Jacques Al~asmar was born in Accra, Ghana. He was raised in Beirut, Lebanon. For the past twenty-five years, he has lived in the United States. He has studied, performed and taught Internationally. His passion for dance was noticed at an early age.
Influenced by the legendary Nadia Gamal, Jacques watched his own body move in the same genre as Nadia Gamal. However, his lack of formal training in dance and cultural barriers held him back from pursuing a much loved art form. Jacques' formal training came at a later stage of his career. Thanks to the Legendary Amina of the ASWAN DANCERS, who trained, educated and supported Jacques, who became a dance sensation overnight.
Jacques is a co-founder of the popular Arabian Knights band and producer of Salamat Sundays in San Francisco, California. Currently he is in pursuit of a Ph.D in psychology at Argosy University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jacques will return to the stage at Carnival of Starts for a highly anticipated performance.
Bay Area artist Jose Angeles draws everything from the weird and unusual to the cute and fuzzy,
utilizing ballpoint pen and crayons. Most of his work is riddled with
detail and uses rich vibrant colors to produce a surreal vision. His
style is influenced by underground comix from the 70's, cartoons
from the 80's and 90's, Garbage Pail Kids cards, Ed Roth, Mad Magazine,
and Heavy Metal album covers. He has done art for various bands in
the underground punk and metal scene and publishes various bizarre
mini-comics. Recently he has ventured into 3-D art, sculpting
colorful creatures and customizing found objects.

Our heartfelt condolences for Spain 1940 - 2012, family and friends. Spain was a longtime supporter of Carnival of Stars and attended every year. His presence and warm smile will be sorely missed.
SPAIN RODRIGUEZ, legendary underground cartoonist, and contributor to Zap Comix and many other classic titles, also created the first underground tabloid, Zodiac Mindwarp. His character Trashman, Agent of the Sixth International, was an icon in underground newspapers of the '60s and is in print today in Trashman Lives! Big Bitch, another popular Spain character, appears in She Comics. Spain's work currently appears in the online graphic novel Dark Hotel, at sfgate.com, the LA Weekley and Blab. His graphic novel, Nightmare Alley, was recently lauded by Time Magazine. www.spainrodriguez.com
