LITCHFIELD

Real Name: Classified
Discipline: Everything

The man himself. Litchfield is a multi-award winning artist whose talents range across a multipute of disciplines. A gentleman and a scholar, Litchfield forged his experimental studio from the smelted talents of like-minded artists.

With our fearless leader at the helm, "art for art's sake" is a diet best served on a bed of fresh integrity.

An abbreviated dramatis personæ:

VERNON

Real Name: Werner Schäfer
Discipline: Ornamental Dishware

Vernon specializes in ornamental dishware, a trade that's tolerated amongst his piers as long as he runs the day-to-day operations of the studio and leaves everyone else alone.

The defacto #2, Vernon won some art contest in a country no one's ever heard of and has been trying to reclaim whatever small pride in it ever since.

MYSTIC

Real Name: Lisa Pepper
Discipline: Alphabetarian

Mystic is our letter girl with specialties ranging from screenwriting to typography.

She runs one of our subsidiaries, The Litchytype Letter Factory, a font foundry that is decidedly too wonderful and important for anyone to have heard about it.

LEDYARD

Real Name: Jesse Elliott
Discipline: Painting

The latest trend amongst painters is to be understood and successful in your own time. Ledyard is old school. He may have half the talent as the old masters, but he more than makes up for it by being at least twice as obscure.

Additionally, Ledyard serves our studio by being an ambassador to the local community.

ECRU

Real Name: Classified
Discipline: The art of Interning

Ecru is the studio's main intern as well as personal assistant to Litchfield.

Not an artist himself, he hopes that his work experience within the studio will prepare him for a job far away from the field of art. Perhaps accounting.

DERBY & SPRAGUE

Real Names: Auguste and Louis Larouche
Discipline: Street Art, Found Objects

Our resident street artists. Not a day goes by when these two aren't seen dumpster diving or stealing urinals for their next gallery opening.

A yin and yang. A Frick and Frack. The perfect 1-2 punch.
 

MONROE

Real Name: Carl Lancaster
Discipline: Filmmaking

Monroe was a poor grunt at an advertising firm two states over before Litchfield discovered him and made him the studio's lead filmmaker.

With a keen eye on composition, and a habit of describing the weather in f-stops, Naugatuck is an unstoppable force of cinematic artistry.

ESSEX

Real Name: Devin Bakwas
Discipline: We're actually not sure

Essex joined the studio a few years ago as a way to cure his malignant boredom. Lacking any real passion for anything while embracing ennui, he can often be seen haunting the halls of the studio, muttering his whiny poetry.

He lacks all personal agenda, and that somehow makes him a valuable asset.

MR. NAUGATUCK

Real Name: Jedidiah Crane III
Discipline: Curation

The Studio Litchfield Archive Vault is a labyrinthian museum that has held the collective works of the studio for the better part of the last decade.

Mr. Naugatuck, as curator, has made sure that every trinket, doodad, knickknack, and gewgaw is perfectly categorized within this impenetrable fortress.

THE GROTON

Real Name: N/A
Discipline: Specially bred for performance art

Not much is known about the Groton.
