OC Editorial: House Calls with Solomon Chase & David Toro in Chinatown
Few new publications or brands manage to define their aesthetic within their first few seasons. So when I see something and say, "That's so
Dis" to someone, and they instantly agree, I know that
Dis is something unique. A multimedia art magazine that facilitates everything from live-streamed raves to surveying the latest in art school trends,
Dis has a cleverness made possible by the wit of a special group of like-minded talents—two of whom are David Toro and Solomon Chase. Check out the outtakes from our shoot and read our interview below.
