Steven Cerio: Steven Cerio is an artist who has spent over two decades relentlessly documenting a universe devoid of death and decay. A prominent rock poster and magazine illustrator, his work is best known from his ongoing collaboration with San Francisco-based, performance art and music group, The Residents. Cerio's work spans all mediums from magazine and book illustrations to posters, iPod skins, gallery walls, film, animation and posters. His art was featured in the Annie Sprinkle HBO Special and his "Happy Birthday" animation ran every morning on the Nickelodeon cable channel for seven years.

Reviews

"Cerio's art is excellent throughout; even when it borders on nonsense, it's gorgeous nonsense." --Publishers Weekly "Cerio has definitely found the fracture in the cosmos that allows him to find the smiling hippo, bumble bee, or worm. In his artwork, everything is vibrating with life, from the coffee cups to the houses." --Carole Nicksin, JUXTAPOZ magazine "Steven Cerio can best be described as suffering dark influences while being carried by his pregnant mother who witnessed a truck full of calamari run through the wall of a toothpick factory." --Robert Williams.
