ArtVolume 113“ Midnight at the tombs. Midnight in my soul. Midnight at the street corner. The toll given is the same. Like a ghost, unseen. Forgotten, unheard. Is it better to be unseen and loved? Is it better to be seen and loathed?Is it better to consume and consume again? A ghost that offers nothing, can it be seen? To be a ghost and have nothing left to be taken, Such a lovely dream that would be. “

ArtVolume 115ConTribuTorsVisual artist, Shane Allison, was bitten by the writing bug at the age of fourteen. He spent a majority of his high school life shy-ing away in the library behind desk cubicles writing bad love poems about boys he had crushes on (including one substitute teacher.) He has since gone on to publish seven chapbook collections with titles like Ceiling of Mirrors, I Want to Fuck a Redneck, Cock and Balls, I Want to Eat Chinese Food Off Your Ass, Remembered Men and Black Fag. His two notable collections include I Remember (Future Tense Books,) and Slut Machine (Queer Mojo Press.) Shane’s poems and short stories have graced the pages of online joints, and a plethora of antholo-gies. He has edited over a dozen erotic anthologies. His longer sto-ries have been published by JMS Books and Resplendence. His first novel, You’re The One I Want is out from Strebor Books, as well as his sophomore novel, Harm Done. His new collection, Live Nude Guys is out from Gimmick Press.Marc Nicholas Bolivar is currently a BFA painting student at the University of Houston. He is interested in exploring mediums such as printmaking, drawing, painting and 2D design. His work aims to re-flect obsession, perfection, and perspective.Aleksandra Korinnaja is a Sydney based digital artist. Her body of work is comprised of concept art pieces of supernatural and esoteric themes and imagery. Through the application of fine art techniques, Korinnaja seeks to marry the organic look of traditional art with the decorative nature of digital illustration. “One Rainy Night” is an environment piece inspired by Japanese folklore and Serge Lutens’ photography. The composition entails a night on which spirits roam freely among the empty streets, with some travelling from far and wide to meet at a shrine and others looking for an opportunity to cause havoc. Rachel McWhirter graduated from SCAD with a BA in Digital Media. She is a queer artist that enjoys local food & coffee, volunteering, street art, urban hiking, and general adventuring. She currently re-sides and creates in Montrose, HTX. You can reach her through Insta: rachel_mcwhirter

Defunkt Magazine16Michael O’Dwyer is a photographer/film maker currently based out of Houston Texas. While living in South Korea he fell in love with the underground music scene and began to compulsively document it with photographs and video. The “Bleeding Kimchi: Director’s Reel” vid-eo and related podcast and photobook: “Bleeding Kimchi: Soju, Metal, Korea” is a collection of portraits of Korean musicians and people related to the scene. To give an insight of the extreme rebels that thrive in a very conservative and traditional society. Whether it’s street photography in Texas or portraits of marginalized musicians the goal is to capture people as they express themselves, without reference to outside opinions or ideologies. He has been described as a child dude that is dedicated to both his work and serving his muse, The Void. K.B. Solomon, the world of art captured her mind and soul when she was a child. She was born in the sixties – the decade of free love, a tumultuous time of revolution within politics, the civil rights move-ment and the race to space. She was raised surrounded with love by her mother and grandmother within the Houston city limits and spent many summers in the rural areas of East Texas, Louisiana and Missis-sippi with family members. She enjoyed all of nature’s raw splendor in the countryside and Gulf Coast and thrived in the diversity of going to school in the city. Her passion blossomed when she received her first camera. She finally had a way of showing (telling) a story that is written with a picture. Her work has focused on people, life events, nature, and street art. She is fascinated by our ever-chang-ing culture and our rich past which is seen through architecture, negligence, and gentrification. She thoroughly enjoys capturing the quirkiness, beauty and innocence, and sometimes simple raw emotion of a moment in order to bring joy, laughter and awareness to people.Jimena Vilchis is an artist from the great Mexico who has ventured to live where the grass is greenest. She misses the other side, but found a perfect home in Katy. Her cookiecut house is bordered by a white picket fence, with the flowers kept always in blossom. The birds sing at night to her, and the skies always seem to be clear (unless they aren’t at all). She is inspired by her environment and pictures the flora and fauna from inside and outside.
