Brad Maurer
I have several motivations for making art, but mostly I have ideas and I want to see what I can make of them.
Cartoons
Making people laugh is one of my life's pleasures, and that extends into my art. That's my motivation for drawing cartoons.
Drawings
I start many of my drawings with no preconceived idea of what the finished product will be. I start with a line or a pair of eyes and let that suggest what the next element will be. I continue that process until I decide it's finished.
Body Painting
I love working with a model and watching the transformation to the finished painting, and the dissonance between the person you know is there and the information your eyes give you.
I also love working with people who find the experience empowering and positive for their self-image. It's important to provide a comfortable and safe space for everyone to have the best experience possible.
Brad Maurer studied art at Ohio State University and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
