EDITOR’S NOTE Welcome to the future! The new year is here and we at Project Oh! Magazine couldn’t be more excited. As we say our goodbyes to 2013, we also want to thank everyone who has been a part of this project so far. We are happy with what we have been able to accomplish and look forward to doing even more in 2014. So, what better way to get things started than with the release of a new issue? In this edition, we have the photography works of Christina Looker, Kenyatta Martin, and Vanessa Cabrillas alongside paintings by Kevin Gardner and an exclusive comic strip drawn up by illustrator Erwin Ledford. We’ve also added a few photos of model Adrianna Espitia to accompany the cover photo as part of our first model feature, which we will expand upon in future issues. We would also like to extend a special ‘Thank You’ to the contributors of this issue who took time out of their busy, end-of-year schedules to provide us with content. We hope you enjoy this quarter’s edition, and don’t forget to check in at projectoh.com for additional content and features. Happy New Year! Jeremy Gonzalez jeremy@projectoh.com
