Glynis Sweeny (born 1962) is an American illustrator and caricaturist who is known for lampooning political and business figures in newsweekly magazines.

Sweeny graduated with a degree in graphic design from Rochester Institute of Technology and soon became a staff designer and illustrator for The Detroit News. In 1995, during the long Detroit Newspapers strike, Sweeny moved back to New York to focus on her publishing clients in the area. Her client roster includes Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, The Village Voice, The New York Times, TV Guide, Comedy Central, The Atlantic, Fortune, The Los Angeles Times, and The Boston Globe. She also illustrated the cover for the book, “The Hammer Comes Down,” a biography of Tom DeLay.

Sweeny works in wax-based colored pencil and uses a burnishing technique for her illustrations to create color depth. Increasingly her works contain a mixture of pencil illustration and computer-based illustration.

Sweeny has appeared in the Society of Illustrators, RSVP, American Illustration, and Communication Arts juried annuals and has won illustration awards from the Society of Newspaper Design and the Society of Professional Journalists.

Todd Schorr (born January 9, 1954) is an American artist and one the most prominent of the group that has been dubbed “Lowbrow (art movement)” or pop surrealism.

Fantastic imagery, cartoon characters, and other pop culture icons rendered with an exacting technique and colorful palette defines the signature style of Schorr’s artwork. His iconic work to date is “A Pirate’s Treasure Dream”, 2006, which depicts a plethora of zany phantoms and animals (such as Donald Duck, Coco the Clown, and a Worry-Bird), all parading around — none other than – the lusty Los Angeles Lowbrow (art movement) collector Long Gone John. Todd Schorr is one of the most “successful”/most expensive living artists in the Lowbrow (art movement) scene.

Schorr studied Illustration and graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art. His art and illustrations have been included in Time, New York Times, and Juxtapoz Magazine, to name a few. He is married to fellow Lowbrow artist, Kathy Staico Schorr. Both live and work in Beverly Hills, California.
