For those of you who know ONC this wont come as a surprise.
OhNo Camille was founded about 4 years ago. At the time it was an outlet for me to explore my own work-
but this isnt about me...
ONC is starting a magazine. Yes i know, it is very exciting!!!!!!!! Seeing as what Camille does best is bring people together, she decided to do just that.
The first Issue of ONC Magazine is due February 1st and in celebration of such news we are also planning a kickoff show for the 1st week of February. The show will include a number of artists exposing their work as well as some live music and a short film or two. The venue and exact date will be announced shortly.
So if youre a poet, a playwrite, a painter, are into film, animation, photography or anything that can be even remotely considered a sensible artform, please email me some of your work by November 25th. If you know of anyone who may be interested, please feel free to fwd them this email and encourage your friends and fellow artists to participate!
The magazine nor the show will expose local artists exlusively. This is a show based on the idea that it is hard to get exposure regardless of where you live. So if you have a friend in Berlin, Paris, Shanghai, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Sydney, or anywhere else, let them know and we will try our hardest to recognize as many artists as we can!
The kick off show will explore only some of the work published in the first issue but it certainly will not be the only event ONC will host.
With much love and enthusiasm as always-
JP and Camille

As far as I'm Concerned...
There are some things , as I've stated previously, that we should just buy. But then with the market crashing and the lack of jobs available in the States and elsewhere, i find that that statement no longer holds true. If you want it you gotta get it yourself, and if you want it and its expensive or seems like a waste of money, make it yourself.
If the Market blows up big time, and the world crumbles as we are all nervously expecting, you are all going to come running to people like me wondering if i could spend a few hours making this or that. Craft, my good friends, is a simple word for genius. If you are able, make it yourself.
Although material still costs money, i am thankful to people who still choose to go out for dinner or spend a drunken night at the bar for because of them most of us can still spend those late hours busing tables, or taking down orders- its not a lot of money, but for most in the field, it pays the rent.
I have made it my duty as your citizen to work on the little luxuries we will crave regardless of the banks, the stock market, and on smaller terms our declining bank accounts- regardless of all the cynics speculating why it is i spend so many hours working laboriously at my desk on things that would be much simpler, and true, sometimes even better, bought in a store. As my craft gets wiser, and my hands more skillful and quicker, you are all worrying about how you will manage to buy the toys your kids crave so desperately or the dress you wish you had to wear to your friends wedding. No matter what depression comes our way these things, luxuries, will remain precious and loved. Remember the 20's? ... think of us as 1928...
And if you simply do not have the time, insist that one of your single friends go to a tech school or pick up a few do-it-yourself handbooks at the library.
With much love and a slight "maybe i saw this coming?" grin-
