Haydee Reveles is one of the most talented self-taught artists born and raised in Los Angeles. Breaking through the underground art world her incredible paintings are making their way to the top. She has a big imagination, and a passion for art.
iBelieve realized that she wanted to create art the moment she first touch a brush and saw what she could do. Then it started becoming a passion for her. She knew she wasn’t great, but made it a challenge to teach herself. And when she did she knew it was in her to be creative. Her first real introduction to art was in high school. A young iBelieve took an art class, and although she only got to paint one canvas, she knew then her mentality and imagination was to paint. When she was old enough, she figured out how to express herself thru a painting, without having to explain it to no one.
She primarily works with oil paint on wood. When you look into her paintings you can feel it in your soul. A true artist from the heart. She is self-taught and still learning many ways to create new art. With that said, this young lady goes by the nickname of: ” iBelieve “. This name comes from her thinking everything is possible if you believe in yourself. When others believe in you it only adds motivation that you could do anything you want, if you put your mind and effort into it.
iBelieve has also displayed her work at many Art Galleries and won first place for Visual Artist of the Year at the Los Angeles RAWARDS 2012 show, sponsored by Indie Arts Award Los Angeles. Currently her plans are to keep creating art and be part of more exhibitions so her work could be recognized by many.
“iBelieved in myself when no one else did and it has taken me in a great path. Never Doubt yourself!” – iBelieve.

Charles Leval is a French street artist who is known by the name of Levalet he creates photo realistic street art which can be seen on the streets of Paris.
David Zinn has been creating original artwork in and around Ann Arbor since 1987, serving all manner of commercial clients from small shops to major municipalities while simultaneously sneaking “pointless” art into the world at large. His professional commissions have included theatrical posters, business logos, educational cartoons, landfill murals, environmental superheroes, corporate allegories and hand-painted dump trucks. His less practical creations have involved bar coasters, restaurant placemats, cake icing, and snow.
David’s improvised street art is composed entirely of chalk, charcoal and found objects, and is always improvised on location. Most of these drawings have appeared on sidewalks in Ann Arbor and elsewhere in Michigan, but some have surfaced as far away as subway platforms in Manhattan and construction debris in the Sonoran Desert. Zinn’s chalk work began in 2001 as an excuse to linger outdoors, but has since achieved global notoriety through the sharing of photos on Facebook, Huffington Post UK, The Cheezburger Network, Street Art Utopia, and Archie McPhee’s Endless Geyser of Awesome. His most frequent characters are Sluggo, a bright green monster with stalk eyes and irreverent habits, and Philomena, a phlegmatic flying pig. As of 2013, there have been a lot of mice as well.
David is a self-taught artist with a degree in Creative Writing and English Language from the Residential College of the University of Michigan. He has taught creative writing and scenic painting, performed in and directed several Gilbert & Sullivan operas, recorded audiobooks, and hosted two children’s radio shows (The Rug Rat Revue on WCBN-FM and The Mud Pie Cafe on Michigan Radio). David is also an avid whistler, a haphazard ukulele player, and a dutiful shirker.
