11.18.10|Celebrate Ten Years Of Tiffe Fermaint Tomorrow Night!|Alright Phoenix, this is the night I've been anxiously awaiting for the past month. Those of you that know me personally have no doubt heard me talk about it at least once during that time, and the rest of you get to hear that now! Tomorrow night at the Arizona Center, the incredibly talented and hard-working Tiffe Fermaint will celebrate a decade of running her own fashion label. First off, I don't know anyone as young as Tiffe who has been an entrepreneur for anywhere near as long, so lets give it up for her for that alone. But beyond ...

10.28.10|Cityscape To Hold Gallery Show And Free Concert For First Friday|I know there's a lot of people with varying opinions on the Cityscape project, and I haven't quite decided how I feel about it all yet. However, I think one thing that everyone can agree on is we need more places downtown that will allow for awesome events like this one to take place. For the December edition of First Friday, the mega-development will be hosting the 26 Blocks exhibit that features 26 writers teamed up with 26 photographers set out to document the history and evolution of 26 different blocks around Phoenix. The exhibit is a tribute to our ...

04.07.10|Brass Buck jewelry by Sam Wilkes|Sam Wilkes is a local actor, artist, and you can now add jewelry designer to the list. He is part of a new generation of designers that are creating jewelry specifically for men and providing pieces that are both unique and artistic. I know I personally have a hell of a time finding jewelry that I would actually enjoy wearing, especially when you look at the poor selection that mainstream designers offer in their mens lines. If you have this same problem, Brass Buck by Sam Wilkes can probably help you solve it with his one of a kind pieces. He ...

10.19.09tim hamilton to give a free lecture at pam on 10/20From PHXART.ORG: "More than half a century ago, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures. Artist Tim Hamilton has turned this modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. Hamilton talks about how he came to illustrate this year's Big Read selection, Fahrenheit 451, and how an artist adapts a work of fiction to the graphic medium. He shares early storyboard drafts and concept sketches, as well as art-historical examples that inspired the look for the adaptation. A reception follows the talk." This will be an incredible lecture to be a part of. It starts at 6 and ...

10.19.09where the wild things are + medicomSpeaking of Where The Wild Things Are, how incredible were the beasts in the movie? I was so happy to see them do away with CGI as much as possible. Using live actors in costume made everything feel so much more alive and made Max seem so much more in the scenes. It's only right that Medicom would release a collection of very detailed and realistic figures of Bull, Douglas, Carol, Ira, Judith, K.W., and a dual set with Max & Alexander. These are available right now at Medicom dealers such as Colette.

09.04.09ryan mcginley’s moonmilkThe combination of natural talent and earned skill that Ryan McGinley possesses is just simply not fair to other photographers out there. This guy is seriously on a level above everyone else and he's only continuing to get better. In 2003 Ryan became the youngest artist ever to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art and has since published books of his work and continued to blow minds the world over. So, I suppose I shouldn't be shocked when he releases a new series of photos and my eyes nearly pop out of my head, but ...
