My name is Trevon Walton. I am an artist who has been spending my entire life finding ways to express myself and what I feel. I am a creative, finding love and passion in any and every medium that I touch, but I also find the ability to speak in a manner that can be difficult for me to do otherwise, it allows me to express myself in a raw, unfiltered manner. It also allows me to project part of me or my spirit into every thing I create, every detail of every painting, song, and body of work. My goal is to ultimately change the world, and give a platform for people like me, who may have been discouraged to be creative, and show them that being creative and expressive can ultimately heal in such a beautiful way. With these songs and these images, I tell you my story.

I have always been drawing ever since I was a kid. I would always bring my sketchbook with me everywhere I went. I always loved to use art as a way to express what was on my mind in a way that words could not articulate. I have grown to have a strong attachment with acrylic painting over the years and bringing an image to life on top of layer after layer of dried paint. Art is a journey I have learned to be significant in finding myself through exploring the blank pages of a sketchbook to the expanse of a canvas.
Luu Melon is a Mexican comic artist/writer based in the Pacific Northwest. Born and raised in the Southside of Milwaukee, WI, Melon has been influenced by the urban landscape of their city and its diverse populations. Now as a Washington resident Luu aims to capture many more interesting perspectives in their work. Through an inclination of observation as a way to engage with others, Luu strives to create comics that are rooted in empathy and self-reflection. Major themes in their current work includes issues of identity, class, trauma, and childhood. Luu is currently working on their first graphic novel project, Gray Area, an explorative character study that explores themes of generational abuse and childhood trauma, and how these things can essentially flaw your own sense of self.

I am an expressionist painter living and working in Washington with a focus on creating paintings that embody movement, energy, and light. My work puts cognitive thinking in the foreground, letting the viewer discover things along the way. Each artwork is painted with a mix of expressionism and abstraction, with bold colorful flowing lines. I am looking to speak to the existence of our being from the analytical to the sublime.
