Isolation Drills #211-220

Summer is around the corner. Summer 2021…. I have been working on this project since April 2020. It is nearing its completion with a bittersweet taste in the air. Connecting with Philadelphia-area artists has been an honor, but it is time for art to return to the pre-COVID state of existence. Can a true return happen, or will it be something new? Time will tell. This project where Philadelphia-area musical acts have had their portraits and artist statements published on MAGNET Magazine as part of the Isolation Drills series has hit its 220th “drill.” The published #s 21-211-220 are George Korein, Nicole June, Chris Malinowski, Grace Vonderkuhn, Matt Weed, The Vaughns, Fried Monk x beautiful-fortune, Danielle Johnson, Josh Machiz and Kyle Pulley. I snap the portraits while the words are directly from the artists. Visit my pages on my website here and here to see galleries of all artists and visit MAGNET Magazine here to read each one here. 


Isolation Drills #201-210

May 2021 is nearly here. Time finally feels like it again has 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. But we are stuck in a COVID haze, rattling the cages to open the world to a scale of the before times. As we get closer, the connective tissue that Isolation Drills has created among Philadelphia-area musicians seems as important as ever. This project where Philadelphia-area musical acts have had their portraits and artist statements published on MAGNET Magazine as part of the Isolation Drills series has hit its 210th “drill.” The published #s 201-210 are Niyonu, Fl!p, Grand Mantis, Coleman Rigg, Spirit of the Beehive, Another Michael, Gabe Preston, Jello Vibes, Larlene and Settled Arrows. I snap the portraits while the words are directly from the artists. Visit my pages on my website here and here to see galleries of all artists and visit MAGNET Magazine here to read each one here. 


Isolation Drills #191-200

200 as a number has a weight, especially here in Philadelphia. To reach this milestone is eery, but in the middle of a change in time from winter to spring there is much hope on the horizon. It has been nearly a year since this project began, a project where Philadelphia-area musical acts have had their portraits and artist statements published on MAGNET Magazine as part of the Isolation Drills series. These brilliant artists have spoken about what it means to be a musician right now during the pandemic. The published #s 191-200 are Olivia Rubini, Soraia, Ang Bocca, Jared Feinman, Jane Carver, DECOUPLR, The Mary Veils, Tim Weaver, Katie Barbato and  Ron Gallo. I snap the portraits while the words are directly from the artists. Visit my pages on my website here and here to see galleries of all artists and visit MAGNET Magazine here to read each one here.
