Anthony Schepperd

“Animation gives us the rare opportunity to spill our most coveted attribute, the imagination.”

Anthony Schepperd is an award winning Director and Animator living in Philadelphia, creating works for clients including Nike, The Offspring, Bonobo and most recently a collaborated music video with several other animators produced by Adult Swims "Off the Air".

You're pretty much thrown immediately in Schepperd's psychedelic nightmare-ish realm of face melting metamorphosis and endless shifting palettes. Each work is painstakingly hand drawn, which highlights Schepperd's background of traditional painting twisted with his love of unstoppable movement.

In an interview with Off The Air, Schepperd states "The animation concepts come more from exploring repetition as the driving force behind the illusion of animation", he continues "If characters were to break down they would break down into flesh and blood. Animation breaks down into key frames. So an animated character could break apart into its key frames. It ends up being wildly psychedelic."

If you haven't checked out "Off the Air" already, give it a peek. The first episode was kicked off with Blockhead's music video, "The Music Scene" animated by Schepperd for their 'Animals' episode. Off the Air is a series created by Dave Hughes for Adult Swim. Not a sign of plot or narration, it's an ADHD's dream, showcasing surreal footage based on the episode title and blended without pause into a single continuous video.

fame kills banner

Independent fashion designer – Jared Olsever

There is no formal education or certification required to become a successful fashion designer, but that doesn’t make the feat any easier.

Fame Kills is a Toronto based clothing line that creates graphic apparel using iconic figures. Ranging from t-shirts to crew neck sweaters and more, this brand truly speaks for itself.

Since its inception in 2012, creator, Jared Olsever has evolved the brand beyond his circles causally wearing his gear to full scale fashion shows, pop-up shops with established companies and sales in international markets.

"This brand represents all that is corrupt in the glorification of Hollywood, the music industry, and many other forms of self-indulgent destruction. The reach for a lifestyle that is deemed successful by the media is not a reason for living, the love for what you do is.

Passion drives this brand. Hoping for success through endorsements from big names is not the direction this brands wants; the message alone defines its quality of achievement.

Art is expressed through iconic imagery and every piece is pure quality. Attention to detail and a long process of mostly hand drawn visuals are rendered digitally to create eye-catching graphics."
-Jared Olsever

We interview Olsever for his insights in the fashion industry, his experience and advise for those budding designers looking to start or grow a brand.

Fame Kills Exhibit + Fashion Show

Fame is a destructive force that many of us endure, not withheld just for celebrities. Any increase of attention can prove harmful, leading to more pressure and unwelcome exposure to private matters. We intend to investigate the effects of this force, the theme of the exhibit.
