Melissa Moss
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Melissa Moss, who now lives in Asheville, NC, has a background in color psychology and is well versed in the meanings of colors and their subtle shades and tones. Painting on wood with acrylic, Melissa combines colors in an arresting way, creating a tinted world that is very much her own invention.

Melissa’s paintings of delicate trees and otherworldly flowers may depict adorable creatures in peril or pretty pink flowers attacking a forlorn tree. Tiny details are not always evident at first glance. Often fantastical, this is the subterranean landscape that lies beneath a child’s fairy tale or a Saturday morning cartoon.

Melissa’s work has exhibited at galleries in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Michael C. Hsiung

Born in Chinatown, Los Angeles, Michael C. Hsiung is known for his black-and-white pen and ink drawings. His work features a range of "strangely rotund characters from fantastical creatures, such as centaurs and mermen to somewhat contemporary and/or old fashion bearded males" often celebrating, imbibing, and rebel-rousing. Currently living with his wife Rachel in Los Angeles, he spends his days drawing, making prints, stickers, zines, collaborating with his sister, artist Pearl Hsiung, under the Fight To The Death moniker, and doing freelance work. He also plays Dungeons & Dragons when he can.

His illustrations and artwork have featured in Dr. Martens, Dwindle / Enjoi Skateboards, Momentum Wheels, Matix, Ambiguous Clothing, Oxford American Magazine, Grove made, Scout Books, VICE magazine, Amigos Skateboards, and most recently FUSE. He has also exhibited in various galleries, including East of Eden at Barnsdall Park, 2008 Helsinki Biennial, Giant Robot, Slingluff Gallery, Hurley, and his solo show "So Far, So Good, So What" opened in February 2013 at THIS gallery.   He was recently featured in VICE's Mixed Medium as well as profiled on Ambig's Artist Series, which was chosen as a Vimeo staff pick.
