Aaron Horkey was birthed and reared deep in the heart of the Rural Midwest, specifically the small farming community of Windom, Minnesota. Key personality traits include debilitating social ineptitude and a perverse attention to detail. Also, believes himself to have been born 100 years too late. Enjoys desolation, megafauna and transplanting sumacs. Currently ensconced in a bucolic whistle stop just west of the Mississippi, he whiles away the hours writing of himself in the third person, staring at his chore list and cultivating ulcers. Fully prepared for and welcoming a long languishing into obscurity, Aaron is the sole survivor of the Black Osprey Dead Arts Society and founding member of the Cottonwood County Druids Skateboard Gang. Previous clients include INIT Records, Cougar Den, Flip Skateboards, Playge, The Blinding Light, ISIS, Converge, Neurosis, Boris, Andrew Bird, Grails, Genghis Tron, Spitfire Wheels, SOS Press, Fat Possum Records, Deathwish INC, Hydra Head Records, Bruce Horkey's Wood and Parts, Agenda, Big Brain Comics, Cable, Flight of the Conchords, Mogwai, Ride Snowboards, Magic Bullet Records, Khanate and 420X10 Records. Published in the following periodicals: Thrasher, Concussion, Sea of Seed, Color, Monster Children, Juxtapoz, Ollie, Free & Easy and Low.

Sarah Crowner
Sarah Crowner is a Brooklyn-based artist whose vibrant sewn paintings have been based on specific compositions from the past, such as early works by Victor Vasarely and Lygia Clark. In two concurrent shows this fall, Crowner presents new work that amplifies her previous methods while setting them on a new course. “Acrobat” opens at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery in New York on September 7 and “Ballet Plastique” opens at Galerie Catherine Bastide in Brussels on September 11.
Night of the hunter
Myself and my friend Sarah watched Night Of The Hunter the other night...I love this film....its really dark.
Robert Mitchum plays Harry Powell, a preacher who roams the countryside looking for potential victims for his holy man con. He believes God is putting people in his path for exploitation (his faith isn’t the con), but plays on the expectations of others with a mighty Tent Revival voice and commanding tales of good vs evil illustrated by the tattoos on his fists.

Alison Elizabeth Taylor
Alison Elizabeth Taylor is known for creating biting social critiques executed through the exquisite craft of marquetry, or wood veneer inlay. Taylor, who is a recent MFA graduate of Columbia University School of Art, creates narratives that offer insight into America by investigating the distractions of contemporary culture such as sex, video games and luxury SUVs. The artist’s combination of marquetry, often associated with luxury and the reign of Louis XIV, and the ideologies of American life, further underscores the opulence of our time.
This is another recent painting ...again a juxtaposition of three scenes from the film Hanna (2011)
...entitled 2.09-3.04. Painted in acrylic and oils on panel.
