Join us for a special showcase of amazing local artists and artisans!
East Side Mags loves our community and we love helping to promote local artists like:
Vincent DelVecchio Jr
A self taught multimedia artist with projects ranging from lego art to paintings to custom vinyl figures.
Marleni Gomez
Marleni Gomez is a digital Illustrator and cosplayer from Paterson, NJ. She enjoys going to comic and anime conventions all over the East coast and creates work that is fun and thought provoking. She is currently a senior at Montclair State. Her work can be seen at Heyouwitheface.com.
Mauro Balcazar
Mauro Balcazar (MrMauro) started drawing professionally in 2011 with his debut piece inspired by the film “The Last Dragon.” Since then, Mauro has fallen in love with illustrating art inspired by pop culture. Currently, his work can been seen on io9.com and on various audiobook covers for R.L Stine (Thriller Chiller Theater), Matthew Laube (Ancient Awakening), and Andrew Lang (Golden Hood, Cinderella).
Shades is his 1st published art book inspired by his favorite pop culture characters in history! Mauro currently resides in NJ and can be found drawing daily until the crack of dawn. (Send help.)
Fred Paparella
Montclair resident and visual artist, Ferdinando (Nando) Paparella, employs unique concepts and color theory to communicate with his audience. Using aerosol and acrylic paint he draws a line between contemporary and abstract to discuss individual conflict, growth, and relationships with those around us. The end products are warm, positive aesthetics that can be enjoyed by all. He will also be LIVE PAINTING in the shop!
The Art Walk takes place from 6pm-9pm on May 20th! Artists and Artisans will each have a table, showcasing their work, that you can also purchase directly from them!
Looking forward to seeing everyone for this fantastic event!
