Crux of it

2009-09-29T06:16:00.000-07:00

At the moment I am also contributing content to Cruxof.it blog. Here's a wee description of Crux from co-founders Jamie and Neil:

CRUX is a growing platform to showcase and support creative work of all forms, from across Scotland as well as highlight exciting things we see internationally. No restrictions on content, only quality.
Eventually we hope to produce a physical publication once or twice a year, we think it's important to make the effort to create something special, tangible and tactile, not just webbased. We aim to build a community of creative professionals making and doing interesting things around the world to contribute to the site – in effect, an editorial staff.
We are also working on some artist features and events listings as well as planning some physical events and exhibitions.

For now, I have started a blog for an exhibition that I am putting on called Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja. Go to it here to have a look.
