POEM: English Translation:
Can you use this design rather than the one I first sent you!? I think it looks better than the last one plus I sold the one I sent you over a year ago, so I prefer you to use this one or any other designs that I may not be using.... Had a long conversation with Myles Brown last night. Good to know he sent me the pictures he painted and he was able to sell the ones I liked for good money. She is so happy over me. Sent a picture last night too. I have to tell her the main thought. She was happy after she said, this credit goes to her friend Taylor Bass. Today I captured her picture for them. Thanks Myles and Taylor.

“CRY NO MORE.” The debut album from Hippie Space Girl is set to release April 23, 2021. 9 harrowing tracks blending hip hop, blues, soul, & folk music. 9 songs written crying in the car between bouts of homelessness, mental breaks, laptop spills, and drives across the country. Entirely self produced and mastered, “CNM” is a very carefully crafted body of work. From the poetry in the verses, to the intricate drum patterns, & all the way to the harmonies which Hippie added to match the different Embodiments of Self that she has lived in. There isn’t much more to say other than; I hope that it moves you like it did me. PAGE 32
ARTIST SNEAK PEEK YEAR CREATED: 2019 INSTAGRAM: @HIPPIEPSPACEGIRL SUMMARY: “Hippie Space Girl (she/they) Is a Non-Binary/ Transgender Artist of Sights and Sounds. A wiz of a producer, a maniacal songwriter, video editor, guitarist & a harrowing vocalist; her art is merely an extension of herself. Hippie’s mission in the world is to push the artistic dial back to a place of vulnerability and individuality through collaboration. She recognizes the universal thread in all music is the hurt in the world, and aims to help others use art to heal. Whether she’s crooning over a banjo or spitting over an 808, there’s absolutely no doubt that you can hear her heart in it.” - HIPPIESPACEGIRL

SPECIAL MESSAGE: Thank you for the artists, musicians, and poets that contributed and supported the work featured in CINEMATIC MAGAZINE: CANNIBAL LOVE WAR. This is a project that I consider to be one of the most important I have ever made; and to be hoenst, I think this is what the original version of CINEMATIC MAGAZINE should have been all along. It’s more colorful and cohevsive and unlike the last one, It has it’s own snese of self-confidence and maturity. It’s like a boy in the middle of turning into a man. This magazine has allowed me to become more vunerable and honest with myself than I’ve been able to with my professional art as of late, and I thank everybody who took part in creating this with me. PAGE 35
THANK YOU: When I became an artist, one of my goals was to create a magazine. I wanted to create something that would allow me to be more open and vunerable about some of the most prominent struggles I went thorugh during college that I haven’t touched on with my previous professional work, including toxic relationships and suicidal thoughts. Ever since I started taking up more jobs and working more often with bigger companies and artists I started to feel like my work has become less theraputic than it used to be. I wanted to use this oppurtunity to create something that not only let me express myself in a way that I couldn’t as much as I used to, but also in a way where I could support those who’ve embraced my creativity and ideas and have showed me unlimited amounts of support during my ups and downs. Thank you all for giving me the chance to do so. This really means a lot to me that so many people actually wanted to support this, You all are loved and important.
