2009 Festival Artwork
This year's amazing image for the 16th Annual poster, was painted by emerging San Diego artist, SURGE. Sergio Hernandez (aka SURGE) was born and raised in San Diego, California. His parents have deep roots in the city of Tijuana, Mexico, so as a child he frequently visited the city. Surge has been involved in graffiti since his youth and has been held accountable for his actions by the city of San Diego on more than one occasion. In 2004, he received his bachelor's degree in Painting and Printmaking from San Diego State University. Surge's paintings tell stories that he was told as a child, or experienced himself. His two children have motivated him to adopt a style that is playful and can be appreciated by kids as well as adults. The characters in his work reflect city life and people he has met. Through painting, Surge has had the opportunity to exhibit his work in cities across the nation and also in other countries. He has created artwork for three solo shows and over 50 group shows. Surge is currently a tattoo artist in San Diego and is also involved in the local music and martial arts scene. WWW.SURGEMDR.COM
