The person responsible

Lauryn Price paints the kind of faces that stare back. Big color, bad manners, titles that get her in trouble at family dinners — Eat The Rich sold before anyone could object.

She works in acrylic and whatever else is within arm's reach — denim, oil pastel, spray paint, the occasional collage of things that should have been thrown away. The results are loud, funny, and a little uncomfortable, which is the point. If a painting doesn't have an opinion, why hang it?

Her Instagram bio says "Mediocre and proud." The paintings disagree, but she's not taking it down.

She lives and paints in Northern California. The studio is small, the dog is unhelpful, and everything on the shop page was made by hand, badly photographed by the artist, and priced so real people can own real art.
