 Sam Jacobs, AES class of 1995
Lipstik Everything Is Good
Lipstik began in the head of Sam Jacobs while sitting ensconced in a cubicle surrounded by the dull glare of corporate drudgery. He hatched a plan for a secret life, replete with all the old rock and roll cliches. Fortunately, he had access to a group of budding, talented young musicians, all of whom were engaged in other projects at the time around New York. Read more about Lipstik from Sam Jacobs.

Rupak Roy rupakroy11@yahoo.co.uk
writes, "The Indian artist Rupak Roy has been down and out in New York, New Delhi, Bombay, Boston and countless other way stations between this world and the next. He has spent many years learning how to paint—and perhaps just as many unlearning those preconceptions that shackle the artistic imagination. Today Roy lives in a remote valley in one of the few remaining tropical forests in South India, where he has built a studio perfectly aligned to the light of the Nilgiri hills." Read more of his life story and see - and purchase - his paintings.
Joe Ridofo, AIS class of 1969
