nder the odd name of DZO (in capital letters) is Olivier, a self taught artist and freelance designer from the South of France. Thanks to a family with an artistic affinity, the young Olivier graduated from the School of Fine Arts of Toulouse and begun a successful career in graphic design. But with the creation of the artistic counterpart that is DZO, the French artist wished to go deeper into his exploration of the “noosphere”, a philosophical concept about human thought. For DZO is more than your usual artist. His art, speaks to the old etchings and engravings of religious and occult manuscripts, flirts with alchemy, witchcraft and blasphemy. It is at the same time disturbing, haunting and stimulating.
His intricate drawings, full of enigmatic detail, mix sensuality, darkness and mythology. The message beyond the lines are sibylline, surrounding the world of DZO with mystery and fascination. "

Toby Stretch grew up in rural northern Appalachia where he ran about the woods as a kid with his wild brothers imagining other worlds, beings and stories. His films utilize mostly self taught stop motion animation, along with some new signature animation techniques that he has invented. Having lived in Philadelphia since 1999 he continues to capture both rural and urban landscapes for his surreal animated beings to live in. The characters in these worlds are often life-sized armatured puppets that function as outdoor animated sculptures that tell a story. Shooting for long hours out in the elements has brought about heat exhaustion and dehydration in the Summers and minor frostbite and hypothermia in the Winters, not to mention all the wacky incidents that have occurred while shooting animation in the tough Philly streets at 4am. All for the art.
