ABOUT
Here For The Story is Justin Schaffer (b. 1987), an American artist and designer whose interest in art and self-expression began with skateboarding as an adolescent. This introduction to the DIY scene, punk rock counter-culture, and homemade videos continue to inspire and inform his work today. Justin's work is an admiration for the details that often go unnoticed. His work reflects the beauty he finds in minimalism, emptiness, and isolation. His process consists of creating stories from curated experiences of moments he’s collected. He lives in Denver, CO, and works out of The Company .​​​​​​​
