The Nasty Sneak Preview!
So the zine is about to drop! Here's a little taste from our interview with Pat Berran...

Pat Berran, artist, musician, skateboarder, and friend. Proudly hailing from Woodbridge, VA, Pat currently resides in Brooklyn, NY after recently getting his MFA from Hunter College. I sat down with Pat to fill in some of my own gaps in who he is and how he got there. We discussed his early beginnings in those areas of art, music, and skateboarding and how they continue to shape his outlook on life. What I found most interesting and informative was how he became involved in all of them at about the same time. By the time he was 8, Pat was already skating, listening to the punk music that still inspires him today, and embarking on a lifelong relationship with making art. Now 20 years later Pat is still skating (and surfing and snowboarding), singing for the awesome band ¡Apeshit!, and making some serious abstract paintings that may just surprise you, coming from someone you might not expect.
