Daniel Langhans

“Carnecupulus; Dismissed Messenger of Cupid,” by Daniel Langhans

DANIEL LANGHANS is originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and currently lives in Tempe, Arizona. He has a BFA from The School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University. With the involved nature of his profession as a full time Art Teacher, Daniel is constantly working in a wide spectrum of mediums and concepts, but his favorites remain drawing and painting. A far cry from the lighthouse and beach scenes he grew up around in Cape galleries, his current work combines cute and cuddly characters with just a dash of creepy. Cartoons and pop culture icons with his natural twist are taking up residence in galleries and private collections widespread across the U.S., Germany, and Italy. Shop for art or browse his gallery at www.tiltedearthstudios.com.

Pedro Abreu, “The Blind Toast”

PEDRO ABREU draws inspiration from his immediate surroundings and shoots just at the right moment to capture the mystical momentum rather than the narrative. His motives are of unknown protagonists at non-places. He earned his BFA at the Cooper Union School of art and Architecture in New York City. As an independent artist, Pedro has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows internationally including the Indépendants Salon des Artistes in Paris and El Museo del Barrio in New York.
