Jeff Baij
Jeff Baij works in a large variety of mediums from digital animations to photographs. His work seems to have no major focus or theme. it is interesting to see the different mediums in which jeff selects to construct a piece. in one piece Jeff constructed a gif titled Krist or Andy, Krist and Andy are both featured in quickly cutting images from one to the other, making it hard to tell which is which.
Jeff’s work does not intrest me too much, i feel that the majority of his works are mindless attempts to capture the audience with a new medium, which he himself has a loose grasp on. i find his work dull and uninspired, but i did find that his sense of humor shined through his works.

Matthew Ritchie
Matthew Ritchie creates massive paintings down to minuscule iron workings. his art work plays with positive and negative space, and does so with great skill. Matthew Ritchie”s metal work play off the same concept of positive and negative space creating some hunting organic forms.
I found Matthew Ritchie’s pieces to be incredible, the attention to detail is mindblowing and the use of light in some of his pieces creates a secondary pieces which is also played up very well. his work appears to flow yet looks like its attention to detail makes you wonder how something like his work could be done. he also does many of his pieces on the floor adding a strange feeling of bringing the view closer to the art.
John Michael Boling
John’s work was primarily done with websites, image alteration and streaming videos. his work is not focused on any one topic and feels like something someone would link you while in a bad chatroom or online forum. in fact some of John Michael Boling’s work does come from compiled forum posts. i found my self wanting something more from his work. its not enough to alter historic images or create a video of you surfing the internet, that doesn’t draw me in to view your art.
