Of course we previewed the mythology-based calender of International Supermodels Gone Greek back in November, but to […]

LIAS sits down with one of America's top pop culture illustrators

I first recognized Tara McPherson a few years ago sitting at her booth at Comic Con — it was insane. The line to meet her and have art signed wrapped around 2 other booths and basically shamed the couple other artists with signings at the time. I realized then that McPherson has the sort of […]
