Dear Readers, I am excited to introduce you to João Ferro Martins this morning. I came across a photograph of João’s on even*cleveland not too long ago (remember this interview?) and was thoroughly taken by each of the pieces that I then saw on his website. João’s work includes installation, sculptures, photographs and drawings which encompass a [...]
Today is a new kind of day. A day that we break our usual routines and try something new – it may only be just once but the fluttering of templates shifting will make it’s presence known. Hooray! Today we can thank Gemma Correll for helping us see things differently. She is a freelance Illustrator [...]

Here is Bobby telling us about himself (past, present and future) and his baby-eardrum (keep reading). Hi Bobby! [...]

I met Ben Goddard at an LA LOVE potluck dinner a couple years ago, soon after he had moved to Los Angeles. Ben is a photographer whose work is, to me, equally thoughtful as well as it is humorous, complex as it is straightforward. His images have a lot to offer visually and figuratively. Here [...]
