Quirk and Creative work well together…






Denise Kupferschmidt and Joshua Smith founded ‘Apartment Show’ - a roving gallery of sorts that takes place in donated apartments (i.e. other people’s homes). Where labels are taped to the walls and the owners own possesions are often mistaken for ART.

Roger Hiorns - Turner Prize 2009 Exhibit at TATE




"Hiorns creates arresting sculpture and installation combining unusual materials. His exploration of chemical processes took spectacular effect in Seizure, in which a derelict flat in South London was filled with liquid copper sulphate, which after a period of time encrusted every surface of the space with blue crystals."

Yeah HAHA MAG is Real.

We got a few emails mostly asking if we were just a blog.

Nope. We're a online magazine with a real launch date. And I'm always twittering away about the craziness that's going on here in Philly as we hustle to meet our launch date.

I'm the Editor and the poster for our blog.

Here's a sneak pic at my creative board - if you look closely you can speculate over our 1st campaign offerings.

Robert Bradford - Recycled Toy Sculptures



“Robert Bradford creates his life-size and larger-than-life sculptures of humans and animals from discarded plastic items, mainly toys but also other colorful plastic bits and pieces, such as combs and buttons, brushes and parts of clothes pegs.
In 2002, he started to consider the possibilities that his children’s forgotten toys could have as part of something bigger. Bradford says he likes the idea that the plastic pieces have a history, some unknown past, and that they also pass on a “cultural” history as each of the pieces represents a point in time. Recycling is not his primary concern, but each sculpture certainly keeps quite a few pieces from becoming landfill. Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3,000 toys and sell for £12,000 (US$19,000). - Tuija Seipell”
