Marc Travanti

Marc Travanti (born April 25, 1956) is an American contemporary artist who lives and works in New York and Wisconsin.
==Biography ==
Marc Travanti (born April 25, 1956) is an American contemporary artist. His practice spans a broad range of media including painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and video..
He was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He received a BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater and an MFA from the University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder. In the early 1980s, he was part of New York City’s emerging art scene in the East Village, Manhattan. He currently lives and works in New York and Wisconsin.
==Art== 
Travanti’s art subscribes to the tenets of postmodernism which opposes both certainty and the stability of meaning. He uses sensuality and ambiguity to deal with divergent conditions in contemporary life. Much of his work exposes connections in dissimilar subjects such as cell towers and early 20th century American sculpture; African masks and corporate logos; naked human bodies and stock market charts; and portraits of the living with renowned portraits from the distant past. His art has both abstract and associative connotations. He arranges shapes and forms in rhythmical passages, with much attention paid to edge and direction. Emblematic or totemic compositions are often used, particularly in his sculptural wall work . His art has been described as “modern artifacts; a combination of primal elements of simple organic shapes with a modern sensibility”. It has also been called perversely playful. . His video work features cross-dissolves of his photographs and photocollages. His video entitled Entanglement, “shows male and female figures twined around each other in ways that evoke tantric sex, wrestling, and the incarnations of Hindu deities"
==Exhibitions==
Travanti’s art has been exhibited throughout New York City in galleries including New Museum, The John Davis Gallery, The Jack Tilton Gallery , and Nurture Art. In the Midwest, he has had solo exhibitions at The Kenosha Public Museum in his hometown of Kenosha, WI, and RAM’s Racine Art Museum in Racine WI.

Marcel Santos

Marcel Santos (born in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian-American artist based in Los Angeles, California. Santos’ work features sketches and oil paintings about the nightlife and social scene of Los Angeles.
==Early Life==
Santos was born in São Paulo, Brazil from a family of art director and graphic designer. He started creating art before he started attending elementary school, drawing for his friends and family. His earliest inspiration for art was the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", in particular the character Jessica Rabbit. </ref> He moved to Los Angeles, California in the 1990's. 
==Career==
Prior to painting professionally Marcel did street art on the boardwalks around Los Angeles and freelanced as a storyboard artist and a comic book pencil artist. 
In his early 20's, a couple of gallery owners encountered Santos doing live boardwalk paintings and they were instantly allured by his style of art. They commissioned a collection of paintings to be shown at their gallery and as a result, Santos created his first painting collection titled "LA Nights".
Since his first collection of art, Santos has continued to produce many paintings for both the public and private owners. Among his collectors are Joe Rogan,https://www.instagram.com/p/CZdbWBOriQS/ Russell Petershttps://www.instagram.com/p/B7Eq3aJlpRE/, Mike Tyson, Freddie Prinze Jr. and his wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Sérgio Mendeshttps://www.instagram.com/p/wt588rj36p/ to name a few.
==Style==
Santos’ primary intent in his works is to tell a story in a contemporary and modern fashion. Not only does the piece’s visual language tell a story but the pieces themselves are an output of a story behind it. The element of story is important for the artist because it is what inspires the artist himself to create. Without a story that he finds interesting, there is no work to be produced. Santos believes that ultimately clients are not looking at a single piece of painting just for the paint on canvas, but the energy that is being communicated by the artist behind the painting. To Santos, that energy is the story and that is why it is such an integral part of every one of his work.
A unique approach that Santos has in approaching creation is "working backwards". Santos always titles the paining before he even picks up the first brush. The elements that inspire him to write titles are the nightlife and the happenings around his lifestyle.
==Personal Life==
Santos is a long time practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu who started training at the age of 6. He is a Black Belt under 7th degree Coral Belt Jean Jacques Machado https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzOijidGtKYhttps://jeanjacquesmachado.com/students/belts/black/ and trains law enforcement officers and celebrities for their upcoming projects.

Marcelo Feldman

Marcelo Feldman (aka The Bass Wizard) is an American bassist and Youtuber based in Los Angeles, California.
He is best known for his unique style of bass playing and for creating solo bass arrangements of songs, many of which have gone viral across social media and have been viewed and shared millions of times on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
He has also played and toured with many artists including Olivia Holt, Mitchel Musso, Billy Unger, Mark Salling, Lilian Garcia, Porcelain Black, Ricky Rebel, Carly Smithson, Steve Rushton amongst many other local Los Angeles artists.
== Career ==
Marcelo Feldman attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA from 2003-2006. 
After graduating from Berklee in 2006, he spent a year in Boston playing in local wedding bands and corporate bands in order to gain more experience as a performer and save up money to move to Los Angeles.
In early 2007, he made the move to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of being a session and touring bassist.
In late 2006 just before the move, Feldman began posting videos on Youtube playing covers in many different styles. He did this in order to have videos online to show music directors and musicians he would meet and connect with in Los Angeles. This was before Instagram and Facebook video existed, social media videos were not popular yet and very few people were doing this back then. 
This not only planted the seed for what would eventually become his Youtube and social media career (his channel now has over 100K subscribers), but one of those videos also caught the attention of Mitchel Musso’s music director and led to one of his first big breaks in the LA music scene- touring with Musso, who at the time was starring alongside Miley Cyrus in the hit TV show Hannah Montana.
Feldman has since worked and toured with many artists, played on TV shows like the Today Show, Tonight Show, Glee, Disney’s “So Random!” and movies like Rock of Ages.

Marcia Drut-Davis

Marcia Drut-Davis is an American author, blogger, and activist who is a pioneering figure and advocate within the childfree movement.
Drut-Davis, who considers herself a supporter of all personal and parenting choices, is an internationally-recognized voice in the movement for acceptance of adults who choose not to have children. Her particular focus is on individuals who face serious stigma and social misunderstanding because of that choice.
On Mother’s Day, May 12th, 1974, Drut-Davis appeared with her then-husband on the U.S. television news show 60 Minutes during an episode profiling three couples who had chosen not to have children. They were filmed explaining this decision to her husband's parents who shared their disapproval on the air. Both 60 Minutes host Mike Wallace and viewers of the show expressed a negative reaction to these childfree couples. The day after her 60 Minutes television appearance, Drut-Davis lost her job as a substitute teacher with the Longwood Central School District in Yaphank, NY. She also received death threats.
Between 1974 and 1977, Drut-Davis was president of the Long Island chapter of the National Alliance for Optional Parenthood (formerly National Organization for Non-Parents). She also worked in various roles in sales, including opening up a Long Island branch of Admail, a direct mail coupon company.
Upon turning 80 years old in 2022, Drut-Davis proclaimed that she had zero regrets about her childfree choice and had lived a life full of joy, adventure, freedom and "heart connections" with many dear and close friends as a result.
Drut-Davis is the author of two best-selling books: Confessions of a Childfree Woman and What? You Don't Want Children? She is also featured in two documentaries: "To Kid or Not To Kid" by Maxine Trump, and "My So-Called Selfish Life" by Therese Shechter.
