THE
PHASE
COLLECTIVE
Well, here we are with our second offering, Phase02 - Community. A collection of art, design, photography, and some other stuff too. All sections are loosely or directly related to the creator’s personal sense of community; what it means, what it should be, what it was, how it affects their lives and/or creativity. Or not, and that’s OK too. Thanks for taking the time to download issue #2, and we hope you enjoy it.
CO
Our sophomore effort has taken longer than we hoped and anticipated, but we’re excited about the final product, and we hope you will be too. And we’re happy to cruise right through our self-imposed deadlines, because we can, and because we have enough real deadlines to worry about at work every day. Phase Magazine is the quarterly(ish) digital publication of the Phase Collective, produced in PDF format, and downloaded worldwide by people like you. We are designers with addictions to clientfree creativity, and we do our best to curate an interesting and imaginative batch of work for you with each new Phase Collective effort. Visit us online at www.PhaseCollective.com to find out more, and we very much welcome your thoughts and feedback. Thanks and enjoy! – The Phase Collective

The Artwork of D. Oram
A look at D. Oram’s “The last wave”
Acrylic/latex on Birch Ply 12’ wide x 8’ high
This is the small town I grew up in awash by the big city. It’s the broken brick smiles over the quaint coastal cabins. As a child I had no perspective on the world outside, none of us ever did then. It was all just beach forts and endless days. I just always assumed that my backyard was what it was, it ran from that picket fence to where the big trees grew at the back. Guess I figured it would always just stay there. Sepia golden, it could just capture a time. Now I’m grown up enough to see that it doesn’t work like that. The cabins stopped getting rented out when they needed too much work done on them. The pipes burst, never to be thawed again. Most of us moved to the city after those summers cause the rent was just more affordable and the work was simply easier. They built condos in concrete where the cabin used to stand. The new highway slices through the front yard where she painted her toes that old summer, where we sang stupid songs and where I started drawing again for the first time. Community is a moment to be captured when everything works, and there is a sense of momentum caught up within a reason. Caught up
within lives. These days its the organic vegetables I trade paintings for, the kids that smile back in their daily travels. The days at the beach kicking this world around. The possibility of lives that will collide with mine. It’s this island in the middle of nowhere that I’m currently standing on, and that city I’m straining towards at times. Smiles, laughter and struggle. The mural was a moment where I was standing. Two years in a relationship, helping to raise her two kids. A winter in the workshop to prepare for the spring show. It was my fear, uncertainty and stubborn smile to the future. Six months later and that’s all changed. The situations flipped. Single again and smiling at that summer sun, only my sketchbook in tow. Hyping to run. But that community, that thread that twines and feels like valid interaction, collaboration and a reason to continue... That hasn’t gone anywhere.

PHILADELPHIA
HAIL SOCIAL Their self-titled debut is brand new to the world, though it feels old to them, of course. It all started with the chance workplace friendship of Dayve Hawk and Matt Maraldo. Hawk had been writing songs for years but was reluctant to share them. Eager to start a band, Maraldo kept on pestering. “We fought a lot because I didn’t want to be in a band,” says Hawk. “But eventually he won.”
USA
Home of The Roots and Jill Scott Good thing, too. Otherwise we’d have missed out on Hail Social’s lithe, dancedamaged tunes. The same tunes that scored the band a prime opening slot on tour with Interpol and the Secret Machines. The same tunes that will haunt you more persistently with each spin of the band’s long-awaited proper debut.
SPANK ROCK Spank Rock is an American musical group, consisting of Armarni XXXchange (computer drums), Spankrock (cool disco mc), Chris Rockswell (on the 1’s & 2’s) and Ronnie Darko (cut creator), The Love Peace Project & the LP3 (the secret weapon). Spank Rock are currently signed to the Big Dada record label, but have released singles under the Money Studies record label Turntablelab, including a track produced by Diplo of Hollertronix. While Spank Rock’s style is not easily defined, it combines elements of hip-hop, Baltimore Club, electronica, and dance.
AUDIBLE After agreeing to fill a last minute opening slot at a local club (despite never having sung in public before), Mike implored his roommate and then-girlfriend Mary Garito to do the following things: help him finish the songs, sing backup, play the Casio sk-1 and egg shaker. She agreed. Their first show was opening for Bright Eyes.
THE COLOUR Produced by Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Tom Waits), The Colour’s kinetic, mood-inducing debut, Between Earth and Sky, has a way of displacing you in time, while simultaneously reassuring you you’re much closer to home than you’ve ever been. With an edgy through-line intersecting most of rock’s classic revolutionary movements, Between Earth and Sky remembers the best places it’s been and points to the direction it really ought to go next. -Steven Trachtenbroit at Big Hassle Media

