Artwork by Roberto Rodríguez, on display at Escuela de Arte San Telmo in Malaga.
Malaga, Spain recently played host to independent Art & Culture Festival MOMENTS 2015, which wrapped on October 24th. The event brought a taste of pop culture and art from all over the world to local university students at Escuela de Arte San Telmo in Malaga. We shared footage from the event’s first year here on our blog, and today bring you a recap of its second installment. This year highlighted the work of Los Angeles based artist Tim Biskup (first featured in HF Vol. 2), who shared his talents in a workshop and showcased new character-driven abstract paintings in a solo exhibition at the school. Other artists on hand were Vancouver based graphic designer Andrew Pommier, Berlin based “Pop-collage” artist Yoh Nagao, and local artist Roberto Rodríguez, whose psychedelic illustrations of nature were featured on our blog recently. MOMENTS is the first festival of its kind in Malaga, through expansive workshops, screenings, mini-concerts and art exhibitions that highlight subcultures of fine art, photography, music, tattoo design, skateboarding, and more. Take a look at more photos and video of their 2015 event below.

This last Friday, the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, California (MOAH) celebrated over twenty years of toy art with their retrospective exhibition, "The Art of Toys". The exhibit is the first of its kind for the west coast, featuring some of the movement's most memorable pieces by artists and their manufacturers. The first modern designer toys hit the market in the 1990s, with many of their creators originating in the Lowbrow, New Contemporary, and even graffiti scenes. Recognizing the potential for the collectibility of their characters, participating artists like Tim Biskup, Mark Ryden, Nathan Jurevicius, and even Hi-Fructose's own Attaboy, began marketing their designs to collectors as limited editions.
