Feature of the Month: Bitter:Sweet

Life in the 21st century is fast, tough, and will leave you in the dust if you don't keep up. All in the name of progress and efficiency. But for what purpose, and to what end? With a society enraptured with consumption and intent on perfection, our lives have become nothing more than an exercise in vanity. Oh, it's been cold in Toronto, but not because of the weather. Read part one of 21st Century Living. |

Oh Snaaap!, Andrew's quarterly comic strip, is finally back with Number Four. Birthday dinners with friends are always a rollicking good time.

JXM's 1 Year Anniversary!
|
|
We've made it. When we started Jaded Expressions Magazine, we weren't quite sure how long it would last. Of course we had high expectations and high ambitions. But as with everything, it's how we dealt with the obstacles that predicted the outcome of our success. It's been an uphill battle to say the least, but it's safe to say we made it past every obstacle in our first year. And we had a blast along the way. We've met tons of people, completed great projects, are in the middle of some very exciting ones, and have amazing plans for the coming year. For everyone that's stuck with us for this long, we'd like to say thank you. We truly appreciate every single person that takes even a minute to visit our magazine. So talk to your friends. Tell them about us. Send us your comments and feedback. You're as much a part of this magazine as we are. We urge you to visit us regularly. If we have one promise to you, it is that we'll always give you something different and we'll always be honest. And that has always been our aim. To escape the mundane and to shed light on the truth. Because that's what art is all about. |
