The June issue of Juxtapoz is out, and it’s a good one. There’s a big article I wrote on Boston’s own Raul Gonzalez – that’s him modeling the mag below – as well as a good one on Providence artist/musician Brian Chippendale guest written by Boston Phoenix arts writer Greg Cook. Couple those two with Maine raised and Mass Art educated Kevin Cyr, and it’s a good issue for New England. You could even include in that the feature on global train maniacs UTAH and ETHER, since they each did six-month residencies here in Boston, albeit not the kind you apply for. The Converse mural I did in Allston – see the video a couple posts below – comes off on the back cover. Anyway, here’s Raul:
I’ll tell you more later.
I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be working with the great Ed Emberley again, and the great Children’s Hospital Boston again! Children’s Hospital has a fantastic arts program which you can hear more about in my TEDxBoston talk, this great and recent New York Times article, or on Children’s Art for Kool Kidz site. In June, I’ll be putting the show together, featuring a set of original Ed Emberley Drawing Book mock-ups (by Ed) and a big tribute mural to be executed by me and the great Souther Salazar, who is Ed Fan #1.
