AU Magazine Issue 3

LETTER FROM THE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Dear Artists Unknown,
In my many travels toggling between New York and Boston, I always plug in my earphones and
stare at the passing streetlights as the bus half speeds half bounces down the highway. Out the
window, the lamps were like flower buds in the form of cascading spotlights. They shook with the
movement of the vehicle, each bulb of light a smaller and more opaque reflection of the one above
it. I began to wonder if it was my astigmatism (terrible eyesight) that was making me see these extra
lights. If I took a photo, would the print look the same as what my eyes were picking up? Will
someone else see the same thing I was seeing?
This issue of Artists Unknown, we have collated our biggest issue yet, just in time for the Christmas
season! We brought more diversity, sassy but fabulous artists, and an overload of ideas. I had the
pleasure of reading through this issue’s unique stories and understanding the process behind each
submission. A commonality I feel with the featured artists is being able to use a limited amount of
resources to make something awesome. The creation of illusions with the help of color, appliqués
and strategic photography has added an extra coat of exquisiteness on many of the editorials found
here. With that being said, please enjoy our third issue!
Do what you love,
CindyChen
