Interview with Matt Goldman
Graphic designer and event promoter Matt Goldman—also known as MFG—may actually have the best job in the world: He’s a graduate of Shepard Fairey’s renowned Studio Number One, where he was a senior art director, and now he puts together some of the best parties on the planet.
