Lucas

Lucas Mariano is a cultural hipster with an appetite for luxury. While pursuing a chic, city lifestyle, he keeps his earbuds plugged into the urban up and coming. Lucas wants to be the first to tell you about a trendy band to download from iTunes, a breakthrough smartphone that’s coming soon, or a posh spot for nighttime nonsense. Since his graduation from Penn State University in 2009 Lucas has used his Journalism degree to live a mobile life. By car, bus or plane, he has ventured all over North America for a glimpse at cultural singularities. In addition to documenting city life for The Antidote, his work has appeared in publications across the Southeast United States. If you see Lucas in your city, stick close to him for a lead on a swanky vacation or a hip concert. He might invite you along.
