IESEF Febuary, 2015
Everyone has one.. We were taught at an early age to let it shine. Perhaps because time and age and people and the world in general can dim that little light so easily. After almost a year, my filament has been replaced. The electricity of creating and creativity heats me up again. Glowing brighter than ever, I’ve decided to kick off what I suppose will be considered volume two of the IESEF Zine. This time I’m staying a bit more true to the original concept. Compact, black and white, short and sweet, monthly run. No adds, no features, just my works. Another huge part of staying true to the original concept is “simply” staying the course. It can be easy to lose your unique shine among so many other lights, but you have to own your flicker. Believe in it. Blind ‘em. You’ll need shades this year,
