-“Hey I like that Michael Sieben! I want Juxtapoz to feature him.” Well, we took it to another level with the October issue of Juxtapoz, with both newsstand and subscriber covers dedicated to show the art of Michael Sieben. In the feature, Michael and his friends talk about skating ditches, drawing pictures, tacos, and beer consumption. Also featured in #81 is AJ Fosik, the carpenter extraordinaire of the fine art world, who is coming to understand how street art has become so big and friendly with the kids. Anthony Lister stops by and discusses Prime Minister John Howard (or at least we imagined he did), graphic artist Kenzo Minami talks about Woody Allen, Mear One moves graffiti to fine art, and Gajin Fujita escapes his elusive role for a chat about the Los Angeles landscape. The October Juxtapoz also profiles Nicola Verlato, Monica Canilao, Martin Ontiveros, Lena Revenko, Guillaume Wolf, Kevin E. Taylor, Irana Douer, Ryan McLennan, and Justin Lovato. We give a review of Pedro Inoue’s show at Stolenspace, Eden’s Edge at the Hammer, Une Estivale 2007 in Paris, and Ghost and Ewok 5MH in New York City. Somewhere in #81, there are some toys, clothes, and a Jail Gallery.
