These places are real
Gediminas Pranckevicius paints as though these places are real. But, I think they are. The only reason I have to believe they might not is because I haven’t received an obnoxious call from a computer woman with a LIMITED TIME OFFER for a cruise that will take me to one
Melissa Manwill
If you want your pretty little socks blown off, you need to see Melissa Manwill’s work. As some of my favorite people to learn from and study, students embody so much of what it means to be an artist. Now I don’t mean the crippling debt, the abundance of ramen
Mark Weaver
With New Years resolutions rolling off everyone’s tongues like fibbery from an 11 year old arsonist claiming he didn’t know how mother’s prized magnolias were reduced to ash, I feel it appropriate to feature an artist that sets the bar so high some would claim he was telling whoppers himself.
Nicolas Delort

A Back and Forth with Dadu Shin

Natalie Hall
Natalie Hall loves lines. But its not your typical line. Somehow she’s bred an unholy hybrid of water and smoke, capturing it within a pen she can work with. And man is it working for her. For Natalie, this mysterious organic compound pours out with such ferocity that it takes
