Brian Teters is constantly laboring over a fantastic body of work at Portland Art and Learning Studios (PALS). He collages kind feelings onto an encyclopedia of cinema and pop-music references. Oftentimes, Brian’s collaged drawings take the form of letters and notes distributed to PALS staff. Elephants, rhinos, markers, cut-out Toy Story characters, and traceable shapes litter Brian’s desk, collapsing foreground and background, and merging into a thoughtful and associative celebration of fandom. Brian is an avid cyclist who loves the Oregon Coast, especially the Cape Meares Lighthouse.
