jasper socia: yeah. johnny devenanzio: i like that. jasper socia: it was amazing. kyle douglas: i was able to pick up different things that these artists do. like, i normally spray paint and then acrylic paint, then let me try to do what jasper does and do some mixed mediums. and there's a lot of room for error and to try new things and to experiment to really be confident in what it is you want to do, it really relieves a lot of the weight. mara catalnan: you would just come here and you knew that you had a space where you could be free. in a way, it was necessary as a survival tool, showing that you were alive and that your art wasn't dead. samara bliss: out of this came an entire album, a documentary film that's coming out in the fall, a whole book of photography, and then 95 paintings came out of this one month. and all of it is now for sale.
