What are your plans this Saturday? If you’re a fan of MWM like we are, then they should include seeing some new work at the Chorus Gallery in Somerville, MA. On tap is his signature canvas work, a small series of prints, and a new collaboration with Open and Traitor Cycles that consists of of five hand-painted frames, a cycling cap and t-shirt. The opening reception is this Saturday at 8 p.m., and in case you can’t get there, it will be on display until Sept. 8.

JoshSpear.com pal MWM Graphics (Matt W. Moore) is finishing up a month-long stint of work and play in Sao Paulo, putting the final touches on spray painted pieces for tomorrow’s kickoff of his first-ever solo show in South America, Parallel Universe, at Rojo Magazine’s Artspace. The graphic design wunderkind arrived with no materials and created everything in the show from scratch in a studio in boho Pinheiros. The results are canvas versions of his famous vector illustrations, and they interestingly blur the line between digital and literal handiwork. Check out an in-depth interview with him on TotalSPGuide.com in which a writer takes him out for forro dancing and drinks, and in the midst of it all that mental lubrication, Moore reveals some great (and inspirational) insights into his work process.  Looks fantastic.

The debut line of T-shirts from Glyph Cue is brought to us by the colors black, gray and blue, spun together to present their name in innovative graphics. Each image from these Portland, Mainards (including one Matt W. Moore) deserves a prolonged stare, as they remodel constellations, hieroglyphics, and the classic yin-yang in new ways. Our fave is the optical illusion infused fractal design on their Big Bang print.

Since last autumn the work of MWM (Matt W. Moore) has been the frequent subject of our praise and the object of our design affections here at JoshSpear.com. So it should come as no surprise that we’re absolutely percolating with excitement over the news of the art and design studio’s recently redesigned website. The latest incarnation of the online home of MWM Graphics is chock full of impressive new works that run the gamut of design disciplines created for an vast array of clients such as Nike, Zune, and Burton. If you’re in the mood for a visual feast, head on over to the new site and maybe get a bib for your eyes.

Our old friend MWM (Matt W. Moore) got a nice push last week for his soulful geometrics when L.A.’s REVOLVE Clothing featured 16 new pieces from his Vectorfunk series at their flagship store. REVOLVE boasts a synchronized online and physical store, allowing shoppers to request clothes online which become available in the store the next day. We didn’t get a chance to head out there, but you can check out photos of the event on MWM’s blog and REVOLVE’s online store.

A first glance, JS perennial favorite Matt W. Moore’s portfolio reveals a range of styles centered on a knack for arrangement. When it comes to the geometry, Moore can create a compelling scene using the most basic shapes and patterns by utilizing an array of intense colors. Though they lack any conspicuous organic forms, the shapes convey a warmth in balance that you could stare at for hours.

Rather than taking me to the outer reaches, the Navigate the Cosmos trio reminded me of an urban noir depiction; more Gotham City than outer space. And that is where the versatility of MWM shines through. See these new pieces from the Vectorfunk series for what they are. The interpretation is yours to draw.

We can't get enough of the bold, clean work of design master and JoshSpear favorite Matt W. Moore. As the man behind MWM Graphics, we're not entirely sure where he finds the time to get as much done as he does, but we're not complaining.

His latest solo show, MWM 20/20, is up right now at ROJO Artspace in Barcelona. Exploring the collision of geometry and abstract art, his wall-sized works combine sleek lines with in your face color. No matter where you first gaze, your eye is always led on an optic trip to another point of focus. If you happen to be in Barcelona (and if you're heading there, please take us with you) now's your last chance as his show is running until the end of May. All good things come to an end, and you don't have much time left. So go … now!

If you're not able to jet over to Spain, don't despair. His recently released hardcover book, MWM: Vectorfunk, is 160-pages of pure creative vector goodness. Featuring various works from his ongoing Vectorfunk geometric illustration series, the book gives you another glimpse into Moore's world of acid-bright color, symmetry, and light. Plus, it will look damn hot on your coffee table.

Things have been busy for Boston artist Matt W. Moore. Sure we’ve talked about Wallspankers Magazine, the print campaigns, his semi-bohemian existence in the wilds of Vermont, but have we talked about the fourth edition of his Black & White Bangers? No? Good, because that’s exactly what’s happening. The humorous, abstract, and geometrical limited edition 6″ x 9″ Heavyweight Indigo prints are now up for grabs on his website. Each one is individually signed and numbered, with a limited run of 500 sets. Stop reading this! Click!

Matt W. Moore knows the remedy to day job doldrums. An ex-agency man turned big-time web designer, Matt has never renounced his personal creative pursuits for his job – a sacrifice that today's creative types find themselves depressingly prone to.

From his early days in advertising to his current responsibilities (keeping the Burton website sparkly fresh), Matt has been filling his downtime with personal side projects that feed his soul as much as his bank account. His versatile career experiences — as gallery artist, pre-press designer, editorial illustrator, art director, and curator, to name a few — have given him the experience he needs for side projects like Wallspankers, a sticky extension of Matt's graffiti past, and the B/W Bangers, Matt's very own saving grace.

So what is the remedy? It's one part introspection; one part creativity; one part confidence –- and a little dose of self–publishing.

Joshspear.com: For a period you lived the increasingly common double life of an ad man by day/artist by night. What finally inspired you to start MWM Graphics?

Matt W. Moore: I actually started MWM Graphics while I was in college. I would side hustle logos, concert posters, editorial illustrations, anything that I thought would be exciting and help me grow as a designer. I caught an awesome break during my last year of school and started to work at an agency in Portland, Maine called The VIA Group. I later moved into an Art Director position there and worked on some fun accounts, all the while doing personal work and freelance in my free time. Now I work as a web designer at Burton Snowboards, and stay busy with all sorts of personal projects. The “double life” has been my style all along. I hope to one day break away and devote all of my time and energy towards my studio and making art. READ MORE…

MWM is Matt W. Moore, a graphic designer who currently lives with his wife and son in the mountains of Vermont. We’ve written about MWM before in his capacity as one of the founders and curators of Wallspankers Magazine, but clearly there is so much more to see, including his work for a virtual who’s who of alternative marketing clients such as Scion, Ecko and Smart Car. There’s so much here that I can’t do the whole site justice, so I’m going to focus on one thing: mandalas. They are a common art form in Eastern religious traditions, perhaps most famously in Tibetan Buddhism where they are made out of sand to (speaking very simplistically) represent impermanence. MWM’s mandalas are certainly not as heavy as their religious counterparts, but they are breathtaking. Some are geometric like the Tibetan versions, while others are reminiscent of Kandinsky. And the nice thing about MWM’s work is that it’s on your computer, so it won’t blow away in the wind.
