Tes One is a contemporary artist and graphic designer based out of Florida, and a member of the Thunderdog Collective. He blurs the line between graffiti art and graphic design, contemporary art and commercial pursuits. At the core is his passion for the art of design. Tes explores contrast --the integration of analog and digital, retro and modern, the photographic and the painterly. His paintings are done entirely by hand, inspired by photography.  His paintings may to the viewer at first seem like a digital creation, a trompe l'œil effect in many ways tied to Tes' graffiti roots. Graffiti, of course, always makes you look twice.
