Robert Berry

Rob Berry was born at Tripler Air Force Hospital on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. His father- ret. Commander Roy Berry (USN) retired when Rob was aged 2, and moved the family to San Diego. As a military officer, Robs father did not support his creative endeavors and actually sent Rob to a psychologist to have him "cured". Rob, however, persevered and has a degree in Environmental Design with a minor in English. Rob usually pays the bills by working for all types of engineers, architects and has even worked in the aerospace industry. Rob is currently 45, separated and living his dream. He currently resides in North County with his 2 children.

Charmaine Santana

As a veteran of the Marine Corps, I've learned the importance of precision, structure, and organization. I've dedicated four years to have those qualities embedded in me. While I they are installed in me, I've never perfected them, and I don't intend to. The freehanded, impromptu paintings are in some way, a rebellion against perfection, precision, structure, and organization. The lucidity of watercolors felt refreshing after leaving a bold world such as the reality of the military. I aim for simplicity, I take inspiration from nostalgia, and I like to put my daydreams in view.

Enrique Plazola

Ryder Greyshock

Hello, my name is Ryder Greyshock, I am 13 years old and I am from Lake Forest, California. I began an interest in photography about four years ago, when I was given for Christmas, a small point and shoot camera. I used to go out with all of my friends and I would take all kinds of action shots, but the real reason that I did that so often was I had just caught the photography bug. So after a few years of small cameras and gopros, I decided it was time I buy a real camera and learn real photography. So I purchased a Canon 600d and between my photography class and the articles I studied I was able to comprehend the advanced techniques used to provide the stunning image that viewers look for. So I love to shoot colorful, mind blowing images that would stop a viewer or make them wish they were there. However over the years I haven’t I haven’t lost the passion for shooting action such as skateboarding or especially the ocean! I feel the ocean is my canvas; that is one of my favorite places to shoot.. When the waves are small and the skate park is empty I go on the hunt for curious, touching colors that move me and my soul. I was introduced to the art walk by my Digital Photography teacher, Angela Kiyono. She has been a great inspiration to me and always helped challenged me to improve. I would love to make Mrs. Kiyono proud and be able to show my work at the artwalk.

Cici Porter Groupé

I create art that celebrates the wild rhythms, luscious colors, and endless forms of nature. Her beauty and unbridled generosity are my inspiration and joy. I want to share my vision from the heart of Pacha Mama with a world that sorely needs to rest in her dignity, dance in her mystery and contemplate the majesty of all her creation!

I studied art in college and then flew off to Alaska to paint, play guitar, and write songs by a mountain stream. With art as a personal companion, I followed her music into a career that ultimately led to Southern California, regional touring and national music awards. Now I've turned my focus back to painting in a studio on Palomar Mountain, outside of San Diego. My work expresses the joy I feel at being back in the arms of Mother Nature with a paintbrush in hand.

I am a San Diego native, born and raised, and I bought a home in Oceanside two years ago with my wife. We love Oside and know it's the perfect town for us and we're proud to call it our home. I studied studio art in college and have continued to pursue various media, spray paint art being my favorite for the past couple years. I love graffiti as a public expression and often subversive art form.

Echoes of the Future

I was born in Iceland, where art and literature have always played a strong part in our culture. Iceland’s powerful nature, stern Lutheran tradition, and ancient sagas permeated my experiences growing up.

“Echoes of the Future” is a photographic series that is informed by my early experiences which addresses cultural and economic issues. Images of abandoned, crumbling and burned husks of deserted buildings represent our current declining Western civilization. The framed vestiges of the past, preserved through art, are imposed upon these dilapidated walls; depictions of classical mythology, epic stories, religious firmaments, and the common, vibrant commerce of a past era. These warehouses and homes, scattered about the American landscape, were all once occupied by people who loved, worked, and created families. Against this abandoned stage, the fragments of our history litter the walls like graffiti, reminding us where we’ve been. As our present becomes history flowing into the past, how will our story be told? Which fragments will endure to echo into the future

