The End of Print?
I went to the Envoy Gallery Monday night for the launch event of CRUSHfanzine, a quarterly publication who’s theme is to examine the intense moments of ones obsession.
According to co-editor Nicolas Wagner’s note, the magazine:
“…came out of both frustration and an unexplainable desire to see, collect, cut out, paste and gather visuals of the same person or subject.”

Where The Wild Things Are
I can’t begin to tell you how much of a profound effect this book had on me (as well as everyone else) when I was a kid. I can remember reading Where The Wild Things Are and then acting out the story in my mind or by myself, it just opened a world of imagination that I still feel some connection to to this day.
Through the years I’ve seen many (kids) books translated onto the big screen, but always wondered when this one would would have its day. When I heard Spike Jonze was directing, I was absolutely elated, in my opinion it was either him or Michel Gondry who would truly be able to tackle the story and give it justice. Then there was the leak of the ‘test shoot’, which made me anticipate the film even more, but then the stories of studio heads demanding there be a re-shoot and re-edit because kids were scared into crying during screenings and my hopes once again started to fade.
Then low and behold….
Nothing is original…
