Lucas James Staines,
Mixed Media Artist

20 Year old artist from Portland, OR. Attended the Pacific Northwest College of Art for a year. I enjoy most creative endeavors including illustrating, painting, designing etc. I currently work at Ostrom Metal and Glass works in Portland, OR. At the shop I am learning various metal applications, but mainly focusing on custom metal etching. Lately I have started to apply the metal craft to my own work. I have a specific style that I like to work in that has been called by peers and friends, urban, industrial, graffiti-like, unique, etc. I'm inspired by things like old industrial fixtures, trains, ugly people, deformities, old people and homeless people.
