My friend, artist Gypsy Rose, who hand makes costumed horns, masks and other sundries is offering a one-day only 25% off coupon for any purchases today. I know, as well as you do, you haven’t decided what you are going to be for Halloween yet. Take care of that problem and support an artist! Talk […]
By Christina Lazarakis I whacked my toe last night. I had been chasing my husband, Christopher, playfully trying to tackle him. Turning the corner to our bedroom, my naked, right little toe clipped the edge of the door and I whacked it … hard. So hard in fact that I sliced it. Blood? Not much, […]

Article by: Christina Lazarakis. As a food photographer and creator of the food blog Small Kitchen Chronicles, I photograph peaches. Okay, a lot more than just peaches, but food is my art these days. It wasn’t always that way. I used to paint. A lifetime ago, when I was an art student, I went to […]
The Queen Extravaganza: A truly worthy experience. Last month I previewed and reviewed the Queen Extravaganza for culturemob.com. I was both hopeful and leery. As one of rock’s biggest icons Queen and legendary frontman Freddie Mercury, the QE had a LOT to live up to. Failing to deliver while performing Queen’s classic hits could be […]
A new generation of disillusioned and pissed off youth have taken to Black Metal as a way of expressing their dissatisfaction with their world. In all honestly, it might just be the most real Black Metal out there these days. Their anger is real. Their frustration is real. The fight and it’s consequences are very, […]
Article by: Christina Lazarakis When I first moved to New York, straight out of acting conservatory, I would take the “A” Train up to Washington Heights and get off at 181st Street. By New York City subway standards, it was a long trip. Six more still-in-The-City-moves-in-less-than-two-years later, I would take the very same train in […]

Their goal is a lowly $2000, this money goes to rent the theater, printing and promo costs, technical and design costs. They, of course, have other expenses like costuming, props […]
Artist Charles Spitzack is, quite honestly, an amazing guy. When I first met him, I wanted to hate him. He’s only 24 years old, only been doing printmaking for 4 years…and yet he’s currently showing at Davidson Galleries, Seattle’s premier print gallery. A little bit of jealousy perhaps? No, not perhaps…absolutely. But the more time […]
I had the privilege of seeing Meshuggah, Decapitated and (sadly) Baroness at the Showbox in Seattle. I covered it for culturemob.com Here is the review of the show. The Church of Meshuggah set up shop in Seattle recently. Their faithful flocked to the show like lost souls seeking salvation. And they were rewarded. A sermon […]
