I’m Natalie and I am the creator & editor of Grae Magazine. I’m very happy with the outcome of our fi rst issue, so thank you to all who have supported Grae. If you’re new to Grae, make sure to check out our talented artists and their take on this world. Read each word with an open mind, lose yourself in our treehouse and free your mind when indulging in our Rorschach Art Gallery.

Many get confused as to what this issue is all about. They assume I’m fi lling this is-sue with anything astrology related. What I wanted to portray is that just like the sign Gemini, we all have two sides to us. Not in the sense of being artifi cial yet simply be-ing human. We subject ourselves to be one person, to live one life and to create one dream. Why not do it all? In my heart, we are all Gemini’s.

photography and words by Natalie zigdon


So, you’re an actor. What got you into acting or made you realize this is what you want to do?

I’ve always had a passion for acting. When we were little, my brothers, my cousins, and I used to make videos of us acting out skits. When I was in high school, I took drama classes and I was in some of the school plays and mu-sicals, but I didn’t take it too seri-ously. After I graduated, I started pursuing acting more seriously. I sent out headshots to different agencies and got an agent when Iwas 18. I had a lot of people around me who thought I was crazy for wanting to become an actor, and I really wanted to prove them wrong. My dad al-ways told me to dream the impos-sible, so that’s what I try to do.

Are there ever days where you just want to give up and think that there’s no point to keep try-ing?

Of course there are times when I feel overwhelmed and want to quit. People think acting is an easy job, but I started from noth-ing and worked my way towhere I am now, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I don’t have a social life. I go to school, drive to LA almost every day for auditions and acting classes, and I squeeze in time in the gym.

If so, what pulls you back up? What pushes you to do your best?

I keep doing it because I love

what I do and God has blessed me so much. I know there are so many people who would do any-thing to be in my shoes.

What appearances have you made?

My most recent work was playing Andrés in ABC’s Off The Map. My experience with that was amaz-ing, I was in Hawaii for a week to film. I’ve also been in Victorious, All My Children, McDonald’s “disfruta” commercial, and an international Sprint ad campaign, among other things.

What advice would you give newly starting out aspiring ac-tors?

The advice I would give to aspir-ing actors would be never give up. No matter how hard it is, just give it all you’ve got. Also, be prepared. You don’t want to make a bad impression on a cast-ing director. You need to know your craft. Take acting classes, do research, and have a killer head-shot.

Do you go to school? If so, how do you balance school, friends, family AND acting?

Yes, I go to school. Most of my classes are online because I don’t have a regular schedule. Some-times it is hard, I usually leave my house early and get home late so I see my family mostly on the weekends. I don’t really go out much and sometimes it is hard to see my friends

because I’m so busy.

A lot of us wonder how people really get parts of movies and commercials, what is the secret to success in this industry?

Having a killer headshot is your ticket into the industry. Keep in mind your headshot is the first thing anyone (like a casting di-rector, agent, or manager)sees before they meet you.

Do you get rejected a lot? If so, what makes you keep trying?

I’ve been rejected hundreds of times. What keeps me going is my passion for acting. I really can’t see myself doing anything else.

Let’s be honest, it’s really hard to become an actor… are you plan-ning on making acting your sole focus? Or do you have a backup plan?

As of now, acting is my priority, but I am going to school to major in Mass Communications. It’s al-ways smart to have a backup plan with anything you do, because you never know what’s going to happen in the future.


A lot of people know you from all the hype of wanting you to play the part of Nahuel in Twilight’s Breaking Dawn. What’s going on with that?

Recently I auditioned for Breaking Dawn. The casting director contacted my agent to say they really liked my audition and they sent my tape to the producers.

As of now, that’s all I know. But I really want to thank all the twilight fans. You guys rock. All those videos you made and articles you wrote really got the attention of the casting director and the producers. I’ve gotten hundreds of emails from fans around the world say-ing they want me to play Nahuel. Even though I can’t respond to all of them, please know it means a lot to me that you took thetime to write to me.

Who is your favorite photographer ;)

I’m really lucky to know a lot of talented photographers. But one of my favorites would have to be you, Natalie Zigdon. We usually get together when we have an awesome concept for a shoot.

Haha, I was just setting you up for that one.

Does your family support your act-ing decisions or do they think it’s not worth it?

