Gage Creed & Winston Churchill by Eric Trimble
Mini Bio: (Eric Trimble Site) I was born on November 13, 1976 in Eastern Kentucky. In 1995 I attended college at Morehead State University. There I received a degree in Graphic Communications. In 1999, I moved to Lexington, Kentucky and started work for a civil engineering firm doing drafting, 3D modeling, graphic design and other ancillaries.
I’m a self taught Pen & Ink artist who communicates through cross-hatched images. My work didn’t really start to evolve until 2 ½ years ago when my daughter was born. It was then that I sat down at 10 o’clock at night with a drink in one hand and a pen in the other and started venting. My daughter has had a rough start in life dealing with multiple complications. My work focuses on how beautiful and comical the anomalies of this world really are. My daughter taught me not to ignore the “Big Pink Elephant” in the room, but instead, to embrace and become totally obsessed with it.
My creations escape conventional illustration, exposing images the conscience tries to suppress. It holds the innocence of fairy tales with a sardonic undertone that pose strange questions. My artwork has no specific emotional direction or intent. I don’t create art for the sake of sales or try to make it more commercially palatable. I draw what I want at that given moment whether it will be accepted or not. I use the simplest form of art - a line, and hatch and cross hatch tediously--until I get the desired tone or texture. Each mundane line is a piece of my life. I compulsively strike black marks, almost as remission of sins.

Eric's piece will be at pinkghost's Villains & More Villains Art Show from June 21 till July 21, 2008. Don't miss an opportunity to see his work in person.
