"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... Comment - Like

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... Comment - Like

My name is Brazen.
I applied with your school district back in January. In the days of my youth (read: High School) I dreamed of working in your glorious town. 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... Comment - Like

"You do not see things as they are, but as you are" -Anais Nin
My alteration of this quote is:
"You do not teach what you know, but what you are."

Serves tables,
Plans lessons for next year,
Works in an Art Gallery,
Sells Art,
Trains for road bike events,
Blogs,
Balances her checkbook,
Attends social events with friends,
