MATT LUCAS
bio
Matt Lucas is an artist/photographer/designer in NYC. He began taking photos as early as 7, when his mother gave him his first Hasselblad. Since then, he hasn't done much. His mother continues to buy him photographic equipment, with which he quickly grows bored and discards. Matt's true passion lies in the worlds of Pog collecting/trading and Magic: the Gathering™. Here's a statement.
