Science's Loss is Art's Gain
Kelsey Brookes is a former biochemist turned artist. He no longer has to make bad jokes at the water cooler, or wonder if he’s become something he hates, at least not on a regular schedule. He now spends time surfing, being featured in magazines like Nylon, Juxtapoz, Beautiful Decay, & Dazed and Confused, and has collaborated illustration work with RVCA, VANS, and Insight.

Prancing about onstage like some giggling, underdeveloped girl, Mick Jagger can barely control his audience with an ineffectual plea: “Brothers, sisters - we don’t want this. We all want to have a good time. So let’s settle down now or…or…or we just won’t play anymore.” While the Rolling Stones preen onstage and Jagger fiddles with his endless mane of bangs, the...

A Valentines day for the rest of us
This Valentines day was spent running around filming shows and taking pictures. It started with a private show by Julie Karr at the Gimp Shack. It was quickly followed by a matinee show at Gallery Five with Sexy Crimes, Ladies, Cloak and Dagger and Slow Death. Then I headed to the National to see Saves the Day and New found Glory. I finally dragged my tipsy bum to the triple at around 8pm to...

My Inspiration Comes From Future Travels
After a decade of collecting textiles in his visits to Kenya, Max Osterweis started his clothing line SUNO. The possibility that Kenya’s political situations might deter travelers from visiting or investing in a country so full of natural resources and talent was enough for him to attempt a company that would employ local talent and showcase some of Kenya’s artistry. I love fashion...
