Artist Statement

I am a visual multi-media artist who incorporates literary works, futuristic landscapes, dream imagery and symbolism in my work. My aim is to create decorations with messages of hope to give back color to the people who color my life. I am a gypsy, an insatiable explorer whose work vibrates with every person, idea, frustration and challenge. Art is a luxury. It provokes the sub-conscience, asks questions, defies convention and stirs the senses in ways other luxuries cannot. I dedicate my craft to all generations, those who created before me and those that will outlive me and impact the future by launching this world into an apocalypse of inventions and revolution.

-Jacob Alexander Figueroa

Artist Statement

I am a multi-faceted artist, musician, and developer. Everything - my friends, loved ones, acquaintances, to complete strangers I encounter who exchange smiles with me or spark some sort of familiar feeling within me – all of my life experiences and observations inspire me daily, transcending into my art, music, and anything I channel my energy into. Love is my driving force, the ideal that shapes all of my creations. My goals in life put simply are to create beautiful art and music, inspire and invoke positive change, and to be happy, healthy and successful while hopefully inspiring others to do the same.

-Mary Norell Jackson

Together they make The Band Famous – the band, the software, the venue, the movement.
