Meet Artist John Costin

John Costin is a world-famous artist. His art works are in the Tampa International Airport and many other famous building and institutions around the world. He has been featured many times on England’s BBC. All his art starts with a very old process of etching on copper. Then dusted with charcoal dust and transferred to paper. Then John spends many hours adding color. The results are specular. For the 1st time in 11years, John and his wife opened up their Gary-Ybor Studio to the public.  

John’s at studio is located in the oldest building in Gary and could easily be the oldest in all of Ybor City.

Not Your Grandmother’s Hallmark Christmas Movie!

Finally, a Holiday movie for adults! “Black Doves” lives up to and surpasses the hype.  Why is it that European films, have no problem making characters LGBTQ? This film is a classic example of this.
