About me:<br />
My name is Erica Willey and I have just recently graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design. For 25 years now I’ve lived<br />
in the same house in a little place called Jamestown, located in Michigan.<br />
My favorite author is Dan Simmons, I enjoy hiking and swimming, and I love to travel. I live a pretty simple life, but now that<br />
I’m a graduate I’m getting very excited of the possibilities waiting to happen.<br />
As of now my goal this year is move to California, create new experiences, and build up my dream career. It’ll be hard work, but<br />
I am more than ready for the challenge.<br />

What’s the purpose of what your trying to create?<br />
Now every artist is always asked what the purpose was<br />
behind their piece of art, and there will always be different<br />
answers. I suppose the purpose behind every painting<br />
I imagine is exactly that; to let the mind imagine, to let<br />
those gears take over and see what a little imagination can<br />
come up with. In a way it’s a sense of freedom to let the<br />
brain wonder off track for awhile.<br />
The end results may be shocking, but that’s the joy of it<br />
all. As to what my artwork is actually about, though, well<br />
that’s a good question. Every painting tells a different<br />
a story, so no piece of work is the same. But if I had to<br />
say, overall, what my work is about, is it’s about beauty.<br />
Whether that beauty is found in the craftsmanship of the<br />
artwork, or the meaning behind it. I leave those decisions<br />
up to the viewer. After all, isn’t art created to engage<br />
one’s mind and expand the imagination?<br />

Our objective is to put up a domain of<br />
our own to replace our flimsy .wix<br />
account. The problem with that is that<br />
acquiring and maintaining a domain is<br />
pricey because of contracting a web designer<br />
and maintaince cost as well as future changes<br />
and monthly announcements regarding our<br />
magazine publications and recent notable<br />
activities.<br />
Here is an introductory video explaining our<br />
goal for financing such a site.<br />

We are a free collaborative artist magazine<br />
that is made with the efforts of artist<br />
around Grand Rapids, MI and abroad. But we<br />
also have needs of our own and with the staff that<br />
we have on board we are not enough and do not<br />
have the man-hours necessary to keep up with<br />
the demands of the artist.<br />
The only option that we will have to resort to is<br />
to make our magazine free to read, but cost a<br />
premium up front for submitting content. Which<br />
defeats the purpose of a free magazine.<br />
That is why we are asking for user contributions<br />
and to further develop our magazine content,<br />
quality and integration with mobile devices.<br />

About me:<br />
My name is Emily Veldman. I am a current graduate of Kendall College of Art & Design with my BFA in Illustration. Currently<br />
I am working at Craft House Gallery as a Program Director and Avenue for the Arts as a Event Coordinator. My illustration work is<br />
very colorful and is filled with interesting and creative characters. These illustrations parallel with a current young adult book that I<br />
am writing. I’m working on making each chapter into a zine that I can sell on etsy and at The Market on First Fridays this summer.<br />
I mostly work with oil paint and love using this medium to create a whole new world with characters, and settings that my audience<br />
can dive into.<br />
