CHRISTIAN JAXTHEIMER
Christian Jaxtheimer is a freelance Illustrator and Painter living and working in Savannah, GA. He started live painting in 2009 when he moved back to Savannah, GA. Opposing forces are usually at work, coming together rather than driving apart. Jaxtheimer tries to bring out the beauty in everything from rigid geometry to soft feminine forms and is completely obsessed with color, shape, composition. Christian tries to intermingle all these to create something that is both intricately detailed and boldly graphic. Above all else, he wants viewers to have fun with the themes he explores in his works. He attempts to tell a story that is both ancient and futuristically interstellar.

THOMAS ROBERTSON-FORREST
Spawned and evolved in Richmond, Va, long ago, Thomas wandered the lonely and dusty roads and cliff-sides in hopes of distributing the plague of imagery. In hopes to be able to spread such a disease, he came across a social and invasive medium of live art. He has been able to infect both those who least expect it, and the ones who can see it coming directly for them. No one can help you now, and what has been seen cannot be unseen.

EMILY KELL
Emily Kell is an artist from Alexandria, VA, currently living and working in Savannah, GA, where she graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in painting. When not painting, she spends her time creating fun wearable art in the form of clothing and accessories and doing live painting and body painting for concerts and festivals. My art aims to articulate a sense of awe and beauty, and to ask all of those important questions, with an understanding that the answers are infinite. My aim is to spread love and joy through my art and craft.
