Jordan Manzanares (@manzandesigns on socials) is a designer who had his humble beginnings in playing with legos and deconstructing electronics around the house. Fast forward to the 2020: Jordan used his stimulus money to buy a 3d printer. Him and his brother decided that attempting to print nerf guns would be the perfect thing to cure their boredom during lockdown. Once finished, he posted his first creation on Reddit. To his surprise people LOVED the blaster and not only that; he found that there are many hobbyists and designers that enjoy creating and using high powered nerf guns (blasters) as well. His first design was ranked 6th in firepower and one of the most durable blasters ever created. He continues to innovate and dream up new blasters and sells them on his Etsy @manzandesigns

Sara Birns, plainly put, oil paints figures that make the viewer uncomfortable. Her figures are often an exaggerated versions of reality with the ugly sides of humans and animals alike. Yet, there is something so refreshingly human about being exposed to and confronting these normally over-looked sides of life in such a beautiful, detailed oil painting. Sara  talks her past gallery shows that span from online to Italy, her mentors, the paranormal, John C. Lilly, the importance of surrounding yourself with what you love, and the next steps in her career.
