Miles Thompson
July 3 - Aug 2, 2009
Miles Thompson has cultivated his inspirations from his home state of California’s history and culture with specific interest in its abundant natural resources and unique inherent beauty within. His works draw from the myriad of inhabitants living here regardless of species or nationality, a deep love of surf and comic culture, and macabre supernatural Mexican pulp roots. With surfers, girls, tikis, cartoon characters and hobos as his cast of characters, Thompson’s work is quite a ride for the senses. A lifelong surfer who grew up in the Californian sun and Pacific waters of the cowboy coast, Thompson has lived in coastal Orange County, Tijuana adjacent San Diego and Los Angeles. Coming out of the character animation program at CalArts, Miles eventually went on to do various shorts for Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Animation Festival, and since has worked on television shows for Nickelodeon, Disney, Film Roman and Warner Brothers. |
