When I first saw Gregory Jacobsen’s work, I wasn’t sure whether to be enthralled or disgusted. I think I was somewhere in between, and still am. Read more

Portraiture and realism have always been my cup-of-tea, so to speak. I love realism in artwork. Stephen Earl Rogers is a young British artist who works in realism and is becoming well known for his portraits. He has a unique way of capturing a person’s character and his works are technically stunning with just the right level of realism whilst not trying to be photographic. He has exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, amongst other places.

Jeremy Fish’s work never fails to impress with its humor and intelligence. His artwork is fun, whilst also being serious — a difficult blend to maintain, but one that he seems to be capable of without too much effort.

I’ve been a massive fan of Tiffany Bozic’s work for many years, and this has only increased since having the pleasure of meeting, and becoming friends with her, this year. Her artwork is simply beautiful and has a uniqueness that is rarely seen these days. The integrity and honesty within her art also makes her work stand out, she takes months labouring over pieces with a patience born from truly believing in her artwork and it’s message.

Stewy does a range of stencils of indigenous British animals and the odd musical characters in and around a specific area of North London. I’ve seen his work develop from black and white to multiple colour and small to large scale. It started with cats and dogs, and he recently did a full-scale horse. I love walking around town and seeing a great page in a magazine without paying for it. Read more

That PETA-endorsed test-tube meat makes me gag a little. All synthetic food does. But maybe we could find a use for it, like making a meat house.
My friend Sam moved to Portland and subsequently discovered she hates fedoras. She started this blog to document her hatred.
I’ve seen free-jazz spazz outfit Microkingdom many times in their hometown of Baltimore, but their recent gig opening for Skull Defekts was really tight. I found myself head banging to jazz! That hasn’t happened in a while.
