Emily Carr University’s studio space is lots of art, and rhyme or reason looks like madness. And the madness of Megan Allard’s painting is awesome: it stands out. I was walking through the space and passed a nook; I did a double-take. Beer, Friends, and Fishnets in a pastoral setting- a fresh, jarring take [...]

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.”
How to Make the Big Picture: Interview with Wendy Marquis
Wendy Marquis of MuralQuest talks about the emotional payoff of being an artist, how to make it work on and offline, and the process of collaboration and constructing one of her timeless images.

Daniel Edlen: Vinyl Art puts a New Spin on Records
Today I get to post an interview with Daniel Edlen!
You have a really great niche and branding- out of many of the artists on Twitter, I find your art really sticks out because of the limiters you’ve placed on it: vinyl & music. When that was happening, did you realize what was going [...]
Interview with Beth Morrell
So what is the main focus of your practice?
Right now I’m working on themes of memory and change in a person. In a way, every moment the self we are dies and a new one is born. We see this most in large changes in our life – graduations, milestones, traumatic events – but every [...]
Designing Artistic Success with Tara Reed
At one point, Tara Reed had the opportunity to get a traditional job. But instead- she created her own, and is now creating her entire life with her art. Not only is she artistically talented, but jobs in sales (selling e-books!) meant that by the time she rolled around to art licensing, she knew how [...]
