Eryka Writes:

The moon was full and the bright orange tonight in Venice Beach, CA. There was something so magical about it and it effected everyone I was with. There was something of an unconscious celebration going on. Even with the party relocation from the newly shut down to the transplant Stronghold the live music, drinking, new friends, old friends, laughter, and dancing found a way to exist. Sharing experience in this seemingly heightened state of play could easily become a ritual and one that I would happily participate in on a regular basis!

The creation of this issue has led to this moment. I am sorrounded by the ones I adore most. As issue four has been finalized in the summer months and phrases like “Venice Snob” seem to actually have meaning I am grateful for the process of creation more than ever. My fellow creatives and I are somewhat a tribe of our own and I really didn’t see that until after working on this Tribal inspired Desire and Obsession issue. Put together out of love for the art and true inspiration there are moment from of reveal, self assurance, togetherness, confidence, arrogance, tension, restraint, obsession, peace, perseverance, and exploration. All of this wildness builds into what I am proud to reflect on as the best issue of Collective magazine yet.

Read & Enjoy,

Eryka . aka Your Venice Snob
