OPENING RECEPTION:
April 5th - 6 - 8pm

They’re akward, anti-social and a little disturbed, just like you. Come see new works by local artist Justin Hillgrove and remember, they’re more afraid of you...

Justin Hillgrove grew up in Snohomish, WA and has been enjoying artistic expression since he was old enough to color on the walls. He studied Design and Illustration at Seattle Central and has since enjoyed many years of freelance illustration and design, working on everything from collectible card games to bobble heads.

Justin's “Imps and Monsters” series is his creative outlet. The creatures depicted and the satyrical situations they find themselves in are reflections of moments which Justin finds amusing, many of which are inspired by his children. Many other sources influence and inspire Justin's work. Friends and family, and great artists like Nathan Jurevicius, Tim Burton, Hayao Miyazaki and Gary Baseman.
