About the Maker(s)
Kasey McMahon
[
Influenced by comic books, Japanese street fashion, hardware stores, and the monsters living underneath my bed, curiosity drives much of my work. My art is pretty whimsical, and I encourage looking at the silliness that surrounds us.
I believe imagination is a superpower we all possess, and encourage stepping out of grown up life for a moment to recall a child's eager fascination with even the most mundane. I see the world in color, and like to think there's a part of all of us that wishes that piggies could fly and spiders could have a swell chat on a rainy afternoon.
A web and graphic designer by trade (atypicalart.com), I've worked with various mediums including painting, installation and wearable art. Lately, I've been working more with metal because I enjoy the malleable nature of it, as well as the fact that I get to play with bad-ass welding gear.
Current interests include exploring our diminishing relationship with nature as we become more reliant on technology, building a metal and blacksmithing shop at my new home in the mountains, playing with antique clock parts, trying to find the perfect quack box and Beartato.
I am the spawn of flower children and have lived in too many places to list. I received a BA in Art History from UCLA, and currently live, work, and scheme in a tiny town in the hills outside Los Angeles. My favorite color is "awesome."
