Now, though, after having lived all over the U.S., including Brooklyn, Denver, Philadelphia, and finally landing in Portland, Oregon, AJ’s work has become an intricate mash-up of various influences.
His creatures morphing into multiple features, seeming to come straight out of the walls from which they’re mounted.
“I do endorse the idea of traveling and moving as much as possible, being attached to nowhere and everywhere simultaneously,” he shares in an interview with fecalface.com. “On the other hand I think having a more permanent workspace has really improved my work. It’s a definite trade off.”

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
AJ Fosik‘s work would actually be a bit scary if they weren’t so brightly, beautifully colorful. The Michigan native is known for crafting 3D wood-based pieces—using both his hands and digital techniques—that call to mind American folk and tribal art, mostly thanks to his use of animals as a main subject and liberal additions of sharp claws, eyes, and teeth.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
