About Me


art by mags! is the business name of new orleans-rooted, currently- louisville-based, art-n-craftivist margaret coble, aka mags. spray paint and stencils are my friends. i make hand-stenciled clothing, signs, and vinyl record clocks, all with my own original stencil designs. i tinker with silkscreening and other diy printing techniques, too. and i've been known to hand-paint furniture and paintings in a folk art style as well. mostly i'm just fascinated with the process of printmaking, in all its many possibilities and forms, and with paint in general.
(i'm also the music reviews editor for Curve Magazine - so send me your promos! message me for my address.)
art by mags! is a member of both the new orleans and louisville, kentucky craft mafias.
my work can be seen and purchased on my biz website: artbymags.com .
it can also be seen and purchased via the new orleans craft mafia webshop .
PLUS i have listings on etsy.com as well.
