Jacky Sheridan’s work always begins in black, hand-drawn ink—a hardened practicality most artists can’t shake. In observant detail the Irish illustrator conveys complexity in simple outlines and colors, giving way to to life's details without hindering its absurdity.
Lead singer Adam Turla talks haunted venues, unfortunate band names and a new recording process that just may prove to create their most successful album yet.
It’s not only the level of detail in Andrew Khosravani’s drawings that is seemingly inherent to his style; it's the underlying symbolic nature too. With black and colored pencils he creates dynamic worlds in lovely spectrums of color that evoke a range of historical art forms.

She works across illustration, comics and fashion and her signature style is heavy on effervescent tones and devoid of extraneous detail, making for works that straddle a magical line between rigorous and wistful.
Rory Hamovit's photographs leave a strongly cinematic impression, demonstrated by his portfolio, as a kind of montage of fragmented images, all the while synthesizing a pictorial language that isolates things in order to enhance their symbolic quality.
Roz and the Rice Cakes, the Rhode Island band of three, has been killin' it all year touring the country with the release of their latest album, Need to Feed.
