Remember buying a gallon of gas for $1.05? That was back in 1992, that same year a magazine titled Lowrider Arte was released.
For the rest of the year, beginning with the next issue, I will be inserting a six-page section that will display artwork that was submitted and published in Arte during the 90s and early 2000s. I will also be making an effort to contact some of the former Arte editors to hear some of their experiences as editors and how the direction of the Arte has changed.
In this issue of
Lowrider Arte we got the chance to take a deeper look at the twisted mind of Brian M. Viveros of Riverside, CA., who just recently came back from a solo gallery in New York. His artwork displays the beauty and strength in women. All the beautiful women have a look like they’ve been to hell and back but still manage to keep their heads up. His work has gained a small cult type following that will only grow in size.
Our Lowrider Girls Editor John Zamora had a chance to catch up with Dave Sanchez during a tattoo session with his girlfriend. Dave is on the rise with his unique Day of the Dead artwork and his amazing black and grey tattoos.
During the Torres Empire show in Dallas, TX., I got the opportunity to meet up with airbrush artist Jace Hudson who is making the transfer from custom motorcycles to lowriders.
Mark Lammis of Oregon combined his love for lowrider and glassblowing into one. Wait till you see his unique combination.
We also got the chance to cover the tattoo convention called Inking in the Valley in Modesto, CA., and the highly criticized gallery called Art in the Streets in MOCA.
