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. Some art is just about, catching the eye, and being the one thing that you’ll take home at the end of the day thinking… “That was dope, that was the most interesting thing I saw all day.” Maybe...

Kirby Lauryen: I won’t be a complete person until I learn how to be on the other side of love
One thing about me… I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to music; songwriting especially. That’s why this is probably my favorite feature thus far; because Kirby Lauyren is not just a great voice, but an excellent songwriter and all-around talent. In any craft, consistency is the name of the game. It’s what sets you apart,...

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...

Gem Club: I think it is just being comfortable with yourself and your ideas that makes you a better artist
252 is by far my favorite song from Gem Club. I’ve been consistently listening to their music lately and it’s served as the soundtrack to much soul-searching and problem solving for me. The band consists of Christopher Barnes on piano and vocals; Kristen Drymala on cello; and Ieva Berberian providing additional vocals. Together they have experienced much...

Shellton Tremble: LOVE is the embodiment of all creation. It is the ‘force’ of attraction and purpose wrapped in the power of infinity!
Dope right? Wait until you see more of Shellton Tremble’s artwork which he calls “So True”. The work speaks volumes, but if you really read what he has to say behind all of what you see, then you’ll realize that Shellton has a true appreciation of his gift as well as how he plays into...

Joshua Harker: Making a difference in someone else’s life or work profoundly impacts your own
That is a Tangle. It’s made by an extremely interesting artist by the name of Joshua Harker. In fact,”interesting” doesn’t do our latest feature’s artistry justice. Mr. Harker’s work pulls the edges of technology into it’s grasp in completely opposite ways. I really can’t explain, I can only invite you to see for yourself. IVYBetty,...

Kottavei: i cannot remember a moment of not having the desire to create
Gotta thank the wife for this one. I don’t know how or where she found Ms. V. Kottavei Williams, but the the artwork, it’s quality, soul, and integrity all speak volumes for the woman that Kottavei is. EVERYTHING is a part of the process of creation in the eyes of Ms. Williams. No detail overlooked...

Lou Ros: I’m more interested in a search of freedom and strength in an unfinished painting than the perfection of a well-finished canvas, which only shows technical prowess
An artist who makes his living and creates his happiness from the often quoted, but seldom understood philosophy that less, is more. Ladies and gentlemen, Lou Ros I find myself obsessed with perfection. I am fascinated by it and how perfection, just like beauty, comes in so many forms, and from so many different approaches....

Iris Bonner- You can fail, but it’s all about what you learned. Everyone will struggle, but it’s all about the end result
It’s funny how art hits us in different ways. I think this is because the art is a representation of its creator; their personalities, insecurites, ideas etc. and how it all come across through the artwork. That has never been more the case than here with Iris Bonner who cleverly named her Fan Page, IB_Art....
