The Man Who Bearly Left His Cabin

Zach Styles

Written immediately after my first therapy session in five years, this parable acts as a cautionary tale on unhealthy coping mechanisms. Learning that our coping methods are harming us--not helping us--is both frightening and freeing. Our learning often starts after those methods fail us, however, leaving us lost.

Ink !

Hunter

Ink was a collection of 17 works created with ink and sharpie on paper. The project was loosely based on Inktober which is a month long online event that asks artists to create works of art in ink for each day in October. I didn’t follow any prompts, I just took the challenge as an opportunity to draw with ink as my medium for as many days in October as possible. My inspiration for the images was Halloween and many cult favorite horror films. I tried to incorporate spooky themes such as cyborg birds, bloodsucking femmes, and censoring on the internet.

Dan Sultan (Kaiju)

JUBA Jonez

This piece explores the contradictions of man’s and society’s fickle moral fiber. When times are good, all that’s presented is good, but when times get tough, or the opportunity to seize and betray is presented, the inner monster, the inner Kaiju so to speak, rears its head. Of course, the one who avoids such spinelessness is a boss, a Dan Sultan of sorts. Photo by Myke Symon on Unsplash.

The Seatbelt Clicks
