INSIGHT Volume III Issue 3

INSIGHT Volume III | Issue 3 is filled with artists who decided to do it for themselves. Everything ranging from two Brooklynites starting an ice cream company because they lived outside of the delivery zone—Phinizy & Phebe—to a creative nomad who blends graphic design with illustrations all wrapped in her passion—Laura Galvin. You will see pictures of Cuba (probably one of the easiest ways to go there...for now) by Johanna Treffy, art nomads decorating the street and re-imagining of famous faces also complete this issue.

In light of the devastation in Haiti, we decided to feature Alejandro Guzman's "Haitian Generals" on the cover of Volume III, Issue 1. The piece is part of a larger series of drawings, which Guzman hopes will encourage people to look to the past as inspiration for how to rebuild Haiti. This issue also features a Q&A with Emmy-nominated illustrator Wayne Coe, photos by Alzo Slade, and much more including a heart-breaking, but triumphant autobiographical story by Emily Carmen. We've also added some new features and a color-coded layout. Click here to read INSIGHT vIII.1 now (right click and select "Save As" to download the pdf).
