This is the World Premiere of our new show: The What Youth Artist Series. The show is here to give you intimate glimpses into some people who’s talent well runs so deep, that it takes second and third looks to uncover the entirety of it. People, like Matt Maust here, who have talents, and then they have obsessions that become one of a kind art. His talent — and what he may be most known for is as bass player in Cold War Kids, but Matt’s work with art and creation take passion and curiosity to another level. And that’s the layer we wanted to uncover.

We’ll also be releasing a new limited edition t-shirt designed by Matt. They’ll go fast, and we’ll be putting them up at 10:00 a.m. PST tomorrow. And Matt and more of his art are featured in What Youth Issue 11, which is still on sale while they remain right here in the What Youth Store. 

The What Youth Artist Series is produced and directed by Michael Cukr and upcoming episodes will feature the likes of Frank Ockenfels, Langley Fox, Darren Ankenman and more.

Watch the show above and scroll through Matt’s studio in Los Angeles, California below. It’s a beautiful mess:
