Artist Books, Zines & Limited Edition Art Prints

I recently had the opportunity to check out a screening of the Beautiful Losers movie. It was amazing to see the artists behind the work that we’ve all seen and love. What was really impressed on me was the personalities, the honesty and life that each of these artists had/have to give. This is the reason why their art is so good, it’s not because it’s original or rebelious or whatever, it’s because it’s human and these artists know how to truly express themselves.

I’ve always enjoyed the artwork of Chris Johanson but after seeing the Beautiful Losers movie and seeing the artist himself I can appreciate his art much more. He puts a smile on my face.

Here’s a perfect stereotypical “interview” with Chris Johanson
