| Introduction | My name is Clinton Meister. I'm a self taught Artist from the Greater Philadelphia area. I started taking the creative process seriously in 2000. I have always written, and doodled, but never thought I would do anything with my work. While struggling with an inescapable depression, I picked up a brush and felt a great comfort. Nothing else has given me more of a sense of ease, than drawing. I have been featured in Bucks county courier Times, Shown in numerous group exhibitions. Such as Jinxed Gallery 'Friends Stoning friends", "Art not ipods," and "Girls are Evil" Also participated in Eat your Heart out Valentines Show at the Shouk Lounge in Philadelphia, and Participated in The Big Art Show, Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore. Debuted solo show was in 2006 "Industry Standard" at Valani in Philadelphia. In 2012 I designed Mark Feehans (of Harry Pussy fame)Album cover art for his solo record MF |
