Switch Thomas

Switch has character. He's rare. In a world that divvies up art by genre, that constantly seeks to quantify cool, he is impossible to miss, like a panda bear in a pine forest. And over the past year or so, he's become harder and harder to ignore. But Switch isn't about accolades and accomplishments. He's a less-is-more kind of guy, the quiet type who saves his words because his images tell us as much about him as they do ourselves. His live show emphasizes that intimacy, closes that razor-thin gap between the man and his fans. Because as rare as he is, Switch Thomas is also familiar, both in the way he moves among us, undeniably a product of this post-everything, hustle-hard, DIY moment, and in the way he conveys that quality that we're all always seeking: utter timelessness.
