“Slaying The Fairy Tale” with Dina Goldstein
A Study in the Art of Rock and Roll Survival
by Ken Fosnot
For me, Green Day’s triumphant set at Lollapalooza 2010 was less about watching a concert and more about survival.
The day started early: my friend Dave and I ate some donuts at 7:30 a.m. My dad bought them for us. Dave and I live in Central Illinois, but we used my parent’s suburban Chicago...

“The Kids Eye” with Tatianna
by Ginger Rudolph
Gearing up for our new feature “The Kids Eye” we came up with the idea to spend some time observing a art-tastic kid in their environment. We want to talk to them about their interests, get involved in their art hobbies and maybe even convince them to take a field trip with us. Our objective is to learn from one another. Can we experience art again...

In Exploration of Stewart Watson
by LeighKaren Labay
Stewart Watson is what you may call a “late bloomer.” After she got married and had a son, she finally gave a larger voice to her innate talent as an artist. Her art is 3-dimensional, combining the natural and the industrial. As you will see in the photos, her pieces are wonderfully whimsical,...

THINGS WE LOVE…AGAIN

It’s that time again were we like to share the amazing finds we come across trolling the internet. Without further ado…enjoy our Staff Picks for the month.
We love Sophie Blackwell’s blog, MISSED CONNECTIONS…where she post her beautiful watercolors inspired by real anonymous messages posted online by strangers reaching out to one another. Even better,...

Going at it with William Hundley
by Ginger Rudolph
When I first contacted photographer William Hundley, I had a hunch that he didn’t take himself too seriously. I was hard-pressed to believe that anyone putting a Chihuahua on top of cheeseburgers had an ego complex. Hundley’s photo series has a run of eccentric themes with simple titles. Because of the nature of...
The Los Angeles Immigration Rally
by Kristen Piechocki
On May 1, 2010 I attended the Los Angeles Immigration Rally to experience and photograph the intensity of emotions surrounding the newest law in Arizona. We arrived at a stage that was set up with Mexican Polka music playing, people holding signs, sporting protest shirts, and many people waving flags. The majority of...
Within Context: Marina vs. Your History is Not Our History
by Lynn Maliszewski
Would you blindly climb a mountain, ignorant of terrain and weather patterns? In idealizing a hike outside of these factors they become obstacles, threats to the success of the trip. Such romanticized endeavors fester with prickly inflexibility and potential danger. The framework of an artwork’s production and its context can serve as a...
Photo Essay – The Ghosts of Coney Island
by Leighkaren Labay
I was wondering if I would have any trouble finding a parking spot due to all the snow, but the minute I turned on to Ocean Avenue, I saw it would be easy. The street showed no signs of life. I pulled my car up in front of Nathan’s and went in. I...
“Slaying The Fairy Tale” with Dina Goldstein
by Leighkaren Labay
HAHA MAG: I know as a child, I was affected by the Disney princess images, but since none of them resembled me, I really couldn’t relate. As an adult, having not been exposed to the Disney Cannon, what were your first thoughts on being exposed to them? Did you relate on any level...
Peeking into ‘BAGS’ with Ellie Brown
by Ginger Rudolph
I’ve never thought much about the contents of other people’s bags. But I have thought plenty about who sees inside mine. Normally it’s crammed with things that I’d only be comfortable sharing with close friends. I try to deter overly familiar acquaintances from rummaging through it for those “do you have a…?” items....
Serving it up with Food Party’s, Thu Tran
by Ginger Rudolph
Ok…This is Thu Tran (sometimes Thu can get crazy).
And this is Thu on the set of her show Food Party.
I like to describe it to newcomers as Pee-Wee’s Playhouse meets Martha Stewart on crack. Thu has created this highly addictive cooking show where there isn’t much cooking going on. Instead, look for hijinks,...

Image: Marie-Claude Marquis, I am not hiding
Montreal based artist Marie-Claude Marquis is causing a stir with her paintings – gritty interpretations of everyday occurrences that capture the heart of the subcultures evolving around her. We caught up with her to ask her a few questions...
