Our man Liam Keown has been out and about again with his camera taking snaps of artist’s studios. Here’s the second of a series giving a little insight into the artists and their work spaces…This time he visits Nick Gentry and gets a few words from him about the space.
VNA exclusive! Here’s a sneak peek at Brooklyn-based artist Beau Stanton’s studio ahead of his latest show with Logan Hicks in New York, ‘Calm Before The Storm’, curated by Lori Zimmer and Natalie Kates. In his own words, Beau tells us a little bit about each image…
1) The large glass palette where I mix up a specific range of colors for each painting. This streamlines my painting process while also allowing me to strategize the overall color key that the painting will take on in the end. I buy a lot of my paint from a colorist in Brooklyn named Robert Doak who works with rare pigments that you can’t find anywhere else.
Today marks the launch of Buff Monster’s Kickstarter campaign to raise The Melty Misfits Series 2. After the huge success of the first series, it’s time for seconds. This new set of trading cards/stickers is going to be even more ambitious than the first: featuring over 40 new characters, new Kickstarter-exclusive packaging, and hopefully some new awesome inserts like foil cards and lenticulars.
Chris ‘Daze’ Ellis is something of a legend. Part and parcel of the wave of graffiti that reached out to a million youths all over the world through the medium of graffiti magazines, movies and books, he’s one man that can certainly walk the wall-talk. There’s not many interviews with anyone that’s picked up a spray-can where we don’t talk about Style Wars and Subway Art, so here’s a few words from a true school, humble pioneer.

After our NYC launch back in July 2013, we decided it was time to go pay our friends a visit over at their Brooklyn studio. We talked about their crazy work schedule, the creative process of making work under pressure and what’s happening now all the dust has settled.

Something to help get over those Monday blues, An interesting short video of Shepard Fairey at his Le Deuce studio and his recent collaboration with MTN COLOURS.
A couple of weeks ago VNA was offered the chance to go check out a new fancy print studio in the fairly fancy area of Wapping in the east end of London. This is the new Lazarides print spot, where all sorts of wierd and wonderfull printing goes down. Apparently this is where the small run prints and special hand finished prints will be produced for Laz and The Outsiders.
At the time of our visit, the action was centered on a new print edition by Ron English and the signing of a new print by Conor Harrington. The space is pretty spectacular, in an old factory building right on the river Thames. Even more spectacular than that was the storage room with its rows upon rows of classic prints by some of the Laz regulars. Ooooh the temptation to roll up a print and pass it off as my third leg.
Heres some pictures for your eyes…

The team from itdrewitself swung by VNA HQ a few weeks back and filmed a little snapshot of what we do.
Pretty happy with the finished product (other than hearing my own voice!). Check it out.
