In Memorium: Marvin Hill, 1952-2003

MarvinHill1991.jpg

by Mark Lawson

Perhaps no other artist has been so closely identified with the Riverwest community as printmaker Marvin Hill. Marvin passed away on December 2 after a five-year battle with lymphoma. His graphics for Artwalk posters, T-shirts, and pins throughout the 1990s gave the event a highly recognizable style with a humorous, down-home character. A prodigious artist who often sketched even while eating in a restaurant or working at one of the countless art fairs he participated in with his wife Wendy, he produced hundreds of different prints in his lifetime.

Industrial Food

by Vince Bushell

Where our food comes from and how it is produced is becoming a serious concern for consumers aware of some questionable practices in the agricultural industry. Not all practices within the industry are necessarily bad, but often the choices made by the producers are related more to profit than to taste or health. You do not have to be a vegetarian to be concerned about the treatment of animals bred and raised as food. Many of us are concerned about the use of chemicals to ripen fruit or kill pests.
