Graf-ic Artist/Illustrator: Tes One
Bio: From crayons to krylon, Leon Tes One Bedore has been creating art on walls for the majority of his life. Tes became a serious street artist in 1992, painting murals and graffiti art throughout the Tampa Bay area. In 1999, he expanded on his natural artistic abilities, with that of the computer age, to develop compelling graphic designs for a number of clients. Now, Tes One is combining all that he knows from his street-art roots and his digital design experience, to create works of art that accurately depicts his perspective and the world around him. The end result of his work demonstrates the craft of his design as well as the rawness of his stenciled street art.

Interview: Brianna McCarthy
Accidentally. I’m not even sure. I’ve always, for as long as I’ve known myself, been attracted to creating things. I come from a resourceful family; a low income background has a tendency to provoke that! So, I knew that it was possible to alter most things, do without some things and make completely new things. Art was and escape for me too – I daydreamed too much as a child, drew too much, wrote too much – gave me the opportunity to be somewhere else constantly.
How is your ethnicity a source of inspiration or strength in your work?
Or is it just sort of a default setting that has little bearing.
It's both. I just am what I am, the product of many things and that's both mundane and exciting. I’m certainly influenced by my ethnic make-up or cultural influences as I want to know them intimately – it’s all very beautiful. Someone asked me once why all my paintings were of Black women. I had to think about it. I knew the answer, but what was it? I happen to be Black, female and West Indian; it’s what I identify with and influences how I see myself – therefore, it comes out in my expression.
Is being a woman artist different from being a man designer, do you find it liberating or challenging?
Liberating. I love being female and I love that men are different. I think male designers are quite different from female artists. My partner is a male designer and the differences between us, which I can attribute to creative differences, are fascinating. I make things I think are gorgeous to look at and that bring positivity because of that; he seeks to solve a problem through design. It’s quite interesting.
Is that question irrelevant?
Haha! I think it's relevant if you're into that dynamic.
What aspect of your art do you really love?
The reactions my work provokes. When someone really enjoys what I’ve made, it’s a good feeling. When I’m done and I know, from the piece, that it’s done and I’m happy with it, it’s a good feeling.
What's the most challenging part of what you do?
Figuring out exactly what it is that I do! My call card says “Brianna McCarthy – Makes Things”. Seriously though, being self taught is awesome I think but I wonder what I missed out on sometimes. I went with my other loves (Literature, French) for university. I didn’t ever consider studying art. I might change that at some point though.
Finding a way to create for a living outside of working at an agency or design company. I actually enjoy, if that's the right word, working in the corporate field -- it provides me a little balance.
Can you discuss any specifics about the process of creating a few of the pieces you sent.
The portraits of the 5 girls were done on a four day family vacation on the south coast of Trinidad. It was beautiful – the weather, the sea, the people – a great vibe. But I was pretty pensive that weekend – these girls were done during and after that time – a period of clarity. They’re honestly some of my favourites.
Any advice for neophytes?
Being a neophyte myself, I’d have to say – keep learning, stay focused, be smart about who you take advice from and trust yourself a little. Risk is good most times, even though I don’t often take my own advice in that regard. Most of all, be honest with yourself about yourself.
Illustrator: Robert Trujillo
"Trust Your Struggle" was created by Miguel "Bounce" Perez, no esta mi. His work can be seen here: devilsorangels.com
my name is Robert Trujillo. I’m an Illustrator from Oakland California, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY. Who am I? I’m an art educator for various non-profit organizations across the Tri-state area. Much of the advice, help, and inspiration I received as an artist was passed down to me by older artists, so I make it my life’s work to not only create art but to show young people how to do it as well. I’m a full time student attending Parsons (New School) in New York and the work you see here is a mixture of published and personal illustrations.
Dope.

Designer, Illustrator, Future: Branden Collins
You know every time I think I've earnt myself some good old fashion laurel restin' –– along comes some fancy ass kid who is just killin' it! Ladies and gentlemen meet Branden Collins; your new reason to stay up at night game tightnin'! This kids work is something like a phenomenon. Have a look, enjoy, be afraid, be very afraid dammit!
"Mister Collins" is originally Branden M. Collins, a native of Cleveland, Ohio now residing in Atlanta, GA. I've been doing artwork and a lover of the arts since my childhood. I'd like to say that, over the years, I've grown to have a more eclectic taste in both music and art, both media inspiring the other in everything that I do. Music and art to me are both languages that compliment one another, one not surviving solely without the other. Music has been a large foundation of my art for many years, inspiring me to do my first set of art shows with the
"Instant Vintage" series in Savannah, GA at the DesotOrow and Dimensions galleries in 2006 & 2007. Since those shows, I've become involved with an amazing creative collective called "The Big Up!" comprised of a few of my most talented associates from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA where I attended as an animation major for two years. Along with The Big Up! creative collective, I've grown tremendously as an artist and have come into my own and have become much more interested in art as a multimedia form.
Now, with the "Mister Collins" series, I've taken on the challenge of presenting my work as multimedia, social art. I want to challenge the viewer to become more than just a "spectator" of the work and themselves become an integral part of the work itself. Such was the case at "The Human Soul Project" art exhibition at Studio 900 where I presented a number of instillation pieces, a sort of scrap/sketch book & tape recording as my artist statements, and provided crayons for visitors to draw on every inch of the gallery space. In doing these things, I felt that I could really provide an introspective look & connection between myself and the viewer as well as an outlet for social expression.
I plan to continue exploring "Mister Collins" through the creation of more instillation and social art, as well as a book release entitled "The Strange Strange World of Mister Collins". You can find more updates and info on my personal work as well as that of The Big Up! on my website:
