    Albert Reyes

    Albert Reyes is one of my favorite artist from Los Angeles. His style? Think bold lines, vibrant colors, and a knack for using found objects to make anything from wall art to his large freestanding haunted houses. Albert is more than just an artist—he's a cultural icon, a storyteller, and a builder whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences. Whether he's painting on canvas or sketching in a found object, Reyes's passion for creativity shines through, reminding us of the power of art to transcend boundaries and connect us all. In this interview, artist Albert discusses his artwork and creative process. He talks about his garage studio, which is filled with his paintings and serves as a comfortable space for him to work and build a body of work. Reyes explains that his current series of black and white figurative paintings with words was inspired by a drawing he did as a child and his love for gathering images from sources like magazines and Instagram. He also discusses his experience being featured on the cover of Giant Robot magazine and his admiration for the magazine's founder, Eric Nakamura. Reyes emphasizes the importance of pursuing goals and taking physical action to achieve them, as well as the value of collaboration and networking in the art world. He also talks about his passion for movies and how it influences his artwork. The interview concludes with a discussion about Reyes' annual haunted house event and his approach to art as a form of expression and escape.

    Eric Minh Swenson, that guy with the camera.

    Eric Minh Swenson himself is art.  As the son of a professional photographer, it was only natural for Eric to one day grow into his own by carrying on the spirit of his father by not only picking up a camera but creating his own universe full of art and adventures.  For the past ten years Eric has become a shapeshifting character popping up at galleries, museums, and event openings. When not documenting those events, he is all over Southern California engaging with seasoned and emerging artists in their studios.  His ten years with boots, bedazzled sneakers and at times Crocs on the ground has elevated him as Los Angeles foremost digital documentarian. After spending over four years exploring with Eric and endless hours in the car driving from gallery to gallery, event to event, it is time you learn what it is that keeps me from kicking him out of my car.  Let us get to know the man behind the camera.
