The Art Is Life Issue

It’s hard to think of a time when I wasn’t using art to express myself growing up. Whether I was making mediocre sci-fi films on iMovie or drawing makeover sketches on my notepads, art has always been the easiest way for me to share my perspective. As I’ve gotten older, my appreciation for art and artists has only strengthened. In this issue, singer Dreamer Boy shares how music has played an integral part in his life and discusses the influences behind his incredible album Lonestar. We also hear from stylists, graphic designers, photographers, and more how they’ve built their connection to their art form and strengthened their skills over the years. I hope this issue ignites or reignites your artistic passions and encourages you to see the beauty in the everyday.
