I need to hire some *Philadelphia* artists!
I'm looking for a couple POC artist/illustrators to work with me on a science education project. The caveat is that they have to live in a River Ward district(Kenzo, Fishtown, Port Richmond, etc) because of who's funding this work. Anyone interested can email me some examples of their work (an instagram or website works) at SkypeAScientist at gmail dot com. This project will be focusing on animals that live along the NJ coast. We can offer $500 to illustrate the front of a coaster, depicting either a cownose ray or ctenophore, dealers choice.
Tumblr media
There will be 3 designs total. The unifying design that will be on all the coasters (above) was created by @seanmartorana. These coasters will be distributed to bars throughout the river wards in the summer of 2023! The artists name or handle/logo/etc will go on the back, and we'll post about this project on social media repeatedly, always tagging the artists!
Please pass along to any Philadelphia artists. I'm going to have some other projects coming up soon that we'll need artists for too. Ideally also in the river wards but those are a little less stringent depending on funding source.
(For anyone who is not an artist, the hotline already works, feel free to play with it)

The good and the great of printPHILLY! 2023.
Tumblr media
Yesterday I decided to check out PrintPHILLY! 2023, a print fair hosted by the Philadelphia Print Consortium. Here are some of my favorite works by artists exhibiting during the fair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kate Flake
Kate Flakes print and book practice show off some of their technical expertise of mono-printing. I absolutely loved seeing this work and spending time talking with Kate. Their practice is rooted in play and pattern making - a framework for sophisticated ways of dealing with anxiety and situation understanding.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bryn Ziegler
Bryn is a current candidate at UArts Book+Print MFA program. She is interested in telling stories related to queerness, mental health, and traveling. Brynn's work shows her technical expertise in the book format, with projects arranging in so many different mediums and processes. I look forward to seeing more of her work and exploring her comic practice as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who Press'd Press
Who Press'd Press is a risograph and print ephemera publishing project located within Philadelphia. Aside from their juicy color palette, they had tons of fun books and projects for sale. My favorite work of theirs, being the "Fishtown F*ck Boi" mask. On their website there is a warning on this product claiming that "This product may cause manipulative behavior, poor manners, gaslighting, and increase the likelihood of being cancelled. Please wear at your own risk. This cigarette is NOT for smoking, just for looking cool."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maisie O'Brien
I CANNOT stop thinking about these lithographs that Maisie created. They are absolutely stunning. Maisie is also a shadow puppeteer, that I learned through their website. They are interested in exploring the shadows of objects and things, and using that as a means for building language around truth and identity of entities. Please check out Maisie's website for more of their work.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oliver Stern
Oliver showed off a wide range of prints and editions ranging in technique. Their work deals with the tension and stress between internal and external experiences, often negotiating topics such as dreams, perception, and memory. I love Oliver's incredible range of techniques from linocut to intaglio etchings. This work is incredible and shows mastery and uniqueness in printmaking.

The Ledge #593: New Releases (Pt. 2)
The second part of this month's new release series is admittedly dominated by cover tunes. Great bands such as Superchunk, The Feelies, Cruzados, The Routes, Hayley and the Crushers and the Rick White Archive are featured remaking classics by The Cure, The Minutemen, Buzzcocks, and others. 
But the main focus of the covers blasted on tonight's show is the brand new tribute album to, of course, The Replacements. Let the Bad Times Roll, and it's definitely worth they hype. "December 2022 I was drinking at the Fishtown Tavern and 'Can't Hardly Wait ' came on the jukebox, and at that moment I knew this tribute to the Mats needed to happen," Arik Victor from Creep Records says in a press release. "The next day, we invited all the bands we love."
Of course, tonight's show is more than cover tunes. We have the return of The Alarm, the second 2023 album by bar italia, and wonderful material from the Netherlends, Australia, Italy, and other countries around the world.
As for this week's edition of "52 Weeks of Teenage Kicks", I admittedly discovered a real treat on YouTube. Baby Shakes have routinely performed the tune as an encore, and this live version I discovered a few days ago even includes Billy Doherty and Damian O'Neill from The Undertones! Like I do every week, however, I must again plead with y'all for more versions of "Teenage Kicks". If you are a musician, or have any contact with artists that could record their own take on the classic, please contact me!

