Floating Seattle / Los Angeles ragamuffin, Joseph McSween, aka 2H, now has his solo show on display at the Ronin Gallery in Los Angeles. 2H has come a long way stylistically and technically since his days of striking but simplistic black and white drawings. While his new works still feature beautiful women as the primary objects of his affection, they are more immediately engaging, with more photo-real drawings of women juxtaposed on contrasting backgrounds. The upgraded pricing of his pieces also speaks loads to how much 2H’s name and art have grown within the past year.

But enough about the large-scale, colorful painted pieces; let’s get to some limited edition 2H screenprints which might strike a little closer to home to us Seattlites who have seen his work grow through the years.

Vee Hua 華婷婷 (they/them) is a writer, filmmaker, and artist who splits their time between Oaxaca, Mexico, and Seattle, Washington. Much of their work unifies their metaphysical interests with their belief that art can positively transform the self and society. They are the Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE, Interim Editor-in-Chief of International Examiner, and an Environmental Justice reporter at South Seattle Emerald. They also previously served as the Executive Director of the interdisciplinary community hub, Northwest Film Forum, where they played a key role in making the space more welcoming and accessible for diverse audiences.

Their latest short film, Reckless Spirits (2022), is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy; the feature film version is slated for production in 2026. In 2025, they premiere their documentary short film, Hunt's Trading Post, set just outside of the Navajo and Ute Nations.

In 2017, Vee released the narrative short film, Searching Skies — which touches on Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States — and co-organized The Seventh Art Stand, a national film and civil rights discussion series against Islamophobia.

Vee has two narrative short films. Searching Skies (2017) touches on Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States; with it, they helped co-organize The Seventh Art Stand, a national film and civil rights discussion series against Islamophobia. Reckless Spirits (2022) is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy for a bleak new era, in anticipation of a feature-length project.

Vee is passionate about cultural space, the environment, and finding ways to covertly and overtly disrupt oppressive structures.
