He is a skilled Vector / Apparel Artist from Orlando Florida who has received national and international attention for his work. From the beginning, no one would of ever expected Hydro74 to become successful due to the hardships that life dealt his way. With many years of a socially dysfunctional family, in and out of foster homes and having to hustle to find places to live during the last few years of High School and College, even Joshua Smith of Hydro74 would of never dreamed to be where he is at today. However he bases his success not off of the works that have been accomplished, but by the fact that with effort and desire you can find personal success of finding that consistency of life and enjoying it.
Hydro74 is the key cog in the Brass Tack and seeking to develop it much like his life, with success and consistency.

Zombie Yeti Studios is the alter ego of designer Jeremy A. Packer. Born & raised in the cornfields of northern Indiana, Zombie Yeti had no choice but to escape the maize via a steady diet of comic books, cartoons, music & video games. From that diet, along with some corn & dairy, he grew into a young man. That young man followed his passion & broad influences into a seemingly conflicting Post Grad Academic focus in both Fine Arts & Animation. He uses this broad background to skew a unique perspective as he digests the world around him and twists & perverts it into new and truly bizarre works.
He describes his work by defining a new term; a self proclaimed movement called 'Esoteric Americana'. On the surface his style reflects his love of comic books & cartoons - with a dash of humor, an emphasis on story, character, silhouette & line. While beneath, his aesthetic results resemble a twisted take on modern representations of traditional fine art. He currently has many works in the Music, Sports, & Apparel industries but does not define himself by any one industry.
