Trip the Light Fantastic by Josh Rubin
Apparently there's 90% less LSD in the US than there was 10 years ago. Fortunately that doesn't mean there's less creative, psychedelic art work out there. Case in point: Leo Villareal (right), one of the artists to be featured at Thursday night's Creativetime Spring Benefit, a.k.a Trip The Light Fantastic.
In addition to supporting the noble cause of public art, this benefit should be lots of fun! With light shows from Leo and Joshua White, music by James Healy and DJ Olive, a silent auction, dancers and 'inflatables,' a fascinating night is promised. If you have at least $200 to donate to the cause, get your ticket now.

Interview with Erik Madigan Heck of Nomenus Quarterly
by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...

Papergirl Street Art Project
by Ariston Anderson When it comes to street art, it’s difficult not to reinvent the wheel. We often see the same wheatpaste graphics or stencil styles over and over. That’s why we were thrilled that our friend, Berlin artist Aisha Ronniger’s pet project, Papergirl, is starting to gain traction. Ronniger started the project in 2005 when there was still debate over whether or not to...