Daniel Jaimes

Thanks to a little known space fantasy film called Star Wars which premiered in May 1977...it was by far the most amazing and Epic movie I've ever seen! As for this 10 year old native kid at that time...I was totally blown away by the special effects which inspired me to pick up a pencil and began drawing spaceships, characters and battle scenes from the movie which seemed to come natural at such a young age. Thank you George Lucas, Phil Tippett, Dennis Muren and all those at LucasFilm that brought the Saga into my life. From that moment on, I was drawing on any piece of paper I could get my hands on, and being the second youngest of 10 kids...Yes, you heard me right...10 kids, there was plenty of paper to be found! You could say it was my new way of escaping the realities of the real world and entering my own world with imagination during my childhood. My creative side continued all the way to high school and into my early twenties until my interest in art slowly began to decline due to the lack of appeal, therefore never pursuing a career in art nor exceeding it to the next level. Therefore my drawing days came to an end for the next seventeen years with no regrets...until the passing of my Father in September 2006. With only two days before the funeral services, I wanted to give my grieving Mother something very special and meaningful. So I literally locked myself up with as many photos of my Dad and just like that...began drawing all over again. What originally started as a self portrait, ended up becoming a life collage of fond memories of him. It was by far the hardest 36 hours I've had to endure. Thereby finishing the drawing on time as it stood next to his final resting place. My Mother , my Family and all those in attendance loved It...as it proudly hangs in her living room to this very day.

January, 2007 my reintroduction to art was reignited as it saved me from the hardship and affliction that was subsequently soon to follow as my personal life was turned upside down. With very little or no money...I ended up living in a tiny little room for the next two excruciating years as my artwork had now become my salvation as I kept myself in solitude and learned how to use my new set of eyes as it helped stimulate my mind with creativity and inspiration that I desperately needed instead of alcohol and anguish.

In 2009 I felt confident enough to start offering free portrait drawings for family and friends as it made me feel better knowing that my drawings were serving a purpose in someones life because the expression of gratitude is priceless! In time, my technique and drawing skills had vastly improved with the help of better tools/materials, and the hundreds of hours of non-stop practice. Afterwards, I began drawing what originally inspired me when I was just a kid. You guessed it Pop Culture and Movie Icons as a new hobby, not to mention a NEW direction for my artwork and personal life.

January, 2010 a friend convinced my reluctant self to start displaying my pencil art anywhere possible because honestly I never imagined myself doing anything like this...so I did. During this new chapter, my renew love for art was making a positive impact as I started entering art exhibits that rejuvenated my social world with new and talented friends.

March, 2010 I challenged myself again by purchasing my first canvas, brushes, acrylic paints and just started painting. OMG!...The first three attempts were disastrous and frustrating because my brushstrokes were hideous and it totally sucked! As a result, I went back to the drawing board (literally) and started painting the way I've been drawing: carefully and patiently using a Pixilating technique (painting with dots) . Pixilating has the same characteristics as the pixels on your HDTV and/or digital photos. Within a year, I saw the results of my work as my paintings had evolved piece after piece as I'm continuing to define my diligence style of painting in the solitude but now calm, quietness and peace of the night. I take my art very seriously, but at the same time I'm a kid at heart because the child in me survived. Therefore transforming me into the creative adult that I am today with a better look on life. This is just the beginning as I continue to meet and greet new people at my shows/live Art demonstrations while making new friends as I love capturing the essence of people along the way.
Present Day: My work is now recognized and appreciated by many at every exhibit I show, from people’s homes to coffee shops, wineries, respectable galleries, beautiful Hotels, live music concert halls and most of all...Charities and Auction events. Making a difference in someone's life is by far the most rewarding because giving back what I once lost is priceless! I've shipped commissioned art around this great country of ours and as far as New Zealand and Switzerland. It’s hard to say goodbye to my work when sold, but it also influences me to create more.

So what inspires me the most? Knowing it’s never too late to do what you love.

Bob Boon

My name is Bob Boon. I have loved photography for the last forty years of my life. I am a rock n roll photographer by trade and hobby but am inspired by everything that surrounds me. When I recently went to France I was inspired by Monet's gardens at Giverny which then led me to imagine Monet walking around all of Paris, which led to this show. My greatest support comes from my lovely wife Kim and my amazing children who have stood still for my photographs for years and years and will continue to do so. Enjoy your walk with Monet.

Robert Piser

Robert Piser was born in Milford, Connecticut in 1952. Raised in the San Fernando Valley, Piser was profoundly influenced by postwar middle class Americana and the burgeoning Pop Art movement. Piser’s earliest works were primarily realistic portrayals in colored pencil, watercolor and gouache, although he soon moved to creating “Sculptural Paintings.”

Piser developed “Sculptural Paintings” at California College of Arts and Crafts (later California College of the Arts). Required to study sculpture yet resisting tradition, his response was to paint three-dimensional volumes.

