Pacific Aggression with Shaun Scott
Monday, August 19, 2013 21:58 — 0 Comments
Shaun Scott is a Seattle-based director and writer. I got a chance to see him work, arranging the lighting, the sound, the camera angles, for his new film Pacific Aggression at Grand Illusions Cinema in July. Scott is an avid sports fan and walks about town as one of the most dapper fellows in the city. He is tall, articulate and open to conversations about art, music and libations. His new film focuses on two people separated by a continent though who find themselves meandering closer to each other by the day. The Monarch Review had a chance to chat […]

Todd Jannausch is a Seattle artist and craftsman with one of the best coifs in the city. He recently put together two detailed projects: “Gallery 206†and “Small Voidsâ€. Gallery 206, a re-appropriated phone booth showing off the work of 206 Seattle artists (206 is the Seattle area code), went up about two years ago in downtown Seattle. Small Voids, a show featuring 100 individual pieces, which he mounted and displayed along the streets of three cities: Portland, Oakland and Seattle, hung earlier this year. The Monarch Review had the chance to chat with Todd about his work:Â

In Seattle, Ryan Henry Ward seems to be everywhere. His murals, which feature mythical figures, animals and frolicking creatures, are on the sides of buildings, garage doors, sidewalks – they’re all over! His style is positive, wondrous and smile-inducing. We had the chance to chat with the artist about his work, process and hope for the future.

A shadowy figure hovers and moves through a space piled high with boxes, perhaps lingering between the reality of loss and the recovery of a world that exists in unearthed memories, encountering treasures and stories of a time before illness had temporarily blurred the triumphs of his Father’s youth. We feel both the solitude and necessity of his search.
An Afternoon With World Famous – Ashley Campbell

It’s 10:54 AM, I grip my cup of coffee and mentally prepare myself. I feel pretty good, despite the flutter in my stomach. Just nerves. I’m about to enter a world where my own confidence escapes me. A place I have a high level of respect for and draw inspiration from.

We are followed in life by memory. It’s the bags we travel with. Good or bad we label and tag them, attach them to our path and drag them with us as we walk, trudge, stroll and fly through life. We depend on these carefully packaged items to form a picture of ourselves. But, what if this precious cargo was lost, not by intent but by the airlines of neurons that we depend on to ship, carry and move us to our connecting flights, forced by time and age. Kelly’s work is almost overtly subjective. It is like the ambience […]

I’m sitting at a local coffee shop, tall soy latte on my right and iPhone in hand; here goes my typical internet skaadoodling on Facebook and Instagram. I guess you can call me a “Grammer” or “Instathusiast”. Either way, we are on a first name basis. Every once in awhile something catches my eye that deserves further investigation. That’s how I stumbled upon Mr. Jacob Rosen. For those of you unaware, Rosen is a cinematographer from Seattle, WA. His eye is something I find both intriguing and unique. At the young age of 23, he has made cinematography his full-time. […]

I watched a group of pigeons fly today. Watched them swoop to the left on a short-lived voyage, interrupted by a right moving momentum. I watched them glide through the air, carried by the wind, before rerouting themselves to the left they’d just seen.
