Juxtapoz:

Ryan Heshka is an old soul trapped in the body of a 36-year-old. A Vancouver transplant via Manitoba, he has spent the better part of the last decade painting canvases featuring pin-up girls fighting space invaders, giant creatures battling for dominance, and outlandish landscapes that look like they were torn out of a 1930’s comic book. For Heshka, vintage is not something that is old, but rather an object that is timeless, and he translates that concept vividly to his paintings and commercial work. Juxtapoz caught up with Heshka as he was putting the finishing touches on a few paintings for his up-coming show NEO PULP at Orbit Gallery in Edge Water, NJ opening June 23.
