I’ve never attempted such an art piece. I’m fluent in photoshop, but use it more in a graphic design sort of way. Now the point of this is, if you put your mind to something you can accomplish anything. “Ye are gods,” Psalm 82. Meaning we have power to create and do anything. “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,“ Matthew 6:22 I try to live my life like this and run this magazine in the same light, that and, “Go Big or Go Home.” This is the reason Renda and I have made it as far as we have. We got an idea, did some research, and just went for it. Same with the picture. Just did it. Never looked back. Focus on what you want and make it happen. Yes, lots of hard work and losing friends will be involved in your success, but everything comes at a cost. Even when you pray, energy you don’t want to hear you, does. Always the Yin Yang. Always be prepared for Murphy’s Law. It wasn’t coined a phrase for nothing. Taking each day one at a time, helps to understand the true nature of this industry. It takes alot of effort and suffering to accomplish a 64 pg magazine. Next issue we’re gonna do 80 pgs. Gotta stick to your mottos. - Cheers, Dwayne <strong>WeMerge</strong> Celebrity Supporters Celebrity <strong>WeMerge</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> readers (L-R): Ron English, contemporary pop artist; Ricky Williams, Miami Dolphins football player; Steve-O, comedian, stuntman, jackass. <strong>WeMerge</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> President Creative Director Dwayne Adams info@wemerge.com Vice President Chief Editor Renda Writer editor@wemerge.com Contributing Writers: Brian Breslaw, David Citron, Ashley Lombardo, Matt Beck, Seth Schere, Mickey Steinberg, Kyle Willis, Elon Meles, Rocksire, Richard Foshee Graphic Designers: Craig McInnis, Rob Smith, Invi Art Promotions: Luis Portacio Official <strong>WeMerge</strong> DJ: DJ Stevie D Cover Art: Marc Paper Scissor (MarcPaperScissor.com) Proofreader: Bethany Lee Auchter Webmaster: Brian Dillingham (Brian@<strong>WeMerge</strong>.com) Research: Michele Barenfeld, Nicole Esposito Videography: LeafHouseProductions.com <strong>WeMerge</strong> Venues: Kevro’s Art Bar, Stage 84 Copyright©2011-12 <strong>WeMerge</strong>, Inc.
