Avalanche Software in Salt Lake City. We're a Disney Interactive video game studio. I'm on the story team, and have been privileged to work on some amazing projects, which I'll tell you about someday. Meanwhile, here's a selection of some of my favorite recent and not so recent work:

This is Dr. Morvund, created for the Avalanche Software studio blog. They tend to post a new topic every month or so, and I'm constantly blown away by my talented coworkers.