In the 1970s, Piser created his street-based art gallery, “The Daily Palette”, a collection of newspaper vending machines installed outside art venues around the San Francisco Bay Area. The machines were supplied weekly with silk-screened prints, which sold for 25 cents, or, as Piser put it, "Significant art works at popular prices." According to art blogger Matthew LeClair, “The idea of the vending machine as an alternative art gallery began in the 1970s with Robert Piser's Daily Palette.” LeClair writes, “Piser's work was significantly different from the Fluxus artists. The Fluxus artists vended work by single artists inside a gallery. For Piser, the vending machine was the gallery, selling work by a variety of artists in locations not typically associated with art, such as on street corners.”

According to Piser:

I was a young art student and was frustrated with the straight / closed gallery scene in the bay area and was just looking for a way to show my work and it was a cool way to do it. I was part of the bay area underground music and art scene of the late 70's and 80's. The Ant Farm, Survival Research Laboratories, Flipper, Dead Kennedy's, Cramps, etc. I taught lithography and silkscreen printing at Berkeley and was part of a group of alternative printers and artists who were involved with the "mail art" movement. (The Mac and email weren't designed yet). The machines were $55 and I had 8 of them at one time. The cost of the operation wasn't close to the money I got back at 25 cents a piece, but a quarter seemed like the best price someone would actually let go of at the time, besides, it wasn't the point really. It was the cheapest gallery in the world. People liked the concept and I showed all kinds of people's work, (too many), and people mostly stole more than they paid for. The UC Berkeley police actually confiscated some machines as they said they were on university property and I had to bail out the machines and I had a show accordingly at UC Berkeley art museum. Too many stories...I ran it for about 6 years...

Piser also studied art at Otis Art Institute and San Francisco Art Institute, and fine art lithography at U.C. Berkeley. Piser actively participated in the vibrant San Francisco/East Bay underground art scene, appearing in gallery and group shows, and co-founded the East Bay “Mail Art” movement.

Piser’s years of experience as an industrial printer fostered a deep appreciation of the art and science of fine art printing. During the pre-digital heyday of San Francisco Bay Area printing, he worked with notable printing houses (e.g., Foster & Kleiser, Mike Roberts Postcards, World Litho Co., etc.), creating everything from post cards and posters to billboards.

Jeff Comulada

In the tradition of his Italian ancestors, Jeff is an artisan who builds custom furniture from his fertile imagination. Born in Washington, DC, but raised in Los Angeles and schooled at UCLA, Jeff has been building and selling fine furniture since the 1990’s, first in Pasadena, then in Temecula and now in his new hometown, the avocado capital of the world, Fallbrook, California (and not incidentally, Jeff makes a mean guacamole).

Jeff’s furniture pieces range from the purely practical (tables of differing sizes and heights) to whimsical steampunk creations. He is currently crafting a writing desk with room for a computer and printer but what a desk this is! Using H.G. Wells’ time machine as a starting point, Jeff has added drawers, a map pull-out, a time travel lever, lights, knobs and all sorts of added timepieces to give the illusion of a time machine, complete with a steam locomotive front with a tube for discarded paper!

Unique, one-of-a-kind furniture is Jeff’s specialty. If you are looking for an unusual pub/game table or a kitchen island or a gardening bench, please give us a try. We use re-purposed wood and knobs and pulls whenever possible. Steampunk, antique reproductions, Craftsman and mid-century are all styles that Jeff works with and creates. If you have an item in mind, Jeff can probably build it for you.

Wesley White

Most people may find the art of WESLEY WHITE inspiring or too loud. But whatever your opinion, you must admit that it pops.

An Oceanside artist (b. 1986) via Laguna Beach, Calif.—the work of WHITE is recognizable for its wacky candy-like colors and “cute” subculture marked by POP art fetish, hip-hop, and street inspiration. Original pieces feature playful imagery like oversized eyes, cartoon Technicolor and contemporary characters marked by dark humor.

WHITE began honing his skills of sculpture and woodwork as a teen, but didn’t take up painting till his early 20s. Original pieces utilize acrylic and molding putty—drawing inspiration from leading edge artists Banksy and Tyler Warren. His travels to Spain, Ibiza and Costa Rica impacted his graffiti obsession. In his own words “My art is fun and LOUD with lots of bright colors. I love to make people smile and laugh, baby!”

Popular works include his Wu-Kitty, Spew (a spitting rainbow), and Jerry (Homer Simpson lookalike unicorn). Current collection on exhibit at BANANA DANG! is a retrospective of works from the past 10 years. When he is not in the ocean or walking his dog, WHITE can be found in his Oside studio painting to audible backdrops of Joy Division, the Smiths and Nicki Minaj.
