Montague and Byrnes Dwell together
Our friend Julian Montague was interviewed in Dwell magazine’s blog by another friend, and Block Club contributor, Mark Byrnes. Super cool conversation about Montague’s fake-book art, states poster series, and his beautiful Stray Shopping Cart Project. Follow these fellas’ work. They’re doing good stuff. -Ben Photo courtesy Julian Montague Projects

I learned a lot and I came home with a ton of energy, but the one thing I took from...
