The art of Teddy M. Haggarty is best classified as primitivism. Simple recurring figures show in his pieces, but they have a level of growth and evolution that fills them with life. Unicorns, snakes and mermaids frequent his fantasy landscapes fleshed out in colors that range from bright primary to the softest of pastels.
Because animals are beautiful (even the ugly ones), can be so easily personified, are silly at times, have curves, and come in such a variety of packages - I am constantly, and permanently inspired. The creation of sculpture challenges my ability to capture an animal that is interesting from every viewpoint, to express its posture and spirit, and to give it "life". The medium of my choice and experience, hybridized concrete, allows me to create hollow, lightweight pieces with endless color, finishing and texturing possibilities. As a bonus, the medium is hardy, and can live indoors, or out. I thrive on puns, and often work word plays into the theme of a piece in order to provoke a thought, or to instill "fun" – a feeling of playful spirit - and if you smile, I feel I’ve done my job.

We're a bunch of hooligans who like to paint together to spend quality time exercising our demons on canvas and (soon to come) other media. Kind of like the Dada movement, but less type treatment experiments, as of yet. www.myspace.com/hogbot
These are clothes made out of clothes made out of clothes. Triple reverse recycling and you can do it too. We love to make things for you, by your imagination, with our imagination. There are so many things we have made, there are so many people that are happy to have them. Leave us a comment if you are wearing our clothes, send us an email if you want some. Go to Urban X Change (1935 Pacific Ave. Tacoma Wa.) and find some things we have made already...:) www.myspace.com/loyaltyclothing
