Combining Art & Activism: Interview with Becci Gindin-Clarke

Becci is one of those people that takes action with things that she feels strongly about- everything from animal rights protests to educational colouring books. These are the kinds of things that most of us (sometimes me) think, “I’m glad someone’s doing something,” before brushing it off. Becci takes that action.
You really know how to [...]

Intensity: Indigo talks Art

Indigo talks about her art “The act of creating keeps me sane, and the work is always coming from a personal place, even if it that isn’t immediately apparent in the content of a particular piece.”

Open Source Artwork: How to Get Over Your Fear of Digi-Theft

I just came from an art class discussing social media. I was shocked. These are third and forth year students at Emily Carr University and their view of the Internet and social media is that the Internet is out to get them, plagiarize, misrepresentation and predators.

Image is Everything: How to Destroy A Belt Buckle

Bang-On, iron-on pop culture, sells belt buckles. Heavy, solid, licensed, genuine belt buckles. Aztec calendars, bull skulls and snakes, heart-breakers, pirates, and dead Indians in feather head-dresses.
I mentioned to Nick, their delivery driver, that I didn’t like it, and he shot me down with an argument as well-crafted as any of Sarah Palin’s. Bang-On is [...]

Chatting with @artbynemo on twitter, he mentioned Andy Warhol had something to do with wigs. Sure enough- his schtick included [...]

How to Become a Full-time Artist

I stumbled across this super amazing comic- I’m really liking it, even though I am not a fan of frat-boy fart-joke humour. But her characters are simple and funny and she’s good at what she does!
