Thomas is a visual artist and photographer based out of Atlanta, Georgia who has developed a style that he calls “painterly photo montage” – a method he employs in editing software in which he crafts elaborately textured pieces that have a very organic, non-digital look to them. Although his artwork resembles paintings, his pieces are entirely photographic in nature, fusing many images into a cohesive whole.

15: Stop worrying what others think and BE YOURSELF (w/ Patty Lesser)
Patty Lesser is a writer and world traveler, and frankly I don’t know if I should put those two in reverse order… world traveler first and writer second, because you have spent so much time in so many different places, which, by the way, makes me INSANELY jealous. Some of those places include Nova Scotia, Israel, Dominican Republic, Australia, England, Holland, and Belgium.

12: BONUS! Explore the noosphere (w/ DZO)
DZO Olivier is a self-taught painter and illustrator from France. The simple, three-letter alias of DZO represents a divergence from his career in graphic arts and into the noosphere, which is defined as a postulated sphere or stage of evolutionary development dominated by consciousness, the mind, and interpersonal relationships. His work is both haunting and awe-inspiring and feels as if it could come from either religious or occult texts. A few moments with one of DZO’s unique works will make you wonder where you’ve seen such chilling beauty before, and make you wonder if maybe it was within your own mind.
Today, DZO answers some of our questions about what drives him and how he maintains his creativity.
