Episode 41: Adrian Martinez

The 4th annual San Francisco Art Book Fair kicks off this weekend at the Minnesota Street Project and so for this week’s guest I thought it would be great to invite one of the exhibitors: Adrian Martinez. Adrian is a photographer here in the Bay Area, member of the San Francisco Photography Club and co-founder of the art collective Illetante. In today’s conversation we discuss his upbringing in Los Angeles, his immersion into the Bay Area art scene and what to look forward to at the art book fair.
