We here at Barnstorm are delighted to have artwork by Erik de los Reyes on our home page for the fall 2011 season. Erik is an artist, designer, and musician living in Charlottesville, Va. He graduated with a BS in Architecture from the University of Virginia, where he also studied English and computer animation. His piece “California or Bust” is a comment on the commercial partitioning of the feminine form, inspired by a statue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It combines hand-drawn linework and computer-generated imagery.Currently, Erik is working with the ecoMOD team to develop a design for sustainable, compact housing in South and Southwestern Va.  (www.ecomod.virginia.edu).  He also plays with the Filibusters, a rock and pop band. His portfolio is available online at www.erikdelosreyes.com.Dustin Martin
