Justin LaGuff

  • My name is Justin LaGuff. I am a printmaker and Illustrator based in Guelph, ON. I like comics, camping, and terrible music. I care too much about art history and drawing.

  • I favour analogous combinations such as red and orange, and a lot of that has to do with nostalgia. The colours that I choose often come from old toys, video games, comics and magazine advertisements; I am often drawn to colours that feel manufactured and plastic. Mauve and Teal are also nice.

  • Forests and Babewyns, the two often criss-cross with each other and come from memory. but generally, I have a tendency to seek out images that feel schematic, doodled, and broken up.

  • Books, and printed media are personal to me, especially their notions of archive and distribution. The chance to make images that can be elected to the statues of those objects -to be shared, held, and talk about art whenever- motivates me the most.

  • A 1x2 lego brick, an empty coffee cup, and maybe some pocket change
