Artist Chris Paxson, born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, found himself pursuing commercial art after attending school at Stockton University for visual communications. He is the owner of Coastline Creations, a company that specializes in three-dimensional fabrication. His company has worked with companies such as VH-1, and Crayola Crayons. They have also worked with small businesses. Although Coastline Creations carries much depth, I will be discussing Paxson’s solo art, most of which consists of animals, especially fish.

David Best is a universally famous American stone worker. He is known for building huge sanctuaries out of reused wood sheets (disposed of while making toys and other punch-outs) for the Burning Man celebrations, where they are then singed to the ground. Best is in Kathmandu to partake in the World Wood Day festivities being composed by the International Wood Culture Society in relationship with IUCN and the Nepal Government. He is working together with neighborhood artisans in Bungmati to fabricate a wooden sanctuary. Onlinekhabar got up to speed with Best amid his visit to Bungmati as of late.

When these publications were illustrated, the wood-block was the only means, helped by the metal stereo and electrotype, in which pictures could be printed with text in a single pressing on the same page. That required the growth of a great craft industry, probably some of the finest in the century.

John Baldessari is an American conceptual artist who is known largely for his work featuring found photography and appropriated images. Featured in more than 200 solo exhibitions in the United States and Europe, his work has had a massive influence on contemporary artists such as Cindy Sherman, David Salle and Barbara Kruger (Art Facts 1). Baldessari's work has been known to "both demonstrate and combine the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of the work of art" (Tate 1). Such a collaboration between images and language can be seen in Baldessari's piece, ABC Art, which is a 26-part print work on handmade paper depicting the letters of the alphabet next to an image relative to that respective print's represented letter that demonstrates consistent humor and whimsy, that as contemporary Los Angeles art critic Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, notes "continues to push the boundaries of printmaking" (Drohojowska-Philp 1).

I have explored my interests and studied mediums foreign to me at Fleisher. As a young child growing up alongside the development of computer technology, I took an interest in digital art though it was not offered in my middle school. Ecstatic for the opportunity, I enrolled in Fleisher’s Adobe Photoshop course at age 12 course where I discovered the essentials of Communication Design, and it became an

After she arrived at the United Kingdom, she started working as a freelace graphic designer, where she is currently based out of. Yulia moved there where she continued her education in art. She learned that she had a “second love” for Typography after paper, where she worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. She attended University of Hertfordshire, where she studied Graphic Communication. She left computer programming because of how much she discovered she loved paper art; not long after this, she started drawing with paper instead of drawing on the paper. She always uses two materials that consists of paper and glue. Her original

Armed with a pack of highlighters, I decorated each piece of paper individually. I folded cranes at home, between classes, and in the car. My fingers were permanently sticky from the glue I scraped off every square. Slowly, my collection grew: first ten, then fifty, then one hundred. Before the task could become monotonous, I started experimenting. How small was it possible for a crane to be? Smaller than a golf ball? Smaller than a dime? Small enough to sit on the end of a pencil? Any size was attainable. I could make a crane smaller than almost any arbitrary form of measurement. Soon I could finish a crane in fifty seconds or with my eyes closed. Anything square and foldable became my medium. Paper towels, candy wrappers, and aluminum foil joined my vibrant menagerie of carefully folded paper. I was unstoppable; that wish was as good as

David Hilliard is an artist that focus on the beauty of simplicity. His works are often comprised of 3 separate photos placed together in a panorama format but separated by a small white line. David Hilliard says he tries to “create order in a sometimes chaotic world” (Hilliard) with his art. His focus is mainly on individuals and their relationships with a lot of focus on his relationship with his father as they both age. He uses the space and placement of the subjects in his works to guide the eye and help to tell the story of the subjects and show the progression of time. While his art follows quite a few individuals his father is possible the most interesting. He uses his art to show him and his father trying to piece together their relationship

Historian David Ramsay stated, "In establishing American independence… the pen and the press had merit equal to that of the sword" (Slaughter 9). When historians analyze the past they often use primary sources such as printed media, journals, letters and various notarized documents. Printed documents are a timeless form of communication with an immeasurable influenced, capable of reaching masses. How has print evolve into this powerful tool of influence and communication in America? To answer the question we must look to Europe and trace the origins of the technology that revolutionized printed materials, the Printing Press. Johannes Gutenberge in Mainz, Germany created the printing press between 1446 and 1450 (Dittmar 1133). The technology spread throughout Europe and eventually made its way into the Americas (Dittmar 1133). The invention of the printing press revolutionized the literature, education, and governments, and colonial America (Dittmar 1133). It has increased production efficiency and lowered the price of books between the years1450 and 1500 (Dittmar 1133). Historian Jeremiah E. Dittmar discovered that printing better-benefited port cities like Boston (Dittmar 1135). The printing press changed the way ideas are publicized improved the quality, efficiency writing (Dittmar 1134). Some historians have deemed the printing press as one of the greatest technological emergences to come between 1400-1800 (Dittmar 1133).
