Danny Fernandez

Santa Cruz CA

Art is my catalyst for connecting with the people who relate most to my inner self.  Growing up in Los Angeles, Ca, inspiration has met me through many unique art forms such as graffiti, tattoos, Hip hop, punk & skateboard culture. When I moved to Santa Cruz I quickly fell in love with nature and the surrounding beauty. I became deeply moved by man’s relationship to nature and I attempt to symbolize that mystery through my work. I’m recognized for my close attention to detail, fine lines, symbolism, and use of variety of mediums.  I currently reside in Santa Cruz, Ca, making art by the seaside.

Funtime Dan

Los Angeles CA

I have made art my entire life, but my artistic career started at 16 when I started working with 5 Feet From The Moon, a metal and concrete artist studio in Santa Cruz California. I learned basic welding and metalworking skills, as well as large scale concrete casting. I worked with this studio on and off for six years as I began studying Ceramic sculpture at San Francisco State University. I fell in love with ceramics because the material is so ancient and so human, but I wanted to learn how to work with it on a larger scale. I eventually met a potter named Mattie Leads who makes large scale pottery and incorporates it into the architecture of buildings. Working with Mattie helped me to increase the scale of my ceramics and has changed the way that I seek to incorporate ceramics into the environment.

Growing up in Santa Cruz and finding his passion in clay through the Cabrillo College Ceramics Department, where he studied under the guidance of teachers such as Kathryn Mcbride, Sam Clarkson, and Silvia Rios. “Pottery is a living tradition, I have learned so much from all my teachers and peers, both in and out of clay work, for this I am eternally grateful. Naturally, I have been influenced by all world ceramics that I’ve seen, with my focus lately landing on tea wares among other functional vessels.” You can find the Pottery mafia set up on Sun/Wed. at Santa Cruz farmers market.

Uter

Santa Cruz CA

Uter is a New Orleans based graffiti artist and muralist from Charles Crew. Uter prefers to get dollar spray cans instead of fancy cans, and using old buff paint he finds or is given.  He likes his work to be about content and not about ultra clean or traditional graffiti. He prefers abandon buildings to legal walls, and tunnels to main streets. Uter’s letter style is incredible. It’s three-dimensional, it’s crisp. Uter is a character and letter combination, and his characters are those haggard-looking bunnies.