My family has always supported me and my decisions. I’m very lucky to know they’re always there for me.

What inspires you?

My dad inspires me because of all of his hard work. Through out his life, he’s achieved all his dreams on his own. He came to the states with noth-ing and made a name for himself. He dreamed the impossible and achieved it.

This theme’s issue is Gemini. An issue about versatility and being two differ-ent kinds of people in one body. Could you say it’s possible to live two differ-ent dreams at the same time?

Of course! Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.


the treehouSe.

where imagination is created.


I held my breath for what it seems like a lifetime. This secret was living inside me. It built itself a home and lived it’s entire life in the pit of my core. To be who you are living in this sick world is hard enough, but to be two different people and make sure one of them is always hidden is the hardest thing a person can live with. To be constantly reminded would be better than to be constantly living in fear. Fear that some-one will come along and rip your whole world apart.

I took the brush that was wait-ing so patiently in the jar of water and began to paint. I painted the world just the way I saw it, I dipped my brush in the dark side of my palette. I wasn’t sure if anyone was ever going to see this but I wanted to make sure that my eyes did. My moment was interrupted by a phone call, I wanted so badly to ignore it and keep going but I knew if I missed a single call, I wouldn’t be able to be there for my dying father. Any ‘news’ wasn’t news any-more, when someone prepares you with the words, your father is going to die, there is no way up from there. My face blank, my thoughts rehearsed and my emotions suppressed; it was the hospital calling to tell me that he didn’t have much time left. I’ve never driven so fast in my entire life. No mat-ter how fast I was driving, my thoughts were racing faster. Was this the moment I’ve been waiting for or was I about to ruin this man’s life?

I made it to his room just in time, and it seemed as if the entire city was in this tiny room right now, crowding around a single soul. I didn’t know how to tell everyone to get the fuck out because their sympathy didn’t matter to me. My mother saw the look on my face and started slowly walking towards the door, like a pack of wolves, everyone followed. My mother always had that effect on others but in this moment it seemed like my father wasn’t the only one who was dying. She walked up to me and held my face with both hands.

‘Don’t fear my son, for this is what God has planned.’ My heart dropped. I had controlled these emotions and I have practiced this moment as if it were an art. And still, I was not prepared for what was yet to come. I wanted to let them all know that this wasn’t the only thing God had planned. There was so much their precious hearts didn’t know, so much they could not handle.I wasn’t sure how was I going to lay this out for him but I knew I had to choose my words wisely. He was laying there with his palms facing up, a gesture of open arms.

He was now dying, laying on this hospital bed, only God knows what he wants to hear from his own son. I know what he doesn’t want to hear. That his son is gay. That I’m in love with another man, that I can’t bear to be any-body else than who I am right now. This was it. Was I suppose to tell him that I’m the kind of

person he hates and let him leave this world with disappointment or keep it deep inside me and always wonder what could have happened. It’s a lose-lose situa-tion and I didn’t have much time to think of which way I wanted to lose. I had to just go for it.

I grabbed his hand and looked him straight in the eye, I said to him ‘Dad, I’m gay. I’m sorry I’ve never told you sooner but I wasn’t sure how to even tell you.

I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about his following words. He simply whispered, ‘I know.’ I was speechless beyond belief and had hated myself for not coming out and living the life I deserved to live.

‘Son, I love you. No matter who you are. You better run home and hide that painting you draw of two faggots kissing. Your mom won’t be able to handle it as eas-ily.’ He said it with a smile and I was ready. I was ready for him to go, I knew I would be okay on my own. The cardiac monitor suddenly went from short quick beeps to a long steady one.

I went home and saw my mother sitting in the dark with the painting cradled in her arms. The painting looked so incred-ibly abstract from all her tears streaming down it. You couldn’t tell it was two men kissing but you didn’t have to, my words were enough.


What if you were told ex-actly when you were going to die. Would you use it to your advantage and con-quer your fears because you knew nothing else can kill you? Would you make every single dream a real-ity because nothing should be stopping you now? Would you actually


appreciate life and ‘seize the moment’ because you knew how much time you have left? Or would you constantly feel the com-plete opposite because every single day you’re a day closer to the day you die.

I guess you’ll never know.

percieve with your mind.They reflect your own desires and fantasies right back at you. They are a stolen world in which you create the streets, the faces and the sky. These pic-tures will be whatever you want them to be.

