Lisa Call is a self-taught artist who creates bold, geometric contemporary textile paintings composed of richly colored hand-dyed fabric.

020: DON’T BE SCARED! Fight for your creative life! (w/ Lostkeep)
Matthew G. Lewis (aka Lostkeep) is an artist whose work is both terrifying and beautiful and mesmerizing. Born in the Deep South, entangled in the kudzu of ignorance and fear, Matthew seemed destined for a lifetime of servitude and devotion. However, The Devil had sanctified him for lower purposes. Our Lord Insubordinate used Matthew’s years at Savannah College of Art and Design as a petri dish for culturing a blight of reason and suspicion that would soon wither Matthew’s holy heart. Currently, Matthew festers away in Seattle, WA whilst conjuring images with his loathsome tools of pencil and brush.
