Joey Feldman: MONSTERS
Joey Feldman was born on April 11, 1970, the same day The Beatles released their lp "Let It Be". An only child raised in the Great Northeast part of Philadelphia, Joey taught himself to draw by tracing some of his favorite comic books at the time including "son of origins of marvel comics." He furthered his education by taking Saturday morning art classes at Moore ... then a very brief attendance at the Hussian school of art.
A creative intellectual at an early age, Feldman was very aggressive with his approach to monsters, mad science, and paranormal activity. He traveled the world in search of these phenomena. He found his calling in documenting the strange happenings he witnessed around the globe. He has dedicated his life not only to the documentation of the world’s monsters through his art, but to making others aware of these denziens and helping rid the planet of their evil forces.
Joey has had many jobs in his lifetime but continues to take on assignments with his art/illustration. Clients include: Hewlett Packard, Wilson Sporting Goods, Nike, Aramark, Hollister Publications, Bmg Music and Sony Music.

Robots...They are everywhere!! Machines that do things for us that we don't want to do ourselves.. Devices that lessen the workload we have to do in our daily lives. And of course the hulking behemoths that build our cars, destroy our buildings, launch our rocket ships, or provide mobility to the masses. As we progress into an ever uncertain future, one thing is clear: Robots will be here in larger and larger numbers. Could the cyber-punk nightmares of the Terminator and Matrix become a reality? Who's to say. Envision an Earth that humanity has left behind; too noxious for our survival, we leave the planet in the hands of our creations. As they rapidly replace most organic life, the robots evolve and mutate into an endless multitude of forms and functions, fill in every niche, but always retain a fundamental consistency, much as life on this planet has. I see these paintings as portraits and snapshots from this far distant era.
