American but from a different geographic area
of the United States of America. Their works
of art are as diversified as there are regions of
the country.

6. Style
• Mr. Bradford is an artist that makes large
collage pieces. Many of his pieces have
detailed line and moderate to broad color
contrast .The art work that Mr. Bradford is in
front of was made in May of 2011. My take on
his work is called the Disney trip.

7. INFO
• Michael Ray Charles was born in 1967 in
Lafayette, Louisiana, and graduated from
McNeese State University in Lake Charles,
Louisiana, in 1985. In college, he studied
advertising design and illustration, eventually
moving to painting, his preferred medium.
Charles also received an MFA degree from the
University of Houston in 1993.

8. STYLE
• Mr. Charles work is very offensive and yet
demands a conversation about the topics he
picks. Mr. Charles work center around sambas
minstrels and mammy's. The post photo
depicts a black devil with a racist comment
partially block out by Mr. Charles body.
Suburban Nightmare was drawn in the spirit
of Mr. Charles Work.

different from each other. Each one has their
own success and rate of creation. Some are
much more time consuming than other
however the end result is worth the wait.
