In my last post on Tristan Eaton, I thought he was finishing his mural when I took my pictures during Mural Festival. But surprise, during my last visit, he added a lot of details to make a truework of art.

WHO
Born in Los Angeles in 1978, Tristan Eaton started early graffiti painting walls in the cities where he lived (London, Detroit or New-York). At 18, he designed his first toy for Fisher-Price and after he collaborated with Kidrobot with his famous Dunny and Munny. On his murals, Tristan Eaton works with pop imagery incorporating many elements like a comic but with a social aspect related to the news or its location...
Tristan Eaton has just released a book about his paintings through Cass contemporary, contemporary art space & studio in Tampa (Florida, US).
"I decided to put all of my energy into one thing, and one thing only: the hardest and scariest thing in the world… Making good paintings." - Tristan Eaton
I think he succeeded... In this book, you will find all his paintings, 20 years of experience. You can buy it for $US 75 on Cass Limited.
"I still don’t think I’m a very good painter, but I get better every damn day. And that's good enough for me!" -Tristan Eaton
WHEN
2018.
