artist bios:
AARON BELMAN
Aaron Belman’s illustration work centers on the expressive power of the human face. Transformations captures moments of tension, humor, and introspect through bold lines with each portrait telling a story. His style blends contemporary influences with a deep appreciation for visual storytelling, inviting viewers to pause and feel the emotional undercurrents behind each gaze. You can find more of his work on instagram @aaronbelman_art or on his website www.aaronbelmanart.com .


TESS DUKESHIRE
This piece is a nod to the iconic Bernie moment at the 2021 inauguration—bundled up, masked up, and clearly not there for the spectacle. I loved how effortlessly relatable and unbothered he looked, so I wanted to capture that with warm colors and a cozy, soft vibe. It’s part meme, part comfort image, and all about finding small joys in weird, unprecedented times.
