Featured Artist:
Damian Fultonby Rachel Reeves
Interviewing Damian Fulton is like studying one of his paintings: the first thing you notice is there’s a lot going on. He talks fluidly, articulately, and fast, pinballing ideas that span decades and genres and Southern California subcultures. Sometimes he’ll stop himself...

Bill Ferehawkby Alex Khatchadourian
Before the trash trucks start clamoring down the residential streets and the typical mayhem of Los Angeles morning traffic ensues, Bill Ferehawk quietly leaves his Mid City home to wander Pico Boulevard.

Emilia Thompsonby Rachel Reeves
Emilia Thompson is in between. She’s 21, a recent college graduate, and back in her parents’ El Segundo home, sleeping in the bedroom she grew up in, with stuffed bunnies on the bed and bookshelf. She’s in one of those transitional seasons, when everything around is familiar but you know you’ve...

One day last June, Dave Williamson started getting calls and texts about pink flamingos. “What time can I pick up these pink flamingos?” read one text. Williamson was perplexed. He does like beer, quite a lot, so he thought maybe there was a connection. “Man, what did I do yesterday?” he remembers wondering. It didn’t take very many messages for Williamson to figure out something was up. He may be from El Segundo, by way of Florida, but he...

Recognition as an artist didn’t come until later in life for Dave Harris. It was only after he had finally settled into painting as the medium of choice that his creative endeavors began to take on a life of their own. In that space he found a reason to take himself and the work seriously in a way that he hadn’t done before. Dave and painting got along, and Spooky was born.
