Tuesday, December 9, 2014 11:01 — 0 Comments
I continue to be interested in what other people think about the movie Interstellar – how did they process the film, the scientific data and facts presented, how did people appreciate, or not, the narrative? You can check out this interview we posted with a Stanford lecturer about the movie. To keep the conversation going, I reached out to Sarah Ballard, who, among other accomplishments, has discovered four planets before the age of 30. I asked Sarah One Super Important Question.

Marc J. Palm is one of the many talented comic artists in Seattle. He also has a special place in my heart because he’s been working on a secret Monarch project. In the mean time, I wanted to talk with Marc about Intruder Comics, a Seattle-based “party zone” that puts out a free, quarterly, co-op, comics newspaper. Intruder began in March of 2012 and consists of 16 Seattle-based, “darkly comedic cartoonists,” according to their Facebook page.Â

Jason Parker’s “Homegrown”
Monday, November 24, 2014 12:33 — 0 Comments
We at The Monarch love this concept: bringing a group of Seattle musicians together to celebrate jazz, music, and the Seattle scene. Jason Parker is one of the best at this – he is a galvanizer of talent, which is one of the best artistic qualities someone can have, in my humble opinion. Jason writes, “The Seattle jazz scene is bursting with talent and is a true hidden gem of the jazz world. Seattlites know how special it is, but word is only now starting to get out to the rest of the world. I decided to shine a spotlight […]
