Matt Stallings
Cover for Issue 386
New York
Issue 386 October 30, 2007

Matt Stallings might have been born in Ventura County's small town of Ojai, but he was destined for big things. He's been an illustrator for four years and has recently picked up painting again, which has been more of a learn-by-doing process. Stallings finds inspiration in the uncomfortable, offbeat, and generally unpopular. Whether cruel or comedic, he has an appreciation for humanity's flaws, such as when he saw a homeless man with a beer belly wearing a mini skirt and holding a sign that said, "Need money for a sex change. I'm not hungry." Along with his brother, Jeremy, Stallings owns a graphic-design and web-development company called Ninthlink. He is also combining his newfound love of painting with several web-based products in hopes of furthering the growing art community.
