Meet the Artists & Friends of Manik Grafik

I hold a belief that artists should collaborate. Whether your medium is music, painting, photography or any other form of artistic endeavor, how better to grow than sharing your experiences with other people who do what you do? Gone, it seems, are the times when great artists like Van Gogh, Matisse and Lautrec, would sit over a cup of cafe au lait or a bottle of wine and discuss art and all of its facets and how to better communicate their visions.

So, I have created the "Artist's Corner" to sort of put us back on that path. I have asked the artists presented here if they would mind being showcased on this site, in the hopes that other artists would like to also present themselves and collaborate. A sort of meeting ground, if you will, for artists to check out other artist's websites.

If you would either like to be listed here on my site, or know someone who might like to be shown here, tell me about them! You can contact me by clicking the "Email" button above.

I hope by looking through some of these artist's work you are as inspired as I have been.

Vibralux!!
So, there I am, sitting in this little bar downtown and here comes this CRAZY band to play next. This band Freaking ROCKS!!

If you are into hard-core trans-gendered Rock & Roll, these boys (uh, girls) are for you! I can't wait until they come back! Expect Manik Grafik to be following this group and look for their upcoming dates in the Special Events Calender.

Brian Robinson
A dear friend, fellow musician and brilliant composer, Brian Robinson is a welcome addition to the Artist's Corner. I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing both Brian and his wife Andrea for about eight years now - how time flies!

A graduate of the Mannes College Of Music, Brian has a distinct style that sets him apart from just about any other composer I have ever met. Go and check it out. He also sells AWESOME T-Shirts!!

Roger Kuhn - Let the beauty & the light shine!
I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to have Mr. Roger Kuhn a part of Manik Grafik. A friend and collegue, Roger has brought a world of creativity into my life – as well as a LOT of good Karma.

Roger has displayed his talents all over Manhattan including bars and nightclubs such as; Bar "B", Hanna's Lava Lounge, The Slipper Room and The Web. If you haven't been to his website, please take a moment and visit The World Of Roger Kuhn. Make sure you tell him "Manik Grafik Sent Me".

Renée Rotkopf - Visual 1
Renée Rotkopf is a talent like few I have met in my career. She has been the driving force on some of the biggest websites in the country and is still wowing people with her ideas and creativity.

Visual1.net is the portal for Renée's creativity. Stop by and see what she is doing.

Visual 1 - It's all about the art direction!
James Bonacci - A little Down Time
This is the baby of the family. He also happens to be ridiculously talented – and funny enough to make your sides split every time you talk to him.

He is currently working with "Big Brother" to come up with a killer website of his own. In the mean time, Big Brother is happy to host him here. Just click on his pic and it will take you to his portal.

Give him a shout – see if he bites.

Bryan-David Kee
Every now and then, another artist comes along that just makes you go hmmmm. Bryan is definitely one of those people. He is a photographer with a fun sense of color and composition, and his work reflects that.

I have been lucky enough to have him agree to post some of his favorite shots here on Manik Grafik. Take a look and see what I am talking about. This man has a great future ahead of him!
