a letter to our readers:

Happy Summer and thank you for sticking with us!

Special thanks to Ashley, April, Brandon,

Moon Cadillac, & Brian

Considering the busy and typical life stresses of the KAB collective, we decided
to do our zine, seasonally. Which would be way awesome, because well have better content that is more meaningful. (ie: actually maybe offensive, funny, scary,
weird, things you wont understand because it might be too avant-garde, but its
okay..this is an art read) :P .
As youll notice from our last two (AND ONLY) zines, there is growth and a
whole new thinking approach.
We decided to run this zine and opening it to anyone who wants to submit work
through our Facebook group (its secret ) please send us your work or your
interest to:
[email protected]
Check us out on:
kamikazeartbomb.tumblr.com
We are now an online comunity of artists and writers that collaborate into one
publication. Hurray for us!

Artist Statement from:

MATTHEW
FLORIANI

The aesthetics of my arts deflect the imagery of

individuals hiding behind who they are and where
they come from. In my work, I deconstruct people
on the streets in which we conceive as insignificant
to our lives. Masks, face coverings, and despondent glares are portrayed to represent these aesthetics as well as the way we look at the public as
objects rather than human beings.
The usage of patterns depicts old and rather
tattered clothing, which creates a balance of
melancholy and poverty, such as my use of
newspaper illustrating filth on the street and the
poor. Most of the newspaper articles that I work
with are from the funny pages, as an ironic look
at societies paucity.
I currently work with acrylic paints, ink, spray paints, stencils, wheat pastes,
screen prints, mixed media, signs, and wood. These mediums and matrices display more rustic, meager, and stylistically approachable works of art,
which illustrates symbolism of the street.
