The New Film, "George Hobbs:Stick Figure Wisdom," Completes Principal Photography

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - EntSun -- George Hobbs paints stick figures with socially conscious messages, uses mixed and multimedia pieces to talk about the evils in the world, photographs humans as landscapes with miniatures, adds to an ever-growing line of spirited, vibrant clothing he calls "party wear" and creates quirky short films and records his own original music. Now, award-winning filmmaker Armin Nasseri has created a documentary that follows the multi-talented artist, as he creates, reveals his creative process, and explores what drives him to create.

Turns out Hobbs has always wanted to be an artist. He started as a child, and continued through college, until a harsh critic dampened his spirit. The critic nearly killed George's dream, but eventually he began creating again, and found his voice. And what a voice! Hobbs' art is filled with powerful messages that inspire others. Buoyed by gallery owner, Carlos Benitez, George Hobbs is a force to be reckoned with--and that force is a force for good.  George's "contemporary cave paintings", as he calls them, are a compelling interplay of social commentary and contemporary art in the seeming simplicity of stick figure cartoon artistry.  Benitez likens him as both a "child" and a savant, highlighting his ability to communicate complex ideas in a way that "even a child could understand."
