Artists
I am a classically-trained part-time bank robber. However, in the slow months, I illustrate, create branding, merchandise design, rock poster art, album covers/layouts, mural installations, design enamel pins, manufacture challenge coins, release books, focus on my own IP as a product, work within the tech security industry (it’s a weird niche), some lite music scoring and most importantly: screen print all of my art prints and posters.

Logan Schmitt is an illustrator who grew up by the woods in Wheeling, West Virginia.

When he isn’t illustrating posters for bands or drawing frogs and fish, you can find him somewhere in the woods or down by the creek. He lives in Wheeling with his wife and owl figurines.
I’m an artist currently located in Columbus, Ohio. My art comes in the form of illustration, large scale murals, and tattoos. I work towards creating an environment with my art. Building a feeling through careful color choices, bold hard lines, pattern and texture. It is my goal to carry my style throughout all my work in a cohesive manner, whether it be on walls or skin. Skateboarding, all things music, and graphic illustration have had a huge influence on my work and definitely play into my overall style and execution of my artwork.

Self-taught painter Steve Ehret (Monster Steve) is inspired by both nature and the humans and creatures that tend to show up in his daily life. Walking around. Driving. Running through neighborhoods all year round. He takes in his surroundings as most humans tend to, but he’s inspired by the little moments, textures and variances in time or color that maybe some don’t highlight or miss altogether. He makes careful observations of moss spreading over a fallen tree, or the way Terry talks to his lonely neighbor. The way Carl screams at his mom for not getting him the super sized fry. He takes mental notes, snapshots of these scenes that can often inspire the phantasmal settings of his paintings. Characters or beings of all shapes and sizes pop up often just to interact or hang within these places. On varying surfaces he often breaks apart these settings in a way that speaks to the randomness of each passing mile. The goal. Keep digging around. Stay curious. Find the interesting in the mundane.
Terry Urban is an artist born in the blue-collar city of Cleveland, Ohio, located in the Midwest of the United States. This “underdog” town, known for its resilience and hardworking spirit, greatly influenced his art, which often reflects themes of determination, perseverance, and struggle.Growing up in a family of Irish American heritage and under the guidance of his Cherokee stepfather, Terry developed a deep-rooted appreciation for the underdog, which serves as a central theme in much of his work. His paintings capture the human condition, often depicting dark imagery that reveals the complexities of the human psyche.Through his artistic expression, Terry continues to showcase his unwavering spirit and profound connection to his roots. His artwork stands as a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit and serves as an inspiration to many.Terry Urban specializes in creating striking compositions on both canvas and wood, skillfully combining vibrant colors with evocative imagery that often delves into themes of mortality. Despite the prevalence of such motifs throughout his work, the true impetus behind his captivation with death remains a mystery, even to himself. It could be rooted in a profound anxiety about the inevitability of death, or perhaps it’s driven by a curiosity to better understand the enigmatic realm of the afterlife.