“Fuck off.”
CLAYTON BAKER
Age: 35 Gender and pronouns: Male, He/Him Occupation: Owner of Deadly Inks Neighborhood: Fishtown
BIOGRAPHY
Clayton Baker was dealt a bad hand from the day he was born. For the first four years of his life was lived in ignorant bliss until the bubble was popped the day his brother was born. It was not hard to catch onto the fact his parents were completely devoting themselves to him and leaving him in the dark. As the young Baker male got older, the harder the realization hit that he was now marked as the black sheep and tossed aside like yesterday’s news. It began a rebel within him causing the male to act out to get under his parents’ skin and make them notice him since their reputation was something they cherished. After a few nights of getting a little too drunk at a party and the small scolding he would get for it, the male wondered how worth it was to keep trying to get his parents’ attention so after the age of sixteen, Clayton stopped trying so hard to get their focus off his little brother and onto him. Even though his brother was the obvious favorite child, it was never something he held against him in fact he knew when he started to get older that the grip their parents had on him was only going to get tighter and he was going to need someone to have him back when it all blew up.
A four-year difference was all the two Baker children had between them and as soon as his brother was twelve and he was sixteen, Clayton pulled his act together and started doing better in school. He stopped getting a little too drunk at parties and even started to hang out with the right crowd. He decided that he was going to live his life the way he wanted and forget whatever his parents needed to put him on the same level as his little brother. Two more years of high school and the male dedicated himself to enjoying the last of it because he knew the second the diploma touched his hand. It was goodbye Savannah, Georgia and hello Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From the time he could pick up a pencil, Clayton knew his path was going to be formed around the feeling he got whenever he sketched. So, the male kept his promise to himself and the second he walked across the stage and was handed the piece of paper that gave him his freedom. He gave his little brother his phone number, packed his bag and left everything behind for the small town.
At the early age of eighteen and in a town, he knew nothing about, Clayton searched to find a place he would fit into. For the first two years in New York, the male found a job at one of the local bars and bartended. Being behind the bar felt natural for him, the way he was able to talk to anyone and everyone who walked in. The women who would come and flirt with him after having a few too many. It was a huge relief lifted off him, not being under the pressure of being a Baker and for the first time in his life he was grateful for his parents swaying all their attention onto his sister because he was able to live his life the way he wanted. From fling to fling, place to place, job to job, it was a routine Clayton settled into until he was twenty-three when he stumbled into a tattoo parlor with a couple of friends - Spilled Ink. It was a sign, the second his foot crossed the threshold something changed inside of him and he knew in that moment what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So, while they were all getting tattoos, Clayton chatted with the man who was putting on the ink and asked what it took to head down the path of becoming a tattoo artist.
Twenty-three with a tattoo license under his belt and the excitement laid out in front of him. It was easy to fall in love with his job, finding his passion was like finding a light at the end of a dark tunnel something he did not even realize he had been living until the moment he held the needle in his hand and drew out his first tattoo on someone’s skin. Being able to bring to life people’s visions was something Clayton began to search for in every single tattoo he did, wanting to create something unique and original all in one. A few years later around the age of twenty-six was when his life changed in another way when he met a blonde-haired woman who came crashing into world at full speed. One night, the woman came into the tattoo shop and it was as if she filled the missing piece of the puzzle inside of his world. Even after he had finished her tattoo, the two of them talked and he even walked her home that night. All the male knew was this was a night that changed his life and all he had to hope was that it was for the better.
It only took a few weeks before Clayton impulsively bought an engagement ring, yet the male never even attempted to take the step to that level. Three years into the relationship, the two of them were living together and things were perfect. His job at the tattoo shop was just as amazing, the owner had decided he wanted to retire and move to Hawaii. He wanted to give to the parlor to someone who was going to take care of it and have the passion to keep the place standing. The person his owner had picked for that job was Clayton and the male was over the moon that things were going in his favor. The day he signed the business lease, he quickly made his way back to the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, finally having the nerve to pull the ring that had been burning a hole in his pocket for the last few weeks and make her an honest woman. Although, thing changed instantly when he came home to find her in bed with another man and not just any man but his best friend. After that, Clayton buried himself in his job, taking over the tattoo parlor and avoiding any sort of relationship.
CLAYTON BAKER has the face claim of CASEY DEIDRICK and is played by ALYSSA 2.

I’m looking for Chicago and Philly artists who do art of their respective cities!
Skylines, significant locations, landmarks, etc. I have a couple things in mind and I’m hoping to find prints, but I’m willing to commission things as well!
Please DM me if you fit the bill, know someone who does! Or just drop me a link to their shop.
