So Basically a Realist

Hello! My musical friend, Michael Philip Reed, has just launched a GoFundMe campaign to help him along in producing his first studio album! If you like supporting independent artists, please spread this around! Donations are great, but spreading the news is what gets these things going.

A signal boost is a fantastic help. Even a donation of a dollar! Michael has been dedicated to his music for years, and has produced and played in such bands as The Smart Brothers, Steam Powered Giraffe, and L.A. Edwards! This is his first big step towards his very own album, and I guarantee a lot of love will go into each jammin’ tune.

UNDERWATER - 2014

AJ Fosik

“Fosik’s feral creations take the shape of fantastic beings that communicate a subversive, anti-religious commentary through the depiction of hyperbolized fictional gods. Nameless, assigned no specific meanings or powers, beholden to no formal faith—real or contrived—Fosik’s idols are not meant to contribute to some grand theological narrative of the artist’s design. They are masterfully made beautiful objects that examine the nature of spiritual iconography through an absence of religious discourse. In this way, Fosik points to the power and scope of man’s innate creativity devoid of divine inspiration.”
