The demented dynamic duo of these two evil yet creative minds are now working together to bring St. Louis what will surely be the most disturbingly beautiful art exhibit to date. Both artists work are primarily character based. Spencer twists together an adorable hoodie wearing creature with the horrifying gnarls of the flesh eating undead. His t-shirt business dements (sic) many of our favorite wholesome characters. Bill Cosby's eye balls pop out of his purple head, his month rendered like a marionette puppet is dropping green slim. The Power Puff Girls, kittens, blobs of mucus, all are living, dripping, breathing creatures in the head of Jason Spencer.

Tolentino's characters are just as ugly. Large gaped teeth, moles with hairs, botched surgery scars, blood shot eyes, these drunken cartoons are tattered and torn, yet rendered with a machine like precision.
