In my free time I’m a cold war reenactor who likes to bake bread in slightly suggestive shapes. God, I hope my posts don’t suck.

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!!

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. So this is ArtisticThings.com eh. I don’t think I’ll make a big difference. But what else can I say. 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.

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.

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. [ Continue Reading ]

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.

I am a first-generation Asian immigrant who grew up in California and am now going to college in New York City.  Somewhere in between I became somewhat of a feminist, objectivist, and Social Darwinist.

I think that I have always liked writing, liked art and all that pertains to it (which is pretty much everything in life), and needed money (especially now that I am a broke college student in arguably the most expensive city in the world).  Ergo, I am here and hope you’ll enjoy my quirky taste.  Cheers!
