His style is molded from years of deep snow, reeling ocean perfection, and the characters who told the tale along the way. A Brooks Institute graduate, Surfer magazine freelancer at large, and co-instigator for getinthevan.com., Brian is a New Hampshire native and adventure junkie, a surfer, rider, and hiker full of heart. His camera is in hand, dying to share the moment.

Mike Hall completed an illustration degree at the University of Westminster. Crowded urban scenes, architecture and maps – the things you see today in Mike Hall’s artwork go back to his creative beginnings. As a child he loved drawing images full of people and maps of imaginary towns and even entire countries. Architecture usually plays a large role in Mike’s work, either as the primary focus of the illustration, or as something in the background that gives it structure. He’s very interested in topographical views, geography, and conveying a sense of place. Nonetheless, his characters come through just as strongly with crowded, colourful, people scenes giving you plenty to view.
