Jeremy Lawson

photo is a sport of observation. As a shooter, I aim to capture the best of both context and story in a frame. I understand that moments leading up to a great shot and those included in a frame are linked by importance. As an observer of everyday life, I gravitate toward utilizing subtle visual ques like body language to provide insight and depicts an overall raw, unapologetic story. I use the lens to inform the viewer by focusing on habits and behaviors. More than anything, the service of a photographer provides behind the lens is to tell a real, unapologetic story. Lastly, I look to present the ordinary world in an extraordinary light focusing on the details and truth.

More than anything, the stories that are told simply need to be packaged correctly to provide a voice and platform to those who are otherwise overlooked.

I try to allow the purest, most random thoughts to spill onto canvas, as if each painting is capture a fleeting moment of thought. Art, to me, is the expression of what cannot otherwise be spoken, a reflection of the human experience.

Recently I have been moving towards a series of "micro paintings", mostly 6"x6" but not limited to those precise dimensions. The idea being to collect them in small groups, the sum being more than the individual parts.

Greg Lucker

As a concert photographer, Greg has covered everything from the local garage band, to U2 at the Rose Bowl, and everything in between. Shooting concerts is not all the glamour you might think it is. It's long hours, shooting in cramped pits, with lighting that always keeps you guessing. It is very fast paced shooting, and with only two or three songs to get your work done, you need to be on your game.

Greg has covered numerous shows throughout southern California and Las Vegas for the Chicago based "Dead Hub", and is currently shooting concerts as an Independent Photographer for Temecula based, Golden Crown Productions. He has had gallery shows in Temecula, and Escondido, and in 2012 he received Grammy Museum credit.

John Lamb

John Lamb is an artist, animation film producer/director, and entrepreneur. From the first animated surf and skateboarding cartoons, to perhaps the first American animated, rotoscoped rock n' roll video, to an Academy Award for Scientific and Technical Achievement for invention of the Lyon Lamb Video Animation System (VAS), Lamb's work has consistently been in the public eye since the 1970s.

In the early 1970s, Lamb's animation was seen in two seminal surf movies. "The Forgotten Island of Santosha" by Larry and Roger Yates featured Lamb's first animated film "Secret Spot" (1974), while "Five Summer Stories" by McGilivray-Freeman Films (1975) featured Lamb's animated short "Rocket 88".

Dean LeCrone

Dean LeCrone is a cartoonist, whose talents have been utilized in comic books, calendars, t-shirts, posters, magazines, and pretty much any other format- be it paper or internet- that has provided a platform for his work.

Dean brings his cartooning skills to Oceanside's Art Walk, by offering up his "Superhero Caricatures". With pen to paper, Dean will transform Oceanside Art Walk attendees into their favorite super hero!

In his youth, Dean grew up consuming and devouring comic books (into his brain, not actually chewing and swallowing them) and was influenced by the many talented, sequential art storytellers. His influences ranged from Marvel Comics, Mad Magazine, and newspaper strips.

Dean has been an exhibitor at Comic-Con, and continues attending each year as a professional. He was also the President of the Southern California Cartoonists Society for a couple of years, and continues to be a member of that fun group.

His comic character, "Doc Smith" (everybody's favorite social outcast) is growing in popularity with the yearly release of his Doc Smith calendars. See Doc Smith at: docsmith.us. and Facebook The Real Doc Smith Page

Dean's most recent project was an animation job- providing the art and character designs for an all animated episode of the comedy web series "Betty and DD's School of Acting Arts". The episode can be seen at their website, bettyanddd.com

Dean also has a multi-media partnership with photographer and artist Allen Freeman. Together, as Slambang Media, they have teamed up on various projects and jobs ranging from comics, poster art, film, and photography.
