My educational training has provided me with a broad knowledge of Fine Art, including Digital Art, Video Art, Animation filmmaking, Game design, Time- based Media, Book Art, Printmaking, Drawing, Painting and various other media. As a digital artist, I have a great passion for the technical and creative aspects of the entertainment industry. I am especially enthusiastic about animation, technical art, and game design.

Raphael Cornford lives and works in Bloomington, Indiana while fondly calling Oakland, CA home. Raphael works across print, installation, bookmaking, and digital media to create immersive, engaging, and challenging experiences. He is, in addition to showing regularly across the country, currently writing and drawing a comic, curating work at the recently opened NOISE Gallery / Residency, writing essays and short stories, and learning more about the wonders of cast iron cooking.

Raphael is an educator, artist, activist, occasional musician, and would prefer to have gone for a run today, all things considered. Raphael prefers being addressed as Raph, and very much considers himself a collaborative artist: contact him if you'd like.

Leaves of Crows

Mark Blaney is a local painter and sculptor.

"Painting and sculpting help with seeing closely into the world around me. I simply get pleasure from the many forms lit by the sun. The movement and interactions among people, plants, animals and weather are reason enough to make symbols. Working in two and three dimensional media helps me hold onto thoughts for awhile and to share them. The variations and descriptive qualities of line and color hold my interest and every new painting is a chance at working and playing in form and color. The trading of time between sculpture and painting strengthens both efforts."
