As an artist, my work focuses on converting abstract concepts into visual narratives. I imagine stories, worlds, and characters to symbolically express ideas, with the intention of making an emotional and intellectual connection with my audience.
My philosophy echoes this simple credo - to bring something new, something beautiful, and something filled with light into the world. In all I do, I strive to create a space for these elements through the use of originality, quality and imagination.

Monica Magaeua, was recently a member of a creative team assembled by Academy Awardaou nominated director, Adam Pesapane, well-known for his groundbreaking stop-motion films.
Using thousands of paper illustrations to create a flipbook glimpse into Honda Motor's past and present innovations, Magaeua and team created a groundbreaking commercial called "Paper."
Honda loved the commercial so much, they decided to double their airtime purchase and to premier the complete 2-minute version on CBS during the third quarter of an NFL game this past Sunday, September 20th.
Over the course of two thrilling weeks, Monica worked on the Indy cars sequences, the transition of the motocross bikes to the Honda jet, the complete jet sequence and the drop of the NSX engine into the car. She illustrated 15 frames per Indy car, over 30 frames for the jet sequence and 20 frames for the engine. Monica said, "It was so cool to see my illustrations in the final product!"
"Paper" will be supported on Honda's social channels with Twitter trivia, teaser clips on Instagram and Vine, Honda product images on Instagram and GIFs on Twitter.
The two-minute spot will run on network TV placements scheduled on popular programs such as "Dancing with the Stars," "Rosewood," "Minority Report," and "Blue Bloods." Capping the week of September 26th, "Paper" will air on ESPN during Saturday College Football. A 60-second version will air throughout October on NBC, CBS, Fox and ABC. In addition to TV, digital placements will occur on Facebook and YouTube.

A painter and muralist, Stanton creates work ranging in size from tiny eye miniatures to large-scale images ornamenting entire building facades.
The work combines classical oil painting with intricate patterns inspired by ancient architecture, letterpress ornaments, and decayed infrastructure. In search for historical reference, Stanton begins his artistic process by exploring abandoned 19th century sites around the greater New York City area collecting photo references, Victorian ephemera, and antiquated machinery. These artifacts often appear in Stanton's paintings as visual cogs in heavily ornamented machine-like compositions. The initial studies of these artifacts are then distilled into highly ornate silk-screened compositions. Finally, the pieces are fully rendered with oil paint, manipulating focus, light and perspective.
Stanton is originally from Southern California where he studied Illustration and Drawing and Painting. He relocated to New York after graduation in 2008, and has since been mentored by New York Pop Surrealist Ron English. He has shown with Bold Hype Gallery, Ad Hoc Art, SCOPE NY, Helium Cowboy Artspace, Spoke Art, Corey Helford Gallery, Opera New York, and Last Rites Gallery.
