Jamie O'Shea Jamie O'Shea

Having turned Juxtapoz into a generation and genre-defining art magazine during his ten years' tenure as editor-in-chief, Jamie O'Shea is working independently these days as a Creative Director. O'Shea continues to bring high-end projects to fruition. He's working with his creative partner Darren Romanelli to re-brand classic bands like the Beatles and his pals ZZ Top, and brokering sales for street-credible but gallery-averse artists like KAWS.
Now living in Los Angeles, O'Shea has not entirely given up the less remunerative struggles of being an editor. Post-Juxtapoz, O'Shea has just signed on as editor of Spread ArtCulture, a new quarterly art-and-design magazine from New York, and is lining up his myriad allies to start an art magazine of his own, in which all those careers he's launched in the last decade will be rubbing shoulders with their "official" art-world counterparts.

Featuring vintage chariots customized by ANDY WARHOL, FRANK STELLA, ROY LIECHTENSTEIN, and Australian artist KEN DONE, the exhibit brings out some of the company’s most amazing vehicles with incredibly “period-correct” graphics.
