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.

We’ve seen the interior shots of BARRY McGEE’s (aka: TWIST) recent installation (which largely mimics his recent San Francisco & New York Deitch Project shows) at WATARI-UM in Tokyo, but here are some well-deserved glimpses of the incredible exterior Barry and his faithful co-conspirator AMAZE (aka: Josh) assembled for the event. Presented by Tokyo style house HYSTERIC GLAMOUR, the exhibit remains on display until September 30 when all of the show’s original artwork will be given away free of charge. Dream on…

“I love graffiti because it enables kids from every social extraction to do something that brings them closer to art, when they normally wouldn’t be stimulated to be visually creative. Graffiti helps to develop an awareness of immediate expressive and uncontrolled freedom. I want kids to have this possibility. It’s an important introduction to form and writing, story telling and color”

—Barry McGee
