What The Deuce Are You Staring At!?!
A Collection of Interpretive Work Inspired by Family Guy
In an industry first, Fox commissioned this series of original art as a
celebration of the passion of the "Family Guy" fans and the creative spirit
embodied in the show.
Twenty-one artists of the Lowbrow Pop Movement have taken the show's characters,
design and sensibility as a starting point and literally let their imaginations
run wild.
The result is a wholly original and eclectic series of images in a variety of
media that bear the unmistakable "Family Guy" imprint through the prism of each
artist's entirely unique style and perspective.
"Luke Chueh vs. The Family Guy - Brian Griffin" by Luke

Artist Info:
Born in Philadelphia, but raised in Fresno, Luke Chueh's (pronounced CHU)
formal art education began and ended at California Polytechnic State University,
San Luis Obispo where he earned a BS in Art & Design (Graphic Design
concentration). Before graduating, he was employed by the Ernie Ball Company,
working in-house as designer/illustrator. While there, Chueh was responsible for
several award winning designs and was featured in the design annuals of
Communication Arts and Print Magazine. At the same time, he also created,
produced, wrote, designed, edited and published "E.X.P.," a 'zine dedicated to
the "Intelligent Dance Music (IDM)" genre. In 2003, Chueh moved to Los Angeles
to further pursue a career in design. However, a lack of employment
opportunities left him resorting to painting as a way to keep busy (a habit he
picked up while attending Cal Poly). He got his start when Los Angeles' premiere
underground art show, Cannibal Flower, invited him to show at their monthly
events. Since then, Chueh has quickly worked his way up the ranks of the LA art
scene, establishing himself as an artist not to be ignored. Employing minimal
color schemes, simple animal characters and a seemingly endless list of
ill-fated situations, Chueh stylistically balances cute with brute, walking the
fine line between comedy and tragedy.

Kathie Olivas is a multi-media artist who resides in Tampa, FL. At 30, she
has been featured in numerous galleries across the globe and is represented in
the permanent collection at the Tampa Museum of Art. She received her bachelor's
degree in visual arts from the University of South Florida. Inspired by early
American portraiture that often depicted children as small adults in an
idealized new land, her work focused on idealized characters that parallel this
vision within their own sense of post-apocalyptic conformity, uniquely
documenting their own stories in a mysterious brave new world.

"Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time" by Brandt Peters

Artist Info:
"Having grown up on the West Coast most of my life and coming from a family
of uber 'antique' collectors and artists, my eclectic upbringing was filled with
a wide range of 'Pop' ephemera. Many of those inspirations now show up in my
work and stem from the backdrop of my childhood. The Subject of my paintings is
a world of side-show icons, deviant Animalia and masked glorified cartoon alter
egos. I utilize these icons and character cultures as antithetical counterparts
to what we are lead to believe as being innocent and socially acceptable.
Although misfits on the surface, a sense of relation is understood, secret from
the public - we are all misfits; hiding behind animated personas, odd and
beautifully unusual. Who is it that we relate to? The lonely little boy hiding
in a bear suit, the evil lustful pool-hall wolf, the sexualized little girl who
secretly wants more. The envirionment and its limited population are meant to
conjure these questions, the viewer are confronted with finding their own
answers." Brandt Elling Peters is a self taught artist currently living in
Tampa, FL with his wife, fellow artist, Kathie Olivas and their two dogs Bailey
and Diego. He has been exhibiting in numerous galleries across the US, Canada
and recently Europe.

career of concept art and storyboarding. Mark's work has been featured in the
New York and Los Angeles Society of Illustrators, Playboy magazine, and is

A concoction of the City of Angels, a mutation if you will, of this
disgustingly, beautiful city. Or so it seems sometimes.... It's not all
glamorous here in Hollywood, quite the opposite most of the time, yet never
boring. So how does this play into my career as an artist? Well, it doesn't,
just wanted to get it off my chest! At 19, I was blessed with a job as an
animator on 'the Simpsons,' you know, them yellow people.. Now at 30, I STILL
work on the show, except I do illustration and toy design, for the show of
course. Long time with Homer, I tell ya! So for the last two years or so, I
submerged myself in Photoshop and Painter, trying to get somewhat a grip on
them. My eventual goal is to become a concept designer ala Ryan Church, Feng
Zshu, the masters of their field. I know I have a ways, but I have much
inspiration to draw upon!

The only son of two talented artists, Joe Vaux learned the joys of creation
at an early age. He has been honing his skills for the past 15 years - first
receiving a BFA from Syracuse and then working with the many wonderfully
creative folks of the animatino world. Joe has worked on everything from Spawn
to Harold and the Purple Crayon to his current position on Family Guy. Although
he has always been pursuing his own projects, he has only been showing his work
for the past six years. Joes' work is truly imaginative. He is able to create
entire worlds around the simplest of things. The worlds he creates are dark, but
playful at the same time. You can look over and over at his paintings and still
find new inhabitants. Joe's work has appeared in many galleries on the West
Coast.
