TRANSCRIPT
What is art? Does art bring you joy?
Or does it send shivers up your spine?
Maybe it makes you uncomfortable;
or maybe it’s the very thing that comforts you.
…Can art be defined?
art. Beauty. sexuality. All explored in this first installment of Blueprint. Thank you to the models,
photographers, stylists, and all of the Maroon Tiger staff who aided me in bringing this
vision to life. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun, and ultimately exceeded expectations,
given the circumstances. This is the first ever fashion magazine to be produced by The
Maroon tiger and i couldn’t be more proud. this is just the beginning of many more
artistic endeavors to come.
- Michael a. Martin

Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
It’s not always about what’s pretty; we also
find beauty in the strange and unordinary.

Fluid and mutable like a stream.
It flows hard and strong. Fast, and then slow.
Gentle and calming.
Unable to be contained, unable to be boxed in by man.
Unable to be defined.
