The Man Bun
“Who doesn’t love the samurai?” he said.
“They’re committed to their ways and devoted to their passions.”
What it means to be a WallFlower By: Cecilia Paredes
Cecilia Paredes is an escape artist, and she does it beautifully to boot. The Lima born artist can seamlessly transport her subject into a jungle of lily’s or a maze of paisley’s, never to be found again. If you could blend into any background what would it be? Also a great way to tell if you like the full body tattoo look.

Dunya Atay Mixed Media
Dunya Atay does not use any glue, scissors or photoshop! The Istanbul based illustrator uses only ink and markers on various fashion magazines to create her beautiful art. To me this poem by Joyce Thomas captures the whimsy of Dunya’s mixed media artwork.
“Sun-struck,
stuck in mid tropic strut, it sometimes stands
as if considering how to cool avian plastic,
dive into the mown lagoon of lawn;
how take flight on dayglow flap-
doodle wings, no matter
if it is ball-bald going nowhere fast.”

Chico & Rita
Does success matter if it isn’t coupled with someone to share it with? With El Malecon of old Havana as the backdrop, the film, Chico & Rita, explores life’s highs and lows to the sultry sway of Cuban Mambo and New York Jazz. As human beings full of life to live there are never enough moments in a lifetime to capture all of our hopes and dreams… unless of course we’re lucky, or, unless we choose to follow our hearts.
Just do it!
