TOKION’S "THE DISOBEDIENTS" ISSUE
So I was going through old magazines last night after I got back from California and I came across the Tokion Disobedients issue from like 2002.
Beyond being a trip down memory lane of artists who’s work I used to (some of whom I still do) drool over and steal from, it was a nice reminder of the energy and excitement that comes with young people making stuff together.
If sensation was sparked by the work actually in the magazine, or if it was more of a memory of where I was when I got the issue, I can’t say. Either way, it was nice to see 1026 mentioned alongside The Luggage Store, New Image and Alife as a venue that fostered those then young artists.
