The evening will […]

Where is the Window? You sit or lay in a building welcoming you to some reminder of light. I remember there is such a thing as outside when I’m inside by a window. But where is inside exactly… and what is outside? I ask you: Can one window be the same window another looks […]

This past Labor Day weekend, Baltimore’s Arts & Music festival, ScapeScape took over the Station North Arts District. Spanning several blocks. What started as a tribute to Hampden’s The G-Spot, grew immensely since the festival’s first year.

I’ve been living on my own since I was like 14 years old, so it ain’t shit. There was no saying if I could get it or not. I’ve been inked out — I got that on my face actually when I was 16. I’ve had all those tats on me already. I had a […]
