In the May 2011 issue of Juxtapoz, we interviewed Swiss-born, NYC-based fine artist, photographer, sculpture artist, conceptual artist, comedian, installation artist, and filmmaker, Olaf Breuning. The interview went so well that we wanted to share it with you again.

We look back on our May 2011 cover story with Los Angeles-based artist, Eric Yahnker. To us, as we have just completed the first half of 2011, this has remained one of our favorite features of the year. Read about Mel Brooks, pizza on garland, and the deep end of the shallow end. That makes sense.

If we could have told you last month when we announced Facemaker that Eric Yanhker was our May cover artist, it might have been more exciting. But tonight at Royal/T in Culver City, Ben Jones, Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, Barry McGee, Kenny Scharf, Eric Yahnker, Jane Moseley, Olaf Breuning, and others will explore interpretations of the most universal element of human perception: the face.

Our May 2011 issue is about to hit newsstands, and we are pleased to announce that Los Angeles-based fine artist, Eric Yahnker, is the cover of both our newsstand and subscriber covers. After a successful solo exhibition, Cracks of Dawn, earlier this year with Ambach & Rice at Kunsthalle in LA, we sat down with the artist and talked about lifting weights and process.
