FURIOUS
PURE
MAGAZINE
"Artists are consumed by a furious, pure desire to shape dreams and shatter perceptions of reality."
― DH Dowling
Furious Pure is born out of a deep affinity for artists. I grew-up around them, watching them work and working with them, and have been friends with painters, poets, photographers, sculptors, musicians, filmmakers and novelists all my life.
Every artist's creative process is unique. They grapple with the courage to create. Artists are original thinkers. Innovators. Radical individuals. Different drummers. Beautiful lunatics. They are very special people to me. This magazine is a reflection of my love and admiration for them.
Each issue of the magazine will be highly eclectic. I strive for a precarious balance of creative styles that thrills the mind.
Becoming an artist is a powerful and mysterious life choice. Artists often choose this path because they are consumed by a furious, pure desire to shape dreams and shatter perceptions of reality. Art is a secret buried in the dark. We drag it from shadows to disturb the peace.
Thank you for your interest in Furious Pure Magazine.
