Our next cover artist...


... is Matte Stephens! He's working on the cover for issue 5 and I can't wait to see it. Matte's retro-style and colour palette is such a good fit for our magazine (and he shares a fondness for foxes). The next issue also features an extensive interview with his rep Lilla Rogers. I'd love to work with everyone in her roster!


You can visit Matte's blog for his current work and links to his shop and exhibitions. And click here for a tour of his home and studio. See even more on Design*Sponge.

(If you've purchased a single copy of issue 4 and would like to start subscribing with issue 5, that option is now available in the shop! Issue 5 will be shipping in April.)
