Ashley Suppa has been singing and playing rock and roll since her guitarist dad helped set her up as a background singer for Ace Frehley’s 2009 solo album Anomaly. She was six when she did that gig and she hasn’t looked back!
City and state government officials and veterans took turns giving speeches honoring veterans—their words at times lost to the meek microphone battling valiantly with the wind and construction— to a modestly sizable crowd.

A local priest offered a prayer to open the ceremony and a benediction to close.

Dropped off at an abandoned baseball clubhouse on a scorching hot day clueless on what to do and where to go. Cigarette butts and trash littering the potential beauty this place can offer.

At some point during her recent week-long summer camp program at NH Audubon, Little Bean had mastered the art of the back bend move. That’s the gymnastic move where you bend over backward, down to your hands and flip your whole body back.
Thanks to some finagling, phone calls and emails sent to the proper places, Manchester Ink Link Kid Reporter Little Bean landed a back stage tour of Cirque du Soleil’s latest show at SNHU Arena.

As we near the end of our project, I feel excited. I can’t wait to see our mural finished, but I know this journey is coming to an end. I will treasure the lessons I have learned, and the memories we have created together as teammates. This internship has been more than just a job. This journey hasn’t been easy, especially with the hot weather, rainy days and cold days. We did a lot of things to get where we are today.

Neon lights soaked into the pores of strikingly tall models like gamma beams from a 1950s pulp novel, carrying looks down the runway to the beat of pounding house music. While this may sound like a vignette from some hidden underbelly of New York Fashion Week, you might be surprised to discover such vogue emerging within the New Hampshire art scene. Last weekend’s Obscure fashion show, hosted by Nashua’s community art-centric nonprofit Positive Street Art, brought a taste of the high-fashion world to our own backyard through its own perspective.
Now that that article has your attention, my name is Nathaniel and I am a lot of things. I want more opportunities to explore my art and entrepreneurship in the future. I have been spending the last year working with Kimball Jenkins through an artist-in-residence program with Waypoint. It’s been a lot of things. I was able to previously publish an article about Yu-Gi-Oh which was pretty cool. We have just finished a massive 60-foot-across mural and this is an article about the project.
