Hugh McLeod. GapingVoid.com "Counter-culture and Urban Art is where it's at," says Tom to me on the phone one day back in November. He's 28, lives with his dad, no job... just makes tedious, hyper-detailed pointillist art in moleskin sketchbooks hoping for a break. Once he got offered a scholarship...

Dots

The Starry Night. Vincent Van Gogh. 1889. Once upon a time there were fireflies, a bike, and drinking alcohol. Oh, and a children's picture book. While not necessarily in that order- like all good stories, seemingly unrelated things appear in the present as a quagmire of moments- and connect in late...

Dear NYC School District,

As I grew older the allure of your tall glittering buildings and swanky people, faded somewhat. The reality of 1600 dollar rent to live in a...
