The concept behind 'Angry Guy' was based on the fact that we are self-taught artists without any formal art training. Without any formal art training or art degrees, we weren't given any opportunities in the art industry. Our portfolios weren't considered and were often tossed aside without even being reviewed. As our lives didn't allow for us to obtain art degrees or take any art classes due to our financial situations and lack of time, frustration grew. It was then decided that we were to give our selves the opportunity to start our careers as artists. Angry Guy Art Studios was then founded by Jeff Alcairo and Steve Alcairo in San Francisco, CA in 2002. Since it was founded under these circumstances, we felt that we were 'angry' so it was then decided that the art studio was to be named
'Angry Guy' Art Studios.

"To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities."
