Donning the walls of Nation Toys this November is the works of KOMBOH (aka Michael Mateyko & Hans Thiessen). With a very descriptive theme you can gather that the show will focus on wearable art. There is an assortment of incredible hand screened imaginative and simplistic graphic tees accompanied by some beautifully framed illustrated prints. [...]

Ahoy! We have a special treat this month in the Nation space. Mommy Still Likes Me: The art of Pete & Jo features wood. Art on wood, that is! If you’re in the Calgary area this month, make sure to stop by anytime. Even better yet, if you’re in the Calgary area tonight then we’re [...]

I was pretty enamoured by the photo work of Chris Hornbeck & CincoDesign after a few whiskey’s on ice last night, and on second inspection I’m just as in love. Through the use of projected white light onto the props and models, they’re able to capture magnificent detail in the reflections. I picked this one [...]

Shameless plugs aside, ‘Where There is Smoke, There is Fire’ hosts a series [...]

I say with great certainty that one day I will own an original Josh Keyes painting.  His work is perfectly haunting and meticulous, to the point where you think it’s a digitally compiled piece. The shadows and dissections are seemingly both random and abstract, though somehow make sense alongside the visual juxtapositions of Wildlife v.s. [...]

I’m not quite sure how I found this one, but it sure is a gem. If you’re into the real world of perusing tangible quality, or if you’ve ever had the desire to publish your own magazine head over to MagCloud right a-way.
