Garavato

Most artists spend the early years of their careers fighting for recognition, striving to make their names known. But Colombian artist Tavo took a different path. In 2006, he stopped using his legal name, choosing instead to create art as GARAVATO. Since then, he has concealed his identity—no personal details, no photographs. Nothing to get in the way of his passions.

Kory McGeehan

Some kids grow up on cartoons. Kory McGeehan grew up on skate deck graphics and photocopied show fliers. Influenced by the rough-and-ready style and DIY ethos of his local punk scene, McGeehan was compelled to create his own work. With a bootleg copy of Photoshop, he started grinding out flyers and merch for local punk bands, skate shops, and festivals.