Vatican DC is a band , they play music together=a band. Steve (singer) started the band with Daniel (Rhythm Guitar) about 1 1/2 years ago then they added Chris (guitar) and Tal (drums). they got going quite quickly and got a few good support slots and then they decided to disappear to write their debut Album. Now they are finished and the album is called Dont Know Yet (due for release soon) they wanted to call it trampoline but some other shit country and western band already had a record out called that. The record sounds like.......fill in the blank.
These former members of The Beta Band have a more funk-based sound.
SUB FOCUS “I smoke about a pound of weed a month and I exceeded that for this record. I can’t imagine what I’d be capable of when I knock it off. I think if I knock it off I’m in danger of becoming a Republican senator. But if I keep it up I’m in danger of becoming a drum-and-bass DJ.” - Dave Sitek, TV On The Radio

Contemporary painter Dawn Okoro is connecting her community with its artists. Okoro’s third solo art exhibition “Creation,” opened at Gachet Gallery in Dallas, Texas on May 5, 2006. A portion of the proceeds and all donations from the show benefitted B.L.I.N.D. (Beautiful Love Incorporated Nonprofit Development). B.L.I.N.D. is headed by neo soul singer Erykah Badu—its mission is to improve communities and the world though art, love, education, caring, and sharing. The headquarters is located at the historic Black Forest Theater in south
Dallas where Badu grew up. The theater hosts first class shows and productions featuring local and world-renowned talent. Educational programs, culturally dynamic events, and forums are also held there. In August 2005, Okoro held an art fundraiser for Thoughtful House Center for Children. The show was a success in that it helped bring awareness to the community and raised funds to aid a local family of an autistic child. Okoro herself knows the hardships of this disability first
hand. Her ten year old brother is a child of autism. Okoro plans to bring the same kind of awareness to the community for B.L.I.N.D. The “Creation” exhibit consists of acrylic paintings inspired by fashion and American pop culture. Okoro is attempting to bring back the support for visual arts and artists everywhere. The community is encouraged to continue to come out and support this cause.

Fallen Fruit a green and luscious community effort worth sampling
a specter is haunting our cities: barren landscapes with
foliage and flowers, but nothing to eat. Fruit can grow almost anywhere, and can be harvested by everyone. Our cities are planted with frivolous and ugly landscaping, sad shrubs and neglected trees, whereas they should burst with ripe produce. Great sums of money are spent on young trees, water and maintenance. While these trees are beautiful, they could be healthy, fruitful and beautiful.
WE ASK all of you to petition your cities and towns to support community gardens and only plant fruit-bearing trees in public parks. Let our streets be lined with apples and pears! Demand that all parking lots be landscaped with fruit trees which provide shade, clean the air and feed the people. FALLEN FRUIT is a mapping and manifesto for all the free fruit we can find. Everyday there is food somewhere going to waste. We encourage you to find it, tend and harvest it. If you own property, plant food on your perimeter. Share with the world and the world will share with you. Barter, don’t buy! Give things away! You have nothing to loose but your hunger!
Fallen Fruit of silver lake
THIS MAP is of our neighborhood. It is for everyone to share, but we ask that you sample what you find and don’t hoard. If you have property, think about planting a fruit tree on the street to share with your neighbors. Most of the fruit you buy comes from far away and more and more comes from overseas. This wastes energy and further alienates us from our food. Eat local, think global. MAKE A MAP – create a fruit map of your own neighborhood and send it to us. We’ll put it on our website. First Los Angeles, then America, then the world!
Find it, tend and harvest it.
Fallen Fruit of santa fe 2nd street neighborhood Principles of Fallen Fruit: Think about who has fruit and other resources, and who doesn’t. Functional landscaping: ask cities to plant fruit trees in parks, parking lots, and on streets. Open dialogue within neighborhoods about public spaces. Mapping it is a way to share with everyone, learning your neighborhood by foot, rather than by car. Ask property owners to plant fruit trees for everyone.
Fresh fruit is a human right.

pixels
the world outside
is
The internet and the irony of modern interactivity
The internet is an amazing thing. The universe is so thoroughly represented—and easily accessed—through a steady stream of pixels on my screen. Beaming wirelessly. Showing me things that I have no business being able to see from my tiny corner of the planet. Through interactivity, I can see it all in 72 dpi, and it’s beautiful. It’s practically real. But it’s so very not real. The irony of today’s online interactivity is that I’m not actually interacting with anything beyond my keyboard, my monitor, my mouse, my chair. I can read online about everything known to humans in 15 languages, and my computer is smart enough to recognize 15 different alphabets/character systems. I can see images, watch video, read someone
else’s blog—but this ‘experience’ online is completely synthetic. And as the hours of my life spent interacting with the world through the internet add up, I’m feeling more and more frustrated that the pixelated version of the universe is taking me over, and driving out the (harder to afford, harder to get time off for) real live actual experiences. I’m worried I’ll be less aggressive about getting out into the world because there’s such an annoyingly reasonable digital alternative. The world outside is pixels. Just pixels. Totally pixelated when you look close enough. The online community is wonderful and massive and intriguing and informative, but I’m itching for the real thing.
Just
pixels.
Just
not the same.
That being
said,
it seems like my only option as a designer (with a young family to support) is to continue pushing pixels around at the agency and on freelance projects until I can make enough cash to get out into the real non-pixelated world. Or if anyone has a better idea | a shortcut to freedom | the meaning of life | or a private jet and an available apartment in Barcelona — drop me an email. You know I’ll be online.
