An Interview With Austin Young

It’s rainy here in Los Angeles and, on a similar rainy day, we had a very sunny conversation with fine art photographer and definite personality Austin Young. Austin is a really, really fascinating character whose art revolves around shifting who you are into something completely new, dipping into the LGBT community and gender performance as a point of departure. You’ve definitely seen his colorful pieces around in various media. His work is beautiful and edgy and always bright. Definitely check out the interview and be warned that a few photos are not safe for work, just a heads up.

You can read the interview here.

Andrew Holder Interview On Los Angeles, I’m Yours

Today on Los Angeles, I’m Yours, we have a special treat: an interview with artist Andrew Holder. Holder has been featured on The Fox Is Black quite a few times and is a super sweet guy, living in a nice little house in Eagle Rock. We spoke with him about his work and inspirations, how Art Center in Pasadena is the reason he is in the city, and how surfing in Los Angeles isn’t very good. Be sure to check it out and, if the interview doesn’t sell you, he also wanted to climb up a tree for his portrait (which ended up being super rad). You can read the story here.

An interview with Travis Millard, one of L.A.’s best illustrators

Over on Los Angeles, I’m Yours today, we have a really great interview with Echo-Park-by-way-of-Olathe-Kansas artist Travis Millard. Travis is a super relaxed and cool guy who creates these trippy, sometimes grimey characters. It was really cool seeing where these all come from and seeing his space, which he shares with artist/girlfriend Mel Kadel. It includes tons of his work (zines, drawings, paintings, drafts, etc.) scattered about and sheds light into the creation and inspiration for many of his pieces. His story is also this ridiculously “classic American” story of a guy who grew up in the Midwest, wanted to become an artist, and moved to the big city to become an artist while busting his balls to get there. It’s super inspirational.

Travis was really great to speak with so definitely check it out. You can read the full story here.
