Dispatches: Clay Lipsky

Clay Lipsky is a visual artist and Emmy Award winning graphic designer based in Los Angeles who also serves as Art Director of the photo blog Lenscratch. He has applied his unique visual style across a variety of mediums, from print and multimedia to TV and film.

His photos have been exhibited in various group shows, including those at the Annenberg Space for Photography, Lishui Photo Festival (China), Pink Art Fair Seoul (Korea), Ballarat Foto Bienalle (Australia), Square au carré (France), Impossible Project Spaces in NYC & Warsaw, Poland as well as The Smithsonian’s National Atomic Testing Museum.
