Mat Miller is a Oxford, United Kingdom based designer/illustrator whose I just recently came across. I was immediately a fan. Information on him was scare, besides an artist statement that appeared on multiple sites. Some of his pieces, like his Streaming Eye entry into the Creative Review Illustration Annual, have a nice write up behind the [...]

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.

"Burt was about the funniest, most talented man I ever knew. He and his wife Kathy, introduced me to my current wife Joan. We would visit them on weekends and go to as many tag sales as we could stand to look for whatever, but particularly for album covers [...]
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.

Knowing the people who collaborated to make this happen is even more amazing. I haven't even personally seen the piece in [...]
