ZOO! - Creatures Of Curiosity

Over the years karl addison's work has taken on an imaginative side of the animal kingdom. Creating creatures of strange breeds, oddities, and miss matching. ZOO! will be an exhibit of strange animals at their large as life size, detail and splendor. The collection of creatures have been collected over the past 3 years, researched & illustrated. It's a peak in to life's "what if."

About Karl Addison:

Art & drawing becomes my visual identity to all the images that are alive in my head. The aspects of who I am come out in small details throughout my artwork. Parts of my life dictate the subject matter – emotional catastrophes, self image, experiences & my environment all entwine together. The aspiration of my work is to share these visual images beyond my own reality and with those that contribute to it.

The raw basics of my artwork are simple – a few different styles of ink pens and a couple blank sheets of paper. Most concepts brew in my head for a few weeks before they are sketched in. By the time my process starts there is general intent and composition behind it. Details are always left blank; this allows me the flexibility to change my artwork during the process. The originals are stored away in my archival books, but the images are re-produced using several printmaking techniques I have taught myself.
