Dorks. Isn't that derogatory? Not from where I'm
standing. A dork, nerd, geek, weirdo, whatever, is
someone who doesn't fit into a cleanly defined mold of
what a person should be in our culture. It is someone
that is usually looked down on for not living up to a
standard of normalcy. I think that suits us just fine
The Art Dorks, originally the brainchild web
community of Brendan Danielsson, quickly evolved
into a collective of artists. Our work is really not easy
to define. The influences range from the 1980's to the
1880's and we each bring a different feel to the mix.
While we tend to associate with the lowbrow kind of
thing, don't define us by that. We all share a love of
drawing and whether we make monsters or meat,
robots or rabbits, it is work that revels in and
celebrates growing up in a pop-culture, sci-fi, kung-fu
cornucopia of a culture.
We make what we know, and what we know is that life is
not always normal. It doesn't always wear name brand
clothes, drink light beer and watch Monday night
football. It's just life. If I can say one thing about our
work, it is that it is a celebration of the things we love as
people. What else should you make art about?
