Mention: "Shantell Martin lives and breathes her aesthetic—like all creatives should, right? But no, you don’t understand: she wears it, she surrounds herself with it—she is her aesthetic. Luckily for her, her art is great: crisp lines, both intricate and broad, tell humorous visual narratives that often end with a smiley face or birds flocking toward the horizon. She’s exhibited at MoMA, held Ted Talks, worked with brands like Nike and Lane Crawford, and (arguably her career highlight) had a cameo on Gossip Girl. Right now she’s teaching at NYU and working on her many, many fun projects. We got into her Chinatown studio last week and asked a few Room Anatomy Qs."
