Mo McMasters is a visual artist based in Los Angeles, CA on unceded Tongva land. Their distinct body of work encompasses printmaking, comics, and animation.
Mo received their BFA in Illustration from Rhode Island School of Design before moving to the west coast to begin a career in animation. After working at Cartoon Network Studios for many years, they decided to focus on expanding their comics and printmaking practices. Now they direct their creative abilities toward challenging binaries of illusion and reality, focusing on projects that thrive at the intersection of abjection, playfulness, and transformation.
Being a well-rounded human is also an important part of their creative practice. When they’re not in their risograph studio, Pretty Guts Press, Mo is likely engaging in community organizing, practicing line-dancing, or watching a horror movie.
Clients and collaborators include: Cartoon Network, Eyerus Propaganda, It Gets Better Project, Oni Press, Planet Fitness, Firebrand Creative House, Junior High LA, Punch Kiss Press, The Washi Station, Printed Pony, Nova Community Arts, Secret Headquarters
