Ragnar Persson: Death Metal & Cheap Wine

Swedish artist Ragnar Persson enjoys drinking lots of wine & listening black-speed-death-thrash-gore metal music.

Ragnar is currently showing his works in a group exhibition curated by Malmö, Sweden's KRETS, titled KNOCK KNOCK at Needles & Pens in San Francisco through November 30th.

However, for nearly three decades, Sister Mary Corita—a Catholic nun, teacher, and inspiration to such luminaries as Buckminster Fuller and Charles Eames—devoted her life to creating cutting-edge serigraphs.
