Osmosis (United States) by Nick Sokoloff
They guard art. They make art. No one spends more time around the world's most famous artwork than the security guards that protect them.
But did you know that a lot of those security guards are artists themselves? Every day, they put a full shift guarding the most expensive art in the world. Then, they moonlight trying to break into the art world themselves.

Darwin Nix (United States) by Brice Goldberg
Darwin Nix is an artist living and working in the small town of Evergreen, Alabama. Darwin grew up in Evergreen and has returned after living in Memphis, Philadelphia and Santa Fe as an accomplished fine art painter. His current work strives to subvert the overt confederate sentimentality he has witnessed since returning to the south. Living alone and with very few funds, Darwin has created a series of radical protest paintings and sculptures that reflect and antagonize what he deems to be a cultural inbreeding of ignorance and stupidity.
