A busy summer it has been all around in the art world, but in our home base of the San Francisco Bay Area, we have had two significant museum retrospectives that have made their way into the September 2012 issue of Juxtapoz. First off, we celebrate our cover story, Daniel Clowes, and his fantastic exhibition at the Oakland Museum of California, Modern Cartoonist: The Art of Daniel Clowes. Over the years, the iconic comic book artist has given us cult-followed works such as Ghost World, Eightball, Wilson, and numerous covers for The New Yorker.

We had the honor of catching up with NYC stencil artist, Logan Hicks, this past month for a feature in our September issue and a discussion about his new body of work, Structural Integrity, that will open at The Outsiders, London, on Friday, July 20. As well as showing his photorealistic stencil works of dark urban landscapes, Hicks will be showing his excellent photography works that he has been shooting over the past half decade.
