ARTISTS LISTED ALPHABETICALLY
JOE GUY ALLARD
Building on his background in graphic arts, Joe Guy picked up a brush and began painting by—poorly—imitating his biggest influences from the pages of art magazines. Over a decade later, he now uses his own signature approach and color palette to create pieces which have been displayed in businesses, galleries and homes in both U.S. & Canada. Inspired by his memories of Saturday-morning cartoons and his life-long love of terrible horror movies, he creates artwork that is at once grim, awkward and curiously adorable. The artist’s use of bright colors and bold lines with an often ominous narrative is a conscious attempt to push the line between the fantastic and the horrific.
JOHN MAGNUS CHAMPLIN
A glorified doodler, renaissance man and all around friendly fella. He's one of the more social members of the team. Not only an illustrator, painter, and mixed media man, but also a PR and social media guru. Known for knowing everyone, Magnus is happy to use his powers for good, and to spread the awesome which is The Dudes Night Out to the Roc and eventually the world. Look for the really wordy descriptions, and you'll be sure to find his art!
EUGENE COMMODORE
Eugene is an Illustrator/Graphic Designer from Queens New York (born and raised). Currently working as a freelance sketch card artist for such trading card companies as Rittenhouse, UpperDeck and 5Finity.
BRAD DARUSZKA
I get a lot of different ideas and think of a lot of different ways to execute the idea, then somehow it gets done. I like playing in various media, so I can't really say I have a certain kind of 'thing' that I do, but I do put thought into the things i do, do. I just made you mind read do-do... hehe. One thing for certain is that I love and have always been inspired by all things Halloweenish. All of my art work that is Halloween based I umbrella under the term of my ongoing series: Halloweengasm. The subset of that being My Bonerz series which is well.... if you want to know I guess you'll just have to stalk me more.
RANDY DUNCAN
Having been born with an extra arm, he took to drawing and painting and sculpting, many of these at the same time.... This is how come he is so fricking prolific! At meetings he is constantly doodling, during meals, doodling, in his sleep, doodling, the guy needs a hobby. You can help him and his affliction by purchasing all of his work, once the demand exceeds his output, a cure will be in sight. Thank you in advance.

AARON HUMBY
Rochester-based artist Aaron Humby has been working creatively since age 5. Through the years he has produced an array of art in many different styles. He has worked from his raw talent and has been driven by the love of creating. Pencil, ink, paper and paint are all he needs to be artistically happy. Humby is best known for his whimsically humorous illustration and facial portraits featuring beautifully crafted expressions. His art is still growing, still evolving and you never know what he'll come up with next.
JES KARAKASHIAN
This seemingly ordinary mother of two has a dark side: a perhaps unhealthy obsession with all things zombie, that which are ghoulish, and things that go bump in the night. Producing art from an early age, she never succumbed to the demands of her art teachers, refusing to paint fruit in bowls and happy little trees. It's all about the unique and creative for this gal. "Art minus pretense" is her motto. It's all about having fun and breaking the mold.
GIA CONTI
I'm a self taught artist with an affinity for insects,sea creatures and various monsters ...I see the the beauty in all life forms and I hope I can shed a new and beautiful light on over looked and imaginary life forms...I love the intense and fluid nature of watercolor and I like to create highly saturated,tasty paintings full of vibrant color.
BEN MORICONI
This Rochester born miscreant is using his self taught digital painting skills to claw his way out of the gutter,one pixelated brush stroke at a time.
MEGHAN MURPHY
Meghan is an illustrator, designer, and painter who likes to explore that sweet spot between the cute and the weird. She is especially fond of drawing monsters and movies and things with faces (that don't usually have faces.)
JOHN PERRY
Born and raised in Rottenchester New York. I paint and I draw but not necessarily in that order. Art found me, I didn't find it and some many years later we still have a love/hate relationship.
MATT ROBERTS
The leader of the Dudes, Matt is an RIT Illustration Alum who is well versed is most traditional media and sculpture. He has been drawing monsters since he was a wee child. Fueled with imagination and a few beers Matt will draw or make anything into a critter.
JOHN SCHLIA
I grew up swimming in photo chemicals in my father's darkroom. I carried my love of photography through high school and on to the University at Buffalo, where I majored in photo. After graduation I started my own business and I love every minute of it.
COLLEEN C VIRDI
By day she is a mild mannered receptionist but by night she is a paintbrush wielding artist who vows to rid the world of boring art one kick ass painting at a time.
