Joan Fabian :: artist
www.joanfabian.com
"Fabian's delicately
detailed paintings radiate Middle Eastern influence. She scans fabric
patterns and paints sensual, organic forms in rich jewel tones over
them. The suggestive figures seem to pirouette and quiver on the page,
looking like botehs - the teardrop shapes in paisley patterns - or
figments of Dr. Seuss' imagination.”―Elaine
Wolfe, Art Editor, San Antonio Current
Leland Outz :: photographer
http://users.stic.net/laoutz/
You may know his work from the San
Antonio Express-News. His online portfolio shows a remarkable grasp
of how light, shadow, and color can effictively tell a story. His moody
black-and-white shot of the Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg
Courtney Reid ::
artist
www.courtneyreid.net
The elliptical creatures haunting darkly
imagined landscapes in the large-scale paintings and portraits of this
L.A.-based artist seem to shift and change across multiple viewings. (Her four-panel
painting "Moonraker" is featured on the cover of bassist/composer Joël
Dilley's CDThe Window, and "Strange Fruit" graces the cover of
Bett Butler's Myths & Fables.)

casa chiapas
www.casachiapassa.net
After an all-nighter in the studio, we often crave machacado, the Mexican dish traditionally made with scrambled
eggs and dried beef. We think Casa Chiapas makes the best in town with lean steak grilled medium
rare, jalapeños, tomatoes, and onions. The accompanying refried beans
are soupy, spicy, and heavy with the flavor of smoked bacon. That and a fruit
cup will cure whatever ails you. An added plus: their ambient soundtrack
is KRTU 91.7 fm jazz. Within walking distance of Mandala Music
Production.

Web mag by writers Brooke Palmer and Nicole
Moore and photographer Heather Croxton with art, poetry, culture, and
commentary "cornered on the propagation that we each have these
ideas that kick around inside our minds; words that roll around on the
very tips of our tongues, waiting to be spoken but held in...things that
won't let us rest until we expound upon them, or expel them...."
