Bratz OG Painting

Hi I'm Carter Bryant. I'm the creator of Bratz and co creator of Pinkie Cooper and the Jet Set Pets and Sugar Planet. I continue to invent toy concepts, but I am now also adding painting and writing and illustrating children's books to my resume. As far as painting goes, my work-in-progress speaks to a socio-political climate that reverberates with me daily. I'm also working to explore issues that confound and confuse me; religion, sexuality, social isolation, PTSD, culture shock, addiction, abuses of power, to name a few. The characters I create in my toys are almost always full of joy and optimism, and through them I get to escape into a world of pure bliss. The characters in my paintings however, fill my need to express my deepest thoughts about things that I can't always verbalize in any sort of eloquent way otherwise.
