Life is repetitive, but there’s joy in meditation. My art is a result of me listening to the same songs on repeat while moving paint around as mediation. Sugar Hiccup is an ongoing collection of abstract acrylic paintings and edited multicolored patterns. Instagram: @_hivemind Pages: 29-30 and 39
I craft my art around memories or turning the familiar into something strange. I enjoy working against capitalism, seldom wear my retainer, and water my plants too much. Instagram: @adri.vaca Pages: 09-10 and 19

I like to use my writing to deal with traumatic circumstances, be it my own experiences or those I experienced vicariously, and try to use words to evoke visceral feelings in my readers. When I'm not dwelling on these Super Depressing Things™, I dabble in digital photography and watch way too many art films. Instagram: @patrixforkids Page: 31
