PARTNERS & ASSOCIATES

Matthew Vescovo
Partner, Instructoart Book Associates. Matthew Vescovo, is slowly building a small empire with his Instructoart series. It all started with his first Instructoart book Lesson 1, published by Jorge Pinto books. The unique close working partnership of Jorge Pinto and Vescovo paid off as Lesson 1 went into it’s second printing only a few months after release

In addition to the book, Vescovo has produced 18 animated shorts for MTV. These pieces are regulars on the network and some have premiered on The Video Music Awards for the last two years. He also has had a solo exhibition at Galleria Ramis Barquet in Manhattan in February 2004, and in 2005 he had shows at Mendelhall Galleries in LA, Espacio Arte Joven in Mexico City and another show at Ramis Barquet.

Instructoart’s appeal comes from Vescovo’s ability to tap into the truth about people. He claims that this comes from an almost obsessive studying of  the people around him and how and why we they do the things they do.

Vescovo was born in 1969 in Brooklyn, New York. He lives with his wife Nancy and daughter Lola in Brooklyn.
