Isaac Whitlatch was born in Casper, Wyoming and studied Advertising Illustration at The Brooks Institute for Photography in Santa Barbara, California.
"I was born into a home with boundless Art Supplies and unlimited support from my artist parents."
Isaac loves markers and pencil, charcoal and ball point. He is inspired by the artists of The Art Nouveau Movement and those creators coming out of The Lowbrow Art Movement in Southern California. Some of his most influential instructors include Nancy Lee (Dean Morgan JHS), Sheila Mchattie (Natrona County HS), Paul Kemp (Baylor University), & Ralph Clavenger (Brooks, Santa Barbara).
"I give my eyes what they want."
Isaac lives and works as an illustrator and two dimensional designer in Helena, Montana.
David Rufenacht was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming. From a very young age David would spend countless hours doodling and drawing. Growing up, he was heavily inspired by the old masters as well as modern artists active in skateboarding and pop culture. David continued to hone his skills through High school and into College before deciding to enter the workforce as a graphic designer. The vast majority of David’s artistic output over the last few decades has been commercial in nature. His personal work tends to resist the mundane and is more surreal and fantastical. His artistic style has elements of extreme detail intermixed with loose flowing line and brush work. David values the freedom of his artwork, the freedom to bring his daydreams to life and the freedom to follow a thread wherever it may lead. David's work both explores the fusion of seemingly incompatible ideas, and can also render a simple representation from his life.
David lives and works with his family in Casper, Wy
