Danny Martin
Danny Martin was born and raised in Chilton County, Alabama, just south of Birmingham. He recieved his B.F.A. from the University of Montevallo and his M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. When not producing artwork, he listens to a lot of classic rock, because there aren’t a lot of choices when you grow up in Alabama…and drive a car that has a radio with no tape deck or cd player…and there are only classic rock or 90s-up era country stations. He feels that the choice between Thin Lizzy and Toby Keith is not an overly difficult one.

Johnny Miles
Johnny Miles favorite food is veggie Benedict and his favorite album is Unknown Pleasures. He lives in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood of Chicago, right across from that polish deli with all the grammatical errors on the sign, where it says ‘Mitch’s and Janina Deli’ instead of ‘Mitch and Janina’s Deli’ which is a pretty flagrant oversight, if you ask him. He is a Capricorn.

Rae Strozzo
“it’s she but the s is silent”
TC Tolbert, Territories of Folding
My work comes from a very personal place. It is about growing up a southern girl and becoming a man in the west. My transgendered life doesn’t just revolve around issues of gender identity and body, but of family, connection, and truth. The paintings, drawings and photographs touch on all of these and wrestle with the notions of attachment and disconnect, revealing and privacy, hope and regret.
Rae Strozzo is a transgendered artist and writer. He received his B.A. in and philosophy from Georgia Southern University in 1997. He graduated with an M.F.A in photography from the University of Arizona in May 2008. He is currently an adjunct instructor of photography at Pima Community College and a freelance graphic designer.
