Currently living in San Francisco, Columbus, Ohio native Matt Furie was born in 1979. Matt's illustrations are a mix of child-like enchantment and momentary adult situations, inspired by cartoon characters. He is known for combining traditional with modern illustration, and was awarded for his work by the San Francisco Bay Guardian with the best visual artist award. Not only does he exhibit his work around the USA and Europe...    

New Image Art gallery in LA recently opened their latest exhibition - "The Goblin Universe" featuring artwork by Matt Furie and Michelle Devereux. Expect the usual assortment of imaginative, hyper coloured "phantoms, monster sluts, and other mythical creatures" from Furie, all alongside Devereux's new series "Dudes on Pizza", which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. This is Devereux's first show on the West Coast, so make sure you don't miss it! The Goblin Universe will run through to 7 July, 2012.

New Image Art in Los Angeles is set to open a brand new exhibition this Saturday, June 2, The Goblin Universe, featuring the works of San Francisco-based Matt Furie and Austin, Texas based Michelle Devereux (her first show outside of Texas). We happen to like her new series, Dudes on Pizza. There will be a lot of colored pencil in this exhibition... a good thing.

Tonight at Fecal Face Dot Gallery in San Francisco, Future Colors of America (the trio of Aiyana Udesen, Matt Furie,and Albert Reyes), open a new collaborative show featuring over one hundred new pieces with an emphasis on horror, Lindsay Lohan, and naked ladies. Sounds good to us.

If everything awesome about your grade school doodles were magnified times ten, the art of Matt Furie would be the result. The San Francisco-based artist fully embraces the immaturity of a 9-year-old boy's fantasies and pushes them head-on into an adult-oriented reality. It's like if David Lynch directed a kid's TV show. Very weird, and very rad.

The TROPICS is a new curated boutique in San Francisco- opening its doors Saturday, with its 'First Offering' from 7-10pm. With a focus on singularity, artist printed materials and feature apparel and a direct concentration on the illustrated line....
