The Complicated Family Reunion, Cameron Chabot

Bryant University Undergraduate Journal

Plastic has a complicated beginning and an even more complicated future. It is made from substances call polymers and while some can be made from plant cellulose, many now are synthetic polymers made up of petroleum and other fossil fuels. Most fossil fuels are formed from the fossilized, buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago, so it is quite disturbing that they are being used for plastics that get thrown away after one use. This story follows a six pack of bottles (The Cola Family) and their different journeys around the world after being discarded.

Artist Interview - Zach Johnson

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Zach Johnsen is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer, working both in the commercial sphere and fine-art world. He uses graphite, watercolour, pen and ink and acrylic on mostly 2D surfaces and by far his most trusted medium is the Micron pen. He uses them exhaustively to describe an ever-expanding world of ghouls, monsters and misfits — the shady characters in everyday life and how they expose themselves in our world. His work is frenetic and chaotic, an explosion of lines and colour influenced by infomercials, cartoons, sweets and the over-consumption of popular culture. Johnsen has lent his unique style of …
