Victor Gastelum upholds the grand California tradition of elevating street-art tropes to gallery-level heights with the spray-paint stencil multiples in Xacto Mundo. The Long Beach-based artist plays on his urban roots, employing images that reference car culture, blue-collar living, punk rock, violence, and his own Mexican heritage. Gastelum's a busy man: he's illustrated for everyone from F*cked Up + Photocopied to the New York Times magazine. Gastelum was also the first album-cover artist for Southwestern indie rockers Calexico, whose mix of grit, polish, and pathos is an appropriate analogue to his design.
