RVA No. 12: Marcus Hyde
Looking at Marcus Hyde’s photos, I can’t help but wonder what led the man who started out shooting rocks and trees for his high school darkroom class into the realm of fashion photography. Despite its association with fashion, much of his work, in my opinion, has enough artistic merit to stand alone as portraiture. A number of his photos are startlingly erotic but far too too edgy for the likes of a Victoria’s Secret catalogue. The feminine form in its most statuesque incarnations reigns supreme.

RVA Magazine's Weekend Preview 4/5-4/7
It's the first weekend in April, and despite the warm days and sunny skies ahead, it looks like we're in for a weekend of extreme brutality, between the crushing dubstep that is Excision on Friday, a smaller metal show at Wonderland on Saturday, and the black metal assault that is Absu on Sunday.
RVA No. 12: Charles Berger
Charles Berger is a tattoo artist who plies his trade at Heroes and Ghosts in Carytown. We’ve known Charles for some time, and watched his talent grow immensely over the past few years. His work was featured in the Valentine Richmond History Center’s recent exhibition, History, Ink: The Tattoo Archive Project. This project featured the tattoos of current Richmond VA residents, and documented the importance of tattoo art in the artistic culture of RVA as we know it today. We caught up with Charles to talk about a number of things, from tattooing in Richmond to Victorian Futurism.
Radio Rubber Room At The Republic: A Drumless Evening
Last Wednesday night at the Republic, Radio Rubber Room presented The Last Call Gospel Choir and The Green Boys. Your usual trusted author of these weekly articles, Dan Mulrooney, was unfortunately and abruptly called down to North Carolina for a top-secret classified colonoscopy mission that he told me not to tell anybody about. Butt experts abound in NC I guess.
