Born in 1974, the vitality in cartoons and comic book imagery held an early fascination on the young mind of Alex Meyer. However, it wasn't until after three years at the University of Colorado as an Electrical Engineering and Kinesiology major and a stint in the Army Reserves that he abandoned a practical career course and committed himself to art. Graduating from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver with a BFA in Illustration, he has strived to improve as a painter and illustrator. His paintings have been shown in Th'Ink Tank Gallery of Denver, and he has participated in group shows at La Luz de Jesus and Gallery Bink of Portland. A mixture of cartoons, pinup, and fantasy art, his work is a product of the rigors of technique haunted by the cravings of the flesh, of proportion in conflict with depravity, of optimism coupled with irony. The aim of this petty psychologist can best be stated in the abstract: to take it to the naked edge - and, of course... beyond!
