Frost 215, the mastermind behind the infamous EL TORO, hails from the one and only city the cheese steak calls home: Philadelphia, PA. As you walk the city streets smelling the sweet aroma of Pat's and Gino's, you're sure to see EL TORO plastered on newspaper bins and street signs. He's in different places in many forms including stickers, paint and markers. However, the character, EL TORO isn't the only work you'll come across from the artist. Frost is currently creating new pieces on canvas and found objects. He believes that Philadelphia has been overshadowed by the monster that is New York City for some time. It's Frost's goal as an artist to break through the darkness and shine a beacon of light on the city of Brotherly Love, thus unveiling the greatness found within the city lines.

AmierInkz is of Colombian-Puerto-Rican descent, born and raised in Brooklyn since 1975.
Crafted in the arts at the young age of 5, he continued but never limited himself from exploring various techniques: acrylics to oils,
Crayolas to Design markers, Brownies to Hassleblad, Magix spray to Rustos, jewelry to tattoos, comics to mantras, etc. In early '88 he
tripped over a Mac and it was a wrap for computers. Continuing into '93, he fused with Digital Konfusion and created the Digi Kon artz
as well as designing for labels such as Jive Records, New Breed, Liquid Sky, Allen St Recordings, and Half Baked Ideas. In pursuit
of knowledge from all fields, he began designing clothing and accessories for clients such as Bungie, Fox, Konami, and Nintendo. As
we go towards 2012, Amier will still be gettin dirty with paint and clay... still pinching himself with needles and pliers and doin the do. |

Born in Odessa, USSR. Raised in New York City.
Straight out the camps of Digital Konfusion and Beyond This World, comes the double-edge talent of Serge aka DJ Vandal. At an early age, Serge was exposed to the art on the trains, which soon translated to blackbooks and walls. He began to explore everything from ink to Photoshop and came up with a personal style marked by multi-medium pieces.
When he's not cranking out the killer design work at Methods NYC, you can find him digging for records or DJing at your favorite party.

As a kid, a fascination with anime from the early 1980's made his imagination run wild and without boundary. Giant robots, space battles, and ninjas were the foundation. As a teen, he took a short residency stay in San Diego, Ca. Hip Hop was introduced. Street art, tagging break dancing, and the Zulu nation ethics would help develop his perspective. Along the way, pin up art, classic art, art nouveau, and endless list of favorite artists and an ongoing admiration for the female figure would make the gears in his head turn and put out this hybrid art collaboration of influences that are constantly making an effort to evolve.

Born and raised in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Currently based in New York City. His work is drawn from a collage of eclectic inspirations including: pre-Columbian American Art, street art, science fiction, Chicano art, comic books, hip-hop, and rock and roll. He apprenticed as a journey-man sign painter and evolved into a digital designer and graphic illustrator with a wide-ranging client base. This is Gabriel's first Methods design and we expect to see more amazing work from him.

Bishop 203 a.k.a. JAT1 203 TD4
Originally a Connecticut kid, Bishop grew up loving to take the Metro
and seeing all the art on the tracks. He started his graffiti career
at the ripe age of 13. Now after 16 years of being in and out of the
game, he has added a paintbrush and a computer to strengthen his kung
fu. Doing what he likes to call his 'not so fine' art he has learned
to love the world of design and pop art. Being influenced by fine art
as well as the street art he tries to keep the feel of both in his
works.
Bishop 203 has lived up and down the east coast for the past 8 years
and has now taken the much needed to journey to Queens to push his
career further. Feeding off the energy and inspiration that he gets
from his families, (203 and TD4) he hopes to come out with more
creativity in everything he does.
Whether it is a brush, a pencil or a mouse in his hand, he will have
a smile on his face. But out of everything, he will be the first one
to admit that his true love involves a can of Berry Pink, a fat cap,
and freight train.

Dizmology is an honor to work with. His raw talent is scary - his work in the first MOTUG show was breath taking. His personal work leans toward the future, almost as a young FUTURA from an alternate dimension. As one of the most innovative artists in New York, Dizmology continues to show and prove with his unique style of fashion design. No matter what medium he's using, his creativity raises the bar of quality for every project he becomes involved with.

Since the latter part of Jesse's high school years his art has absorbed the inner workings of urban culture. His goal has always been to translate his skewed perspective of the world onto paper, canvas, concrete or skin. In 1995 spray paint became his medium of choice. He really enjoyed the fact that he could cover a massive amount of space in a short amount of time. The one thing that attracted him to the graffiti culture was its bent perspectives, tweaked angles and explosive color. As he grew as an artist his influences broadened and he drew more from inside rather then from reference.
Over the past 8-10 years he has gathered a lot of inspiration from over analyzing his everyday interactions with people as well as today's political chaos. The frustration he gathers from random situations and present day events has found its way into his art. His overall intent is to produce an analogical mirror of situations that we, as individuals and a country, are faced with on a regular basis. He attempts to do so by putting random, rather innocent looking, characters into situations that he feels the everyday person is faced with in one way or another. He would like his work to convey a serious message in a creative, rather lighthearted way.
