about brian
WHO: Brian J. Giordano (I took her last name because it's the cooler last name... and there's too much trauma with the Smith name).
WHAT: I work primarily as a digital artist. As an artist I explore themes of childhood trauma through the lens of early 90's nostalgia, ufology, folklore, and the paranormal. I'm interested in using the language of hope and futurism instilled in the Sci-fi genre to focus on concepts of mental health in relation to enforced gender roles and societal expectations - and I came here to party!
WHEN: Circa 1984. In 1989 I saw a goblin in my bedroom. In 2006 I met Virginia (I was in Florida, she was in California). I sent her some letters and paintings and told her to watch David Lynch's Dune. In 2008 I asked her to be my girlfriend and then moved across the country to be with her and we've been together since! I am an art school drop out and studied Illustration and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.
WHERE: People ask me where I'm from and it's hard to answer. I grew up a military brat, we moved every three years. The longest state I lived in is California (1991-1997, 2009-2017), so I'm pretty comfortable now saying that is where I am from. Currently, we reside in the high desert in the great American Southwest (Vegas)!
WHY: For my inner child, and for my actual children (they're cats).
HOW: Star Trek, comics (X-Men and Daredevil), heavy metal, coffee, jazz music, magic, aliens, Virginia, our cats, Bill & Ted, Science-fiction and Fantasy books, homemade pizzas, and Sega Genesis.
about virginia
WHO: Virginia Giordano.
WHAT: I work primarily in ink, graphite, acrylic, and clay. I enjoy creating stylized portraits with symbolic narratives that feature people who don't exist but who are part of subcultures that very much do exist. My recent work has focused on the relationship between Heavy Metal, traditional gender roles, personal and historic mythology, with a good dash of nostalgia and fantasy.
WHEN: Born in 1986. In 2006 I met Brian. In 2012 I earned a BFA with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. That same year I started Bath Sabbath.
WHERE: Currently Las Vegas but the heart frequently traverses to Los Angeles and back again.
WHY: For our sons (pictured below).
HOW: Comic books, coffee, cats, power metal, Romanticism, tea, Medievalism, magic, lingering Catholic guilt, Brian, Fantasy books, the color orange, Pre-Raphaelites, eyeliner, pickles and mustard.
