Lappin first started creating collage art in 2007 for a clothing company creating original designs. In 2008, Lappin moved to Brooklyn and began working with paper to create contemporary collages. His art, like his mind, is a combination of comedy and chaos, with elements of music, vintage horror, and sci-fi. Lappin’s work ranges from seven-foot-long cartoon metropolises to fictional album covers to take-out Greek diner coffee cups embedded with tiny paper worlds. He uses nostalgic material from his childhood from the '80s, such as VHS Tape boxes, video game cartridges, and any other '80s household items that could cause you to experience flashbacks. Having a background in collecting and curating, he set out to assemble some of his favorite collage artists from NYC, and so in 2013 the Brooklyn Collage Collective was born. The BCC has now exhibited all over the world and has a strong global presence amongst collage-makers and collectors alike.
One Dark Night in ParisBy Leah Mueller  Artist Statement If you have only one night to spend in Paris (long story) you can do worse than the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. It’s as big as a small city, and famous people are buried everywhere. Good luck trying to find them. My husband and I walked for a couple of hours before we found Jim Morrison’s grave. It was smaller than I expected and roped off from the public. The headstone bearing his name seemed big enough, but not elaborate. Pere Lachaise’s fancy graves belonged to people we had never heard of, and they spread for miles in every direction. I used a special filter to highlight the creepiness, with surprising results.
Emotional Logic Catherine Kyle creates poetry that stretches the emotional imagination while also exploring our modern world. Her process has inspired six poetry collections, including Shelter in Place (Spuyten Duyvil, forthcoming), Saint: A Post-Dystopian Hagiography (dancing girl press, 2018), Parallel (Another New Calligraphy, 2017), Flotsam (Etched Press, 2015), Gamer: A Role-Playing Poem (dancing girl press, 2015), and Feral Domesticity (Robocup Press, 2014). When creating her work, Kyle is inspired by untouched realities. Read more in her artist statement below and then dive into her gorgeous poetry: "What excites me most about poetry is that it can exist as a space, opportunity, and practice that doesn't abide by the normal rules of reality. In poems, anything can happen. Emotion has its own logic, and I think poems offer a chance to explore that." Voz Callada Artist Statement
This is a cropped photo of my first-ever woodblock print, made today. The professor asked the class to test out different knives and improvise. We were not supposed to draw a design or even necessarily have an image in mind. "Just be jazzy," he said. Graduate school has been a time for me to take risks, to be "jazzy," as it should be. That means even on days when I don't feel well, such as today. ViolenceBy John Sweet  chasing headlights down december
