C Magazine, Guide to California Style & Culture, includes a feature article about longtime ArtCenter Faculty member Paul Jasmin, in their September 2020 issue.


The article captures Jasmin’s ideology as he reflect on his 50 year career. “Jazz embodies a [time in] Los Angeles when there was still a Schwab’s, when the Chateau was full of grifters and drifters, and prostitutes were everywhere along Sunset Boulevard,” says Lisa Love, the former West Coast editor at Vogue and Jasmin’s friend of more than 30 years. “It’s a romantic notion of a worn and sticky side of L.A. life. It’s not Beverly Hills. It’s the Los Angeles with the lone palm tree bending behind chain-link over a vacant concrete pool.”
