Unpublished: A Visual Art & Writing Collaborative

I started this project in July, 2014, thinking it would be a simple, little, maybe twenty page booklet, with the work of a few of my favorite local unpublished artists. With the help of social media, word of mouth and old fashioned nagging, I’ve gotten fifteen wonderful artists. The mission of Unpublished was to fuse different points of view, backgrounds, visual art, and writing styles. From cartoon to realism, writing about love to death, the product of all of our work exceeded this goal. Thank you to everyone that’s helped us create this book. Special thanks to my teachers and mentors at school, Dr. Elizabeth Abell and Mr. John Rykaczewski, who answered millions of my annoying questions.
