This is an interview with a friend of mine that I met about 4-5 years ago in printmaking class at Los Angeles City College. Rolen was astounding everyone in the art department, faculty, teachers and students alike. Being in printmaking with him, I was able to see his ideas transform and grow from sketches through [...]

This was a quick interview EYE ONE of the Seeking Heaven crew was kind enough to bless us with for J.U.i.C.E.'s (Justice By Uniting In Creative Energy) 1st-ever 'zine.  I really wanted to make this happen due to the fact that Eye was the creator, publisher, driving force behind LA's own indelible 'zine Lost, so [...]

Ryan Baysa is an artist whose work I became aware of through some mutual friends and from seeing flyers of his exhibits at venues I hit up occasionally. When I saw his works I was instantly drawn to them not only because of the subjects, but the colors, textures and styles of the pieces all collude into a visual depiction of the imagery the music creates for me when I think of those artists.
