In this issue, you will find showcased 19 curated sections following our tradition of publishing non-redactional curatorial projects. Among the disciplines/projects that will be explored in this issue: we put the “water” in “watercolor,” paper in a deformed fashion, images (potentially) from an Ecuadorian embassy, exquisite benches in re-creation, eyes just eyes, yes drugs, mmmmm paintings, a tale of armor, four decades of amazingness—’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, more drugs and few other options, colorfulness in various forms, & then more color, ’70s crafting meets mid-century architecture, the best notebook, a postcard experiment, more mmmmm with MJ from the Caribbean, soul somehow, big rocks on big paintings, and well, Hermès, and the story of a man with a strange, sad, but groovy legacy… plus two books, a CD, and, oh yeah, a poster. And a dial… Twister style… so total bonus room.
