Madison’s artist statement: “I am Madison Newton but my art name is Wadis0n and I work with both digital and Handmade art pieces. I’d consider myself mostly a “Character Illustrator”. I make a lot of anthropomorphic characters. Most of these characters are animals and monsters with weird combinations and colors. I work in a cartoon style with popping color. I love creating visual things for people to look at. It creates a connection when they look at my characters and feed off the emotions they portray. Each character I make has a back story and fits into a stereotype that people can relate to themselves. Art itself is very important to me as a means of expression and creativity. It’s a way to put what is on my mind out on paper.”
“To create these art pieces I use a digital drawing tablet called the intous 5. This allows me to draw on the computer and work with my digital work. I use the drawing program Paint Tool SAI to fully create and render my work. When it comes to my hand made work, I use pens, pencils, Prisma Color markers, acrylic paints, and anything I can get my hands on.”
