New Artifacts from the Cave of Stories
Noah Pierce as Carin O'Heep

"New Artifacts from the Cave of Stories" shows the artwork process behind the book "Little Hopkins and the Big Scribble," product of the author/illustrator Noah Pierce under his adopted creative personality, Carin O'Heep, a twin spirit. Consider this as Carin's book, where the twin brothers Noah and younger sister Holly inspired Hopkins & Bonnie's characters, respectively. Life lost touches the tale's heart, which explores the use of art to cope with loss & trauma

In his words, "For many .years I made comics, zines, designs and paintings in my own little world before it occurred to me to make a picture book. I found the process of trying to do a new thing the right way to be extremely challenging but greatly satisfying, so I saved a lot of stuff. I think that by including my notes, storyboards, trials and errors alongside the finished pages, you can peek behind the curtain to see an important truth: the artist is a human, just like you."

Finger Paintings
Andrew Magee

Raised in an academically accomplished family, Magee had an enriched artistic childhood. He focused on zoological subjects. His avian illustrations were included in a bird identification manual published by a Massachusetts Wildlife agency. Later in life, he settled on making large action paintings with organic references. He makes these with thick oil paints applied with his fingers in latex gloves. 

Peter Mishkin
​Ways of Seeing



Selecting what to represent in a painting is a defining act. What an painter sees is specific to that person. Mishkin chooses limited details rendered in color harmony. His abstract paintings are presented along side of still life canvases.
