Various Creative is a print project conceived as a platform for creative individuals to share their work.
I know what you're thinking: the Internet is platform enough for creative people to share their stuff. While the Internet does provide a lot of access and opportunity, it's (unfortunately) more often than not used as a tool for shameless self-promotion via multiple social networks. Various Creative, then, responds to a need for a more serious creative space.
The second issue, 'Various: TWO,' invited contributors to interpret a single Leonard Cohen quote within their artistic medium. The quote, which reads, "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in," was a catalyst to get the artist's creative juices flowing. The concept was intended to be as flexible as possible, opening up the floor to multiple interpretations on the dichotomy between darkness and light.
