Davey
Wong, a San Francisco native, grew up on a
healthy diet of TV, comic books and toys. As a result, his artwork
is heavily influenced by Aurora monster model kit artist, James Bama,
comic book legend, Jack "King" Kirby,
Famous Monsters of Filmland artist, Basil Gogos and films by stop-motion
god, Ray Harryhausen.
Here's what the
artist has to say about his work... "I try to
give the viewer a
visual that draws you in deep so that you get lost in the painting.
I love when an art piece can do that to you and hopefully I connect
with my audience in that way."
