Put your hands together and make that awesome sound two hands make when coming together for my newest sponsor artist Darin Shock. Darin has been creating prints, posters and mixed media works of art for a couple of years now. A frequent contributor to many Gallery1988 shows along with gigposters for bands like Ween, Yonder Mountain String Band and .moe. He has also recently been exploring a new realm in creating 3-D art using mixed media sculpture consisting primarily of foam, wood, and acrylic paint with great success as every piece he has created has sold quick. He is also the artist that created the Sexual Chocolate poster that everyone wants.
From the mean streets of Owensboro, Kentucky, Darin Shock has always found the strength to focus on his two passions: art, music, movies, and sports. His focus on art, however, allowed him to resist the temptations of Nascar, double negatives, and Larry the Cable Guy quotes that took down so many of his southern companions. In high school he was voted Most Likely to Attend More Schoolin’, so Shock enrolled at Murray State University where he graduated with a 6.4 gpa and was voted "Mofo of the Year" twonce. Upon graduation, Shock embarked on a career in design and illustration and moved to the progressive area of Greater Cincinnati and started State of Shock Studios. Determined to be the greatest artist ever to emerge from Kentucky who doesn’t paint horses and has a verb for a last name, Darin Shock will continue his quest to change the world...via pencil, paper, and Macintosh.
