Interview with Lauren Moyer

I’m very happy that we got the chance to interview Lauren Moyer, who is a painter and illustrator who graduated from CCS. Her latest work is going to be part of a two person show at Starkweather along with Anna Cangialosi. The opening is tomorrow, September 3rd, from 6-8 pm.

Lauren was kind enough to take some time apart from getting ready to tell us about how she fell in love with painting, her travels to Alaska, and what’s next for her. She was also kind enough to include a sneak preview of her newest paintings and screenprints that will be in the show. The interview and lots of pictures are behind the cut.

Mark Goss

Ask and you shall receive. We asked for submissions while we were on vacation, and we got a great one. Mark Goss is an illustrator and graphic designer from Antwerp. His fantastic portfolio has a little bit of everything: tattoo inspired illustrations, paintings, graffiti, hand lettering and zines.

Most recently, Mark was part of a show called Dirty Fingers that just opened at Artspace Leguit in Antwerp. Behind the cut, you can check out a video of his step by step installation of one of the pieces for that show.

Recap: Layers @ Rivers Edge

Saturday night was the opening of Layers at Rivers Edge Gallery. The 2nd floor walls were jam packed with work from Dennis Jacobs, Jeremy Hansen, Eddie Thiel and Rudy Salazar. Not only did they produce a ton of individual pieces, all the guys worked in different pairs on collaborations. These are my favorites from each artist:

Lots more pictures behind the cut, but as always, my photography never does the show justice. In fact, there are many more pieces to be seen in person that didn’t photograph well enough. The amount of work that these guys did is staggering. If you’re interested in any of these pieces, contact Rivers Edge.

Jessica Singh

I love the bright, girly illustration style of Jessica Singh. Born in Australia, she eventually moved to London to study graphic design. She only graduated last year and has already been hired by huge brands like MTV and Kleenex. Her use of so many textures and patterns leads to illustrations that are between 80-120 layers!

This last image is from an art show at a winery that Jessica was part of. All of the artwork was done on wine barrels.