To me, art is exactly like a rorschach. There is sim-plicity in what you are looking at but it is your mind that creates a beyond ordinary place.

Every month this section will be filled with brilliant artists who strive to have their art lose you into an entirely different world.When appreciating art, let your mind wander. Let your mind be free.

-First off, what led you to de-cide to ‘Free The Robots’? Tell us about your musical project and what it’s all about.

Free the Robots is an honest musical outlet that I created for myself. I enjoy a lot of differ-ent types of music and love to challenge myself. The music comes out as feeling, without much thought or direction. Just impulsive musical freedom geared towards jazz, psych, electronic, hip hop. The name describes it best.

-What’s it feel like to look up from the DJ booth and see peo-ple grooving in unison to one of your tracks in your restau-rant?

I tend not to play my own mu-sic unless it’s an actual show. It always feels weird when people play my music in my spot. I usually hide out in the kitchen till the next song plays… wait it out ‘til the coast is clear and come back out. Ha!

- ‘Ctrl Alt Delete’ reminds me of the instant escape command on a PC that is used when everything has locked-up and gone to shit and you just need to start over again. It would be nice if such a thing existed in real life. Was this an implied meaning behind the title of your latest album?

Yes. At the time I was making the record, I was in the midst of construction at The Crosby. Unstable, trying to make ends meet, confused, unpredictable income, playing spot dates, trying to make a record, and build a restaurant from the ground up – all at the same time. I was sort of going crazy. I had to stay creative to keep my mind from exploding. By the time I finished the record, The Crosby was already open and slowly moving towards a stable state. My life was getting back together – it was a new beginning.

-With the growth of the Crosby and the success of your latest album Ctrl Alt Delete you seem to have garnered a lot of attention in a relatively small amount of time, but you have been working with music for a while. Can you tell us some of your other musical sojourns prior to Free The Robots?

It was a long process and evolution. I started in the mid 90’s as a battle DJ – one of the youngest competitors in the circuit during that time. I was deeply rooted in hip hop that came out of LA, but also was drawn to the local punk scene in Santa Ana as well. There was not much independent culture in OC, so I clenched on to any bit of difference as I could in my suburban surroundings. Over a decade of collecting records, making mixtapes, DJing and throwing parties around LA and OC inevitably lead to the understanding and creation of original music. I went from a scratch crew, to hip hop groups, to bands, and eventually I found my calling as a solo artist, FTR.

Those pursuing an artistic passion tend to find themselves, at some time or other, at one same pivotal fork in the road; an impasse where a life-changing decision is needed. At this place one must decide to either a) fol-low their heart and go with their creative enthusiasm and fuel their livelihood, or b) leave it behind and get a ‘real’ job sloughing off their talent due to fear of failure or lack of money. To many, it would seem impos-sible to do both… unless you are Chris Alfaro. Alfaro has been able to do both, opening a restaurant and hip nightspot all the while making forays into the digital playground under the musical alias Free The Robots. So we had to find out how a person could juggle two lofty ambitions, succeed, and remain so freakin’ cool.


-Great food, great music and great art exude from The Crosby. What goes into establishing such an inspira-tional hangout?

The direction of what’s going on is fueled by our collective interests as own-ers and operators. Everyone works hard, but it’s really more about having fun. The food, the music, and every-thing in between all work together because, collective-ly, we love what we do, and always want to progress. The synergy between the people behind The Crosby - and the patrons - is amazing. Good vibes. It’s like family for us and we want it to feel like family for everyone.

-Tell us about what you feel The Crosby embod-ies now. How will it adapt and change? What does the future have in store for The Crosby?

We are about to move in to our third year, and look-ing back, I feel like we have grown up tremendously. Paid dues, and solidified our presence in both the food and entertainment commu-nity. That said, I still feel like this is the beginning. We just went through a major 2011 overhaul; tightened things

but there is a huge lack of something fresh and local for them. Everyone ends up moving on to where the in-spiration is: big cities. I know for myself growing up in OC, there were only a hand-ful of spots where I felt sane, so I spent most of my time in LA. The Crosby was built as a local place that I would have loved to have had growing up. We felt that it’s time to give something to the local community that it has lacked for years. As a Santa Ana native myself, it was the only place that fit.

