Pulp!

This is a quick but very important shout-out to a wonderful new place in San Marco. I have been to Pulp at least three times a week since they opened, and I’m hooked!
Pulp is a juice bar with the most delicious frozen yogurt and smoothies. Below you’ll see their menu, complete with fresh juices, organic [...]

Inspired Interview: Karen Kurycki

I’m incredibly stoked to have this interview to post. Karen Kurycki is one of my favorite local artists. Her use of watercolor and design constantly blow me away. So without further ado, here it is!

How did you get involved in art in general? When you were growing up, what did you want to be?

Foodie Goodness: NPR Food

I know I’ve been absent from blogging. I haven’t received new interview questions back yet from a few local artists, and I  haven’t been to a new food joint in some time. I’m changing that very soon however, and checking out a small cuban joint off Baymeadows that I’ve been told is amazingly delicious. I [...]

inspired: jimbot (james demski)

I recently came across Jimbot’s work and immediately fell in love. I’ll admit that I’m not the best about keeping up with current trends, but his work inspires and sparks that robot love in me. I love the childlike, cartoon-like quality these have, and that they are acrylic on masonite. His work is incredibly inspiring [...]

inspired: Kurt Halsey

Kurt Halsey isn’t new to the art scene. I’ve been a fan of Kurt Halsey’s work for quite some time now. It’s playful and simple, but never ceases to put a smile on my face. I think his whimsical nature and honest phrases of love, loss, life, and everything in between capture even the coldest [...]

inspired: marc johns

This is the first post in what I hope to become many about different artists I’ve found and am inspired by. This week’s artist Marc Johns.

In his profile/bio, he states [...]
