Growing up a big sci-fi buff (Piers Anthony anyone!?) these images reminded me of afternoons spent reading about mystical plants and weird animals.


Growing up a big sci-fi buff (Piers Anthony anyone!?) these images reminded me of afternoons spent reading about mystical plants and weird animals.

Fulvio Di Piazza’s whimsical paintings depict rivers running through sunny nature-scapes, forests populated with wildlife and lush green woods that stretch far beyond the horizon. With extraordinary detail and depth, the fantasy realm of the artist’s saturated woodland scenes are revealed through his imaginative anthropomorphized plant life as distinct faces emerge from unsuspected hills, rocks and tree trunks, sprouting limbs rather than branches. – Jonathan LeVine Gallery

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is. Catch me at @majormajor____
