We thought it might be fun to ask each artist “who are you?”Who is Andy Mueller?
Midwestern transplant living in Los Angeles. A family man. A father, husband, photographer, designer, art guy. Not really sure what else to say… You’re making me feel like some politician who speaks about himself in 3rd person or something.

Who is Morning Breath?
Morning Breath is Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto. In 1996, the two started working together at Think Skateboards in San Francisco. Doug and Jason found early on that they had similar tastes and influences, many of which were associated with the late ’70s and early ’80s: Everything from sniffing glue and punk rock to racking paint and hip hop. Over the years, their creative collaborations continued to expand beyond skateboard graphics, and the need to create a formalized partnership was realized. In 2002, the two founded Morning Breath, a creative studio located in Brooklyn, New York. Doug and Jason now split their creative energy and time between commercial and personal work. In 2006 their first book was published, The Early Bird -The Art and Design of Morning Breath.

Who is Brian Flynn?
Brian Flynn was born in the midst of a hurricane in 1875. After spending his formative years underachieving at various tasks, he decided the world wasn’t ready for his forward-thinking vision of the future and was cryogenically frozen until 1994. After reawakening, Brian hit the streets and decided that ruling the universe through the hidden mysticism of arcane Star Wars references, binary pulsar radio emission patterns, vintage Japanese vinyl toys, and Coca-Cola was the only way to go. His recent works focus on a life-long obsession with ghosts and robots, and the somewhat tangible but perpetually elusive proof that either exists in the same time and space we live in. Working with turned wood, acrylics, vinyl toys, and serigraphs, Brian documents their fleeting nature and renders it permanent with his work. Upcoming shows in San Francisco, Portland, Chapel Hill, Tulsa and Tokyo will undoubtedly find new evidence for your perusal, as well as no less than 16 new vinyl toy figures set to be released by year’s end. Along the way, Brian founded the San Francisco design studio Hybrid Design, which he still oversees along with his wife, designer and artist Dora Drimalas, and the Super7 secret society (the International Toy Pirates) which now consists of separate divisions for magazine and book publishing, toy manufacturing, apparel manufacturing as well as its flagship retail store in the Japantown district of San Francisco (which will be the home to the final Left Field Project – RIGHTtoLEFT show in July). Previous shows include New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, Vancouver B.C., Malaga Spain, and Tokyo Japan. Clients include Apple, Sony, Brand Jordan, Converse, Microsoft, W hotels, Wieden+Kennedy, Juxtapoz magazine, DLX/Real/Spitfire, Upper Playground and a long term relationship with Nike that continues to this day.

Who is Andrew Pommier?
I am a tall skinny sometimes bespectacled white kid who grew up in a northern mining city in Canada. That’s the long and short of it. Those attributes are things that were beyond my control everything else I am I constructed and could easily deconstruct tomorrow.
Oh…I also don’t like baby corn. I think that is important to point out.

Who is Dustin Koop?
First off, I hate it when people write about themselves in the third person, it comes off a bit pompous, or maybe I am just jealous because I can’t afford a rep. If you want to know who I am and see some of my work, don’t Google my name because all you will find are some crappy websites I built in the early 90s, a few Amazon.com book reviews and an embarrassing site where a girl talks about how awesome I am… Strange. I have been meaning to build a portfolio site up for the last eight years, not sure why this has not happened yet.. I do have a crappy personal blog though. Yes, I know, I am pretty awesome. The fact of the matter is I am the most boring person to roam the earth. I have never smoked, I don’t do drugs and I don’t drink, I used to make fake identification for high school kids while on welfare, that’s how I met my wife and got into graphic design.
*Dustin is the Art Director at Transworld Snowboard – If he had a rep, they would have definitely included that in his response.

Who is Duane Fernandez?
What a strange question. Someone once told me: “You are very versatile, adventurous and progressive. You are one of those people who are always striving to find answers to the many questions that life poses. You want to be totally unrestrained, as this is the sign of freedom and independence.” That’s the truth…. I’m the creative director of Left Field Project and I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most creative and passionate minds around. Also, I’m fascinated by ducks.
