SomewhereBlue

Thank you for checking out my author page:) I'm on the West coast, currently in the Bay Area, originally from Montana. I joined AT in January of '09 because I love to write and I love art. A grand combination:) When I'm not writing about art, I like to try to create it. I started out in community theatre, back home, and now I act in films as well as in theatre houses in the Bay. Acting led to singing, and singing led to piano playing, which is all now leading into the idea of making my own music. I started modeling three years ago and am now working as a swimsuit and underwear model. Aside from those fun things, I enjoy dancing ballet, jazz, tap, modern, and Brazilian Samba, snow skiing, acrobatics, motorcycle riding, rock climbing, camping, wake boarding, horseback riding, cooking, anthropology, watercolors, yoga, swimming, and road trips. I hope that AT has enlightened you as much as it has me. I never thought I would see such amazing things, I feel so fortunate. There's an endlessness to creativity and imagination in this world, and I am continually inspired.

g.jessy

New to Montreal, Ontario native g.jessy’s social environment includes: kitchen dance parties, a sewing machine, books, whiskey in bathroom stalls, and all kinds of trouble. She likes art that inspires people to question the world around them and believes in education as a tool of empowerment. If you poke around the internet, you can find her on a few feminist sites taking part in some rather interesting critiques of the modern art that is Pornography. g.jessy also has a tendency of making the good girls go bad.

IngridA

Hello Everyone, My name is Ingrid, and I live in Montreal... I just pretty much moved here from sunny Miami Beach, FL, but contrary to what some might think I enjoy the cold a lot better than I do the Heat! I am excited about the idea of exploring Montreal, and everything this city has to offer. I was a Music student in the US, but I have noticed that beyond a passion for Music, I have a passion for the arts. I have been performing since I could walk and talk, and well the rest is just history... talking led to singing, which led to dancing, which led to performing at random places.... and then inspiration hit me to convert thoughts into words. As I started reading more I felt I had more things to say myself, and so I would write short stories, poems, and a lot of lyrics. I was raised in Miami Beach, and we all know that it is the party center of the US.... I love the social scene, going out dancing, dealing with good looking people, and having a good time with friends at the beach, but I am also glad I finally got to move to a different city with a whole new culture to be explored. Wherever I go there is never a dull moment, I am bringing the Miami party spirit everywhere I go.

Salvatore

I read stories about hard boiled detectives in streets of noir. It makes smoking seem cool. I read ancient samurai thoughts and philosophies. It makes me think I can fight. I raise fifty-five cents pre flop. It makes feel like 007.I drive at four in the morning. It makes me feel like the desert. I think in romance. Because I’m ugly on the inside. And maybe the outside too. I watch TV and movies. I am Mr. White. I am Brock Samson. I am Private Joker. I dream of illusions. They make me feel like a magic man. I talk about delusions. It makes me feel like there’s something beneath my tongue. I smile when the sleepy sun paints the sky in cherry. It reminds me of wonderful things. Maybe you'll see me on the street one day. You can tell me how much i suck. We'll have a drink, maybe a cigarette and then I'll write about it all. Because there isn't that much going on with the goo in my head.

LauraB

Laura Beeston is (another) Montreal-based artfag blogger, posting in between working towards a B.A. in journalism and editing at The Link, Concordia’s independent weekly newspaper. Attempting to master French in the process, she eagerly anticipates art reporting will force her from the office and onto the mean/sexy/inspiring ’scene’ consistently shaking down 514. Wild eyed and lipstick smeared, Laura has also been known to organize and perform burlesque, and has a karaoke alter ego.

LadyInWaiting

I’ve been a loyal follower of Artistic Things since I found it online several months ago. This blog has opened my world to styles and genres of art which I might not have ventured into all by my lonesome. What I found over time was that it was more than just the style of art which kept me coming back week after week. It was, what I’d like to call , my tour guides (a.k.a. bloggers). Each one of them brings their own unique perspective while still allowing me to see the art from my point of view. I really dig that ! So, one fine day I decided that I wanted to be one of “them” and so, Voila! Here I am!!

PorscheS

I was named Porsche Simpson. Although I have an uncle that’s a famous actor, O.J. Simpson is not him. I know what you’re thinking…damnit! You want to know something…I love to write. I believe that writing is in my blood. So much that I didn’t cry as a baby, I jst wrote my ranting down “wah wah.” I’m really cool in person and I hope to exude that through my writing. If I don’t, I am sorry.

Brilliant Toronto-based female who knows a thing or two about the artistic world. Or.. She likes to think so anyway. Some form of student, some form of writer, some form of artist. Basically: brilliant.
