    A Window Between Worlds is one of those rare organizations that works to help a cause as well as enhance the aesthetic value of the world. In helping battered women and children express themselves through creative means, A Window Between the Worlds hopes to provide them with a sense of power and to make domestic violence a thing of the past.  The creations made by these people serve as a means for public education about domestic violence as a whole, thus creating the name of the organization as a window into the lives of these strong survivors.

    I have long wanted to write about B.Feddern's amazing ability to paint the most poignant paintings of birds you have ever seen! They almost have a texture of woodgrain, etched in oil paint of a classic bold, earthy palette. His father is an avid birder you see, nay- a devout expert in his field. Bryan, therefore grew up studying the heads of regal birds of prey and noble songsters of the sky.

    His paintings are quite lovely and fellow Seattleites and artists find them quite attractive, like Sera Cahoone an indie songstress who graced her latest album, Only As The Day Is Long on Sub Pop records with it. Super mellow, pretty American stuff.  http://www.myspace.com/seracahoone

    Naturally, his art is beloved of more than rockstaresses. Tune into B.Feddern if you want to know more about his wild side, all over canvas, potentially in your bedroom. Caw!

    Subway-5: by Raphael SassiSubway-5: by Raphael SassiPen and paper to some people is something so entirely different than it is to others, it is a gateway, especially when you are a portraiture genius like Raphael Sassi. Living in Brooklyn, NY drawing in his studio and teaching classes in anatomical drawing at the Pratt institue and currently, School of Visual Arts, he keeps a full schedule and continues to show his own, original work.

    Unique portraiture, all done in pen and ink, acetone and lots of talent. Insight, thoughtfulness. The drawings are quite good, and consequently, Raphael Sassi is a dead ringer for Vince Vaughn. I'm not joking! He gets stopped all the time! Check him out!

    Nice work!