- What is your source of inspiration? Is there some-where you go or people you look up to, to use as a divin-ing rod for inspiration or is it perhaps granted to you from the fabled ghost that inhabits The Crosby storage room?

All the people around me in-spire me. The people I work with, the people I meet at the restaurant, to anyone I meet while on the road. Stay-ing creative is more about feeding off of good vibes… I don’t watch good movies, nor do I don’t listen to good music to get inspired. I enjoy quality stuff, but I’m not trying to think about what other people are doing. I just feed of whatever life has to offer, and go with it. If I feel good, I create in a less stress-ful state.

up, and we’re much more confident and a bit more comfortable with how things are running Just know we will continue to keep things fresh with new items on menu, and proper musi-cal talent. Hopefully we can expand on space… working on it!

-What’s your advice to those that are torn between con-flicting passions and expec-tations in life?

It’s really simple: Do what makes you happy. It’s a sad thing when things like wor-rying about staying with the “norm” get in the way of progress. Things are chang-ing these days, and people have much more power to define and peruse what they want to do. If you’re really passionate about something, put all your energy to it. Just make sure to play your cards right.

- Some would argue that this kind of atmosphere is some-thing you could only find in the big cities like LA. Why did you and your partners decide to set up in Santa Ana when it seems so out of the norm for a suburban crowd?

It’s about creating the vibe from the ground up. Too many talented, hungry peo-ple live in Orange County,

- The theme of this month’s issue is Gemini, about hav-ing different sides to ourselves. Do you believe that living two different lifestyles is possible? Making two different dreams come true?

It’s not easy juggling the two, but it’s possible and all worth it if you love it. The restaurant industry and a career in mu-sic are typically opposites, but it works for me, granted that The Crosby does blend cohe-sively with what I do musically. The main struggle is staying in creative mode while having so many obligations. It’s a con-stant battle being torn between finding and maintaining a deep musical state, while having to deal with any situation at the restaurant: upkeep, meetings, helping with service, being a sound man, booking, designing, or any of the other simplest things like having to pick up cranberry juice can knock your balance off. It all requires both sides of the brain that naturally don’t work together. My part-ners and management have my back when I need my time, but I’m still trying to find the bal-ance. It’s getting better by the day.

the gemini iSSue We walk around with judging eyes and insecure minds with-out realizing who we really are. The idea of this month’s issue had nothing to do with Astrol-ogy but had everything to do with having two different sides to ourselves. I named it Gemini because to me it was about having two halves that make a whole. The twins of Gemini are complex, contradictory and are dual natured. When I first learned about the Astrol-ogy sign, I thought to myself.. ‘that’s weird... shouldn’t we all be Gemini’s then?’

Gemini is about versatility, just like we are. We have two sides, and one will be in hiding when the other one is present. I wanted to portray those two sides and the different roles they play. Just like the devil and the angel on your shoulders, it all depends on the situation we are in, that a specific side comes out. When we are young these two sides are born. Our hearts, pure and our minds, curious can’t tell between right and wrong...unless we are taught. As we grow, we learn to manipulate how we view right from wrong and what actions we take upon them. Our two sides are like oil and water yet can’t live without the other.

I named it gemini, because to me it was about having two halves that make a whole.

Some may call it having two faces but I call it being two different kinds of people in one body. Whenever I meet a person I have to test the waters and see which side is more suited to come out. We at times see one side of a person and cling onto it. Instead of un-derstanding that we all have more than one side, we as-sume that person will always continue to be a certain way, without giving them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve learned to surround myself with people where both sides of myself can come out, rather than keep one hidden at all times.

I asked talented illustrator Steph Granshaw to illustrate for me a woman who had two different sides. One darker than the other to the point where you can feel it by just looking at her. Instead of ask-ing her to create two different people or, twins... I asked her to create two different person-alitites. As obvious as this all sounds,

my intention was to get the reader thinking about their own dual personalities. For myself, it wasn’t about having a darker and softer side.. for me it is about hiding behind both. I manipulate the two sides to show what people want to see because at times, I honestly feel we live in a world where oth-ers can’t handle what is really there. People can’t handle that there others who are different and not the cookie cutter type of person. My two sides are strength and happiness. Two sides I’ve cre-ated myself to form into since I was young. I realized growing

to make me happy unless I found a way to create it. I use to be weak and ignornat until I was put in a situation where I was at my lowest point. I real-ized the only way up from there was to never let myself get to that point again. I created the two sides strength and happi-ness to hide behind but then realized, they weren’t protect-ing me... they are who I am.

