It’s a cold and rainy night in December. I just left work and I’m stuck in gridlock traffic in Belltown. It’s atypical of me to be going out on the town on a Wednesday night.

The Big Apple is Mecca for artists. It’s where the action happens. It’s the destination. At least that’s what New Yorkers think, and a lot of artists gazing east. Visual artist Robin Crookall moved from Seattle to New York this fall to pursue an MFA at NYU. We published a few of her pieces in our print edition, Monarch 2, and I’ve been a fan since.
