Cheeming Boey:
Cheeming Boey is an animator from Malaysia who also draws on anything he gets his hands on.  Most known for his foam cups, Boey works in a combination of several styles and techniques, and his subject matter ranges from everyday life to Asian and western mythologies.  Boey also maintains an online blog that documents his day-to-day life in exciting Irvine, California. www.iamboey.com
Michael Hsiung:
Of Chinese-American descent, Michael C. Hsiung is known for his black-and-white ink drawings depicting oddly realistic tales from a time long past. His art features imaginary characters and fantastical creatures, such as centaurs and mermen, who inhabit a landscape of ruined castles, dead animals, and withered trees. Protagonists include mermen in precarious and questionable situations, Victorian athletes and fancy men with dead prey, or imaginary and real animals struggling with their environment. Michael C. Hsiung currently lives in Los Angeles, CA where he continues to draw, show his work, sell prints, collect old books, and manage his website. He has done illustrations and artwork for the following: Dr. Martens, Dwindle / Enjoi Skateboards, Oxford American Magazine, Ling Ling Magazine (Spain), JupiterImages, LA Records, and Los Angeles bands Division Day and Henry Clay People. He has show with various galleries, including East of Eden at Barnsdall Park, 2008 Helsinki Biennial, GR2’s Year of the Ox group show, and most recently in Knights & Hunters, a group show at Black Maria Gallery in Atwater, Los Angeles. www.michaelchsiung.com
Nishat Akhtar
NishatAkhtar is an artist and graphic designer who rides her bicycle past battleships to her job at Anthropologie, where her day involves petting dogs, drawing, sewing and kerning type. At night she spends her time making art that varies in material but always carries a feeling of nostalgia and a familar world forgotten. A graduate of the Pratt Institue, she recently left her lovely New York for greener pastures in Philadelphia, where she rides horses, sets tiny letterpress type, and dissects the human heart.  www.onedaynever.com
