Edwin Mcswine: Always remember to pay homage to those who came before you
“There’s nothing new under the sun.” How many times have we heard that? Too many to put a number on, but theres a reason why; it’s true. It’s true that history repeats itself. Put an old man in new clothes, he’s still an old man. Because this is true, so is the fact that knowing...

Urban Attic Atl: This typically happens after I have awakened from a deep sleep, hence my title Dream Journals
Not everything is about being in touch with your emotions or manifesting the idiosyncrasies of blah blah blah.

Mr. Toledano: Gamers, Phonesex, and Days With His Father
I’m very iffy when it comes to photography. Well let me rephrase, I hate Portrait Photography. It’s so boring.

D. Lammie Hanson: Visual Art became my loud silent partner who spoke for my soul when I couldn’t
Personally I think it would have been unfair of me to put any other picture in place of this one to serve as the introduction of our latest feature D Lammie Hanson. It’s just that this one sums her up better than any other to me… She’s an artist. My wife and I had the...
