      David Chorlton has lived in Phoenix since 1978 when he moved from Vienna, Austria, with his wife. Born in Austria, he grew up in Manchester, close to rain and the northern English industrial zone. In his early 20s he went to live in Vienna and from there enjoyed many trips around Europe to enjoy and paint its landscapes and towns. In Arizona he continued his art work as well as writing poetry. He has grown ever more fascinated by the desert and its wildlife, and especially enjoys the mountain ranges of southern Arizona. The most recent of his published books (in print) reflect this involvement with nature; they are Waiting for the Quetzal (March Street Press) and The Porous Desert

        Christina Sanders is a former Marine and Iraq War veteran. Since leaving the military she has rediscovered her love for the arts, with deep interests in creative writing and digital photography. She believes art can be highly therapeutic for individuals working hard to overcome some of life’s challenges, such as those created by the ravages of war. She is a winner of the 2010 Community College Poetry Competition, administered by the Community College Humanities Association. Her winning poem “The Desert Dust” was selected for presentation in an online anthology, “Poetry for the Mind’s Joy”. On occasion, you may find her “slinging hate and discontent” (as one reader once put it) on her blog Glory, Guts and Glitter. Much of its content is not intended for sensitive, uptight, overly serious readers. Or perhaps it is. You can visit her blog at glorygutsandglitter.com.

        I live in Waverly, Ohio and have lived in Ohio all my life. I’m a self taught artist with no formal training. I am the happiest when I am creating. The two pieces here: one is just paint on canvas. Graffiti style. The other is mixed media on canvas. The angel in this piece is from cemetery photographs I took. Which is a recent hobby of mine. Both have been digitally altered.

        From my tiny office space in my house in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I look out the window and watch foxes run down the hill through the pine trees; I always cheer on the squirrels when they stand off with the magpies; I watch the snow drift and the iris bloom, the aspen leaves turn color and drop. And all the while scheme and plot where in the world I'll travel to next, leaving my paradise behind for awhile to see what else is out there. I write literary nonfiction, primarily about my travels (most recent essays appearing in the spring 2010 editions of The Indiana Review and Sou'Wester). And I dabble in travel photography.

        The image Fort Ord Paint Ball is part of a series on the closed military bases in California. While few of the structures would inspire an architectural preservationist, their most affecting quality is the feeling of abrupt abandonment of spaces where soldiers, sailors and airmen lived while they prepared to fight a war. 
        
         
         
         
        Karyn Eisler took these photos on Granville Street in Vancouver, Canada -- Boxing Day 2009. While people-watching, she shifted her gaze from their faces to the bags they were holding. She simultaneously wondered what was in them, saw them as icons of consumerism, and soaked in their beauty. Karyn teaches the sociology of popular culture at Langara College.

          I am a carbon-based humanoid life form standing five feet tall with a particular affection for monsters, high heels, and cutlery from low-end dining establishments. I never remember where I park my car, and I aspire to someday make things explode with my brain. I don’t believe in absolutes, but what I absolutely believe is something Oscar Wilde articulated better than I ever could, “every saint has a past and every sinner has a future”. My painting techniques are very physical. I work with aggressive brushstrokes, scratch directly into the paint with my hands, and tear the canvas. I often sew the rips and gouges I create and through them, establish an intimacy with my work. While painting, I typically jot down stray thoughts and images in permanent marker directly onto the canvas. I tend to paint over most of them, however, some of the writing is usually visible. This layered aspect allows my work to act not only as a painting, but also an index of my process.(See more of Danielle's work in our Art section.)

The image ‘parking_position’ happened in a local parking lot – that day, she browsed her files for ‘red’ images, and then started to see ‘red’ everywhere she went.
