Born and raised in Chicago, Lawrence Yang first started out as a computer science major, who switched to biology, and then finally finished with industrial design where he found his passion in interaction design art.

Graffiti artist and NDEUR designer Mathieu Missiaen says he paints on all canvases including shoes. He’s started selling his shoe line in 2007 which in return has had a 3,100% positive rating. Not too shabby eh?

While there are a few good ones, I wouldn’t splurge on them over a Prada shoe.

You know, art is such a broad term because it can include dance, music, and theater as well as other things; but you get what I’m saying. Or at least I hope you do. Whateves. My little list of artists I admire won’t have your standard Michaelangelos or Botticellis because while I do love what they have done, I also like “unknown” and lesser known artists who stray away from the more classical mediums and subjects. Ya dig? And so, here’s a few of my favorite artists in no particular order. =)
