Ry Beloin - Artist Interview
Ry Beloin – Artist Interview
What medium(s) did you use to create your piece for “With A Little Help From My Friends”? Oil on panel; ink on paper.
Where are you from & what about that place influences your art? Fuck that question.
Did you go to art school? If not, what did you study or not study? Is so, what was your favorite part about it? I went to school to learn painting and sculpture, and I did.
Would you…

Journal - SMILE ISLE - Bradford J. Salamon
Journal – SMILE ISLE – Bradford J. Salamon
Bradford J. Salamon is a painter with one of my all-time favorite studios. It’s an entire house that’s been gutted and turned into a dream space. There’s a viewing room for finished pieces, a packing area, and a massive space to paint in with all sorts of cool ephemera like a can of horse meat from the earlier half of the 20th Century and vintage reflex cameras. All of which, make their way into…

Journal – SMILE ISLE – Andre Miripolsky
Andre Miripolsky is vital to the heartbeat of the Los Angeles art scene. His colorful paintings reflect the wilderness of urban life and the beauty of the city’s characters, whether they’re in the shapes of sharks or carrots.
You may recognize Andre’s style from his collaborations with Absolut Vodka and the city of Los Angeles. His brightly colored “Viva L.A.” design was selected for countless…

Journal – SMILE ISLE – Bruce Lee Webb
Bruce Lee Webbis an artist with an encyclopedic knowledge of everything wild and incredible about the secret stories of American history. From train hoppers to freemasons, from oddfellows to cowboy boot makers. From bluesmen to moonshiners. And just like the hobo markings on wooden signposts signaling safe passage, a Bruce Lee Webb in your home signals that you’ve got taste, a knack for American…

Alisa Yang is an artist, cartoonist, and current graduate student getting her MFA at the University of Michigan.
Alisa used to make cartoons as her alias Sammy Sundae for a blog I was running named Argot&Ochre and it was always exciting to see what she would come up with!
Her fine art has always the best though; whether it was through the abstract collage and paintings done on vintage book…

Airom Bleicher is one of my art world heroes! He is an artist, gallery-owner, musician, writer, and all around epic human-being from the land of Oz.
Positive vibrations are charged into all of Airom’s paintings, so when you bring one home to you, you get all of its blessings and good energy too. Also, if you are in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica area, be sure to visit his space B/G Galleryin…

Journal - SMILE ISLE - Amery Sandford
When I crossed paths with Amery Sandford, she was living up in Nova Scotia – a wild island on the eastern edge of Canada.
Amery’s process is unique. She screen-prints the outlines of her artworks and then fills them in with watercolor paint. We call this a hand-painted multiplein the printmaking world, or an HPM for short. To add a special touch of magic to each piece, she often adds glitter!…

Journal – SMILE ISLE – Michael C. Hsiung
I met Michael C. Hsiung three years ago at his old studio. A place where he and his wife kept their collection of unicorn paintings and micron pens.
Both of us had been writing for the blog FecalFace, but we hadn’t met each other yet. So, I was stoked to meet Michael in his studio, where he was in the midst of illustrating the zine Booze, Dudes, and Bears. A vinyl record by Black Sabbath played…

Thank you for attending the premier of “Ultimate Beach” at bG Gallery! I got distracted with all the amazing people at the event, so I forgot to take a lot of pictures.