up that I couldn’t waste my time feel-ing down because nothing was going to change if I didn’t do something about it myself. No one was going to be able

“Artist of theglenn art

Art by Glenn Arthur. Interview by Natalie Zigdonwww.glennarthurart.com


he month”rthur


The series was actually a sort of spin off idea of the Ghost character which I had original-ly started with. I was trying to make art that spoke to me and in each piece I kept coming back to this emotionally dis-traught white haired lady. After a while I felt that her other side needed to be shown and the Banshee was born.

-Explain the art process of cre-ating the Ghost… what were you looking to achieve.?

The Ghost came about quite by accident. I was working in my sketchbook a lot trying to find my own artistic style and voice. This sad woman kept show-ing up over and over again so I started to turn her into finished pieces. I posted the im-ages online and people began responding to them saying that she looked like a ghost with her pale skin, green eyes and plati-num hair. I really just wanted to express strength through emotion with the Ghost and her light, ethereal features helped to do that.

-Explain the art process of cre-ating the Banshee… what were you looking to achieve?

The Banshee’s features are an opposite response to the Ghost. With her jet black hair and red eyes she portrays the more se-ductive and manipulative side of the character.

Glenn Arthur’s art portrays the reality in which we live in. The Ghost and The Banshee series shows two diff erent halves.. that come together and create one whole. When I came across Glenn Arthur, I couldn’t believe that I ac-tually found exactly what I was looking for. Art that por-trayed that we all have two contradictory sides to us.

-I absolutely love your theme, por-trayal and explanation of The Ghost and The Banshee. Can you explain what you were trying to portray and what the series is suppose to be about?

The Ghost and The Banshee is a series I created about duality. I wanted to physically portray the inner contra-dictions and emotional struggles we deal with as human beings. What we feel we can show the world vs. what we feel we need to hide.

-This month’s issue is about versatil-ity and that we all have two different sides to us. What is your take on this? Do you agree/disagree?

I absolutely agree! Humans are mul-tifaceted creatures. We tend to let our strengths shine and hide our weak-nesses but each side is equally impor-tant in shaping our character.

-How did you come up with the idea for The Ghost and The Banshee? What inspired you to create the se-ries?

-Do you believe that it is nature or nurture that most influences us to grow up with two different sides?

I believe it is more nurture that teaches us to be a certain way out-wardly that doesn’t always reflect who we are inwardly. Societal ideals tend to persuade us to put up fronts to gain acceptance from others and to appear stronger than we might be to deal with certain situations.

-It was mentioned that you grew up in a house with little to no influence in art, what got you into art?

I was always told that art is just a hobby, a waste of time and no way to make a living. I was also told that men are never supposed to cry. So I guess it was a bit of a rebellion on my part to use art as my emotional outlet and to pursue a career in it.

-What inspires you or your art?

Human emotion, contradiction, love, death, seduction and beauty all inspire my art. I’m very into art nouveau and I adore Victorian styled patterns as well as ornate details.

-Do you ever create males in your art?

I actually don’t. There is a specific emotional aesthetic that I try to achieve in my work and women tend to convey that message better than a man could.


n

-There are a lot of signature marks you add throughout your art. What are they and why?

I’m a sucker for symbolism. There are certain symbols in my life that I really relate to that I love to put into all of my work. Hum-mingbirds are my favorite animal. There are so many legends about them throughout history and they are so mysterious in their own right. To me they are everything and anything magical. The ging-ham hearts are a simple portrayal of wearing my heart on my sleeve. (I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic) The rosaries tie into my belief of the power of suggestion through certain iconography.

-Do you believe it is possible to live two different lives? Or do you feel they will start to mesh together and not be able to differentiate themselves?

I’m a firm believer in balance. I think it may be possible to live two separate lives but there has to be a balance between the two which sometimes mean revealing both sides at times.

-There is a lot of pain in your art... is there a reason for that? Do you carry a lot of pain in your heart?

The reason for the pain in my art is to show people that it’s not a weakness to show emotion or cry, but rather strength to be able to understand and experience those feelings. I try not to carry a lot of pain in my heart. When I do expe-rience it I use my art to express it and to help my heart heal.
