Artbattle is fun because of all the people who come to support the audience! Wouldn't be fun without them.

Sean says the audience will witness the crazed scribblings of a mind warped by countless hours of Nickelodeon in the 90s and shattered by art wizards Frazetta, Brom, Elmore and Reynolds. He will delight you through equal parts fantasy and fun. He is most comfortable with pencils, Sharpies (the bolder the better) and acrylic paint.

From the depths of Belltown emerges an artist more gremlin than man!

Come see for yourself, if you dare. Witness the crazed scribblings of a mind warped by countless hours of Nickelodeon in the 90s and shattered by art wizards Frazetta, Brom, Elmore and Reynolds.

Delight as his ink stained fingers bring you equal parts fun and fantasy. Dare we say FUNtasy?!

(Oh, he's into puns too...)

Tyson says art is a way he can express how he feels without talking. What inspires him most are his friends, followed by art.

Just another grumpy person who likes making cool shit

RiggsZ's work is often based around landscapes, fantasy or otherwise. He has a project called "The Wanderer Series" which he creates fantasy worlds, writing a deep lore for each series and puts music to it to resemble the ambience of each piece. RiggsZ hopes to provide a truly immersive experience!

Excited to be here, excited to share my style, hopefully I create something worth your time!

This is Hillarie's 4th Art Battle. Art Battle has helped her to move away from her sometimes-rigid painting style and pushes her to let go of details, focusing on the creative process. She enjoys painting Pacific Northwest scenes and infusing them with color and contrast.

This will be my 4th art battle, and I’m ready to bring my best! Art Battle has helped me to get away from my sometimes rigid painting style, and pushes me to let go of details and focus on the creative process. I love that it creates pressure and competition, while I have the chance to meet amazing local artists.
Art Battle’s a unique cultural experience that I’m excited to be a part of.

Ever since Esther can remember, she has had a pencil and paper in her hands. She has done art all her life, it is what she does and is a part of her. Esther specializes in pen and ink as well as acrylic painting.

Thank you for coming out and I hope you all enjoy and have fun.

Sarah, born in Fairbanks, Alaska, always loved the way art can tell a story. Originally wanting to illustrate children's books, she studied illustration at San Jose State University. In the recent years, she has done everything from murals, window displays and sign work to body painting, sewing costumes and running classes and workshops on a variety of crafts for all ages.

I grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska and got my Art Degree at San Jose State in California. I chose Seattle as my home, because the best of both worlds. I came to my first Art Battle shortly after moving to Seattle in the fall of 2019, right before the world imploded. I’m honored and excited to be taking part. I’m ready to have some fun and make some magic!

Jeff is back! Jeff's art ranges from non-objective forms and lines to surreal land and seascapes, and even some expressionist pieces. While he is primarily a painter, he also enjoys sculpturing and mixing media.

Let’s get our paint on! Get painted!
