Read MoreSpanning across multiple genres and styles, Serge depicts musical icons who have either influenced him artistically or had some sort of personal impact on his life.

The trademark feverish surrealism still remains however each work has a poignant composition and style incredibly emblematic of whatever musical genre it stems from. Themes of lost love, identity and hope are depicted through the energetic brush strokes and eccentric whimsey rendered in his work.

Read MoreBrooklyn born DC Langer was born an artist. She began painting as a child along side her artist mother, to fuel her growing creativity, or perhaps to stop her from talking so much, or eating all day. DC's energy is clearly seen in her art-- the colors bounce clear off the canvas. Her fascination with light and dynamic color has formed the foundation for her art. Her keen color perception is called "synaesthesia", which is the innate fusion of the senses--something that is shared with only one in 250,000 people. DC's first commissioned assignment, at age 13, was the design of a 48'x14' New York City billboard, giving her international exposure. Many jobs followed, propelling DC into a career as an illustrator and fine artist. A graduate of Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Arts,DC's work has been shown around the world and has won international acclaim in various competitions, including The Society of Illustrators, Art Direction Magazine and Studio Magazine's Silver Award.
