[1]Tasha Zimich [2], a student graduating Simon Fraser University’s School for Contemporary Arts Visual Art Program, took on a long-time dream of illustrating and self-producing her own graphic arts books. Thanks to Crowdsourced Funding Tasha achieved and exceeded her $1600.00 funding goal [3].
The success of her Crowdsouced Funding Campaign allowed for the production of her Graduate Exhibition piece, A Gorey Demise Storybook [4], to be actualized and exhibited at Audain Gallery’s “I flux” 2012 BFA Graduating Exhibition.
[5]Opening the evening of Friday the 13th, the gallery filled to capacity with patrons, who had the opportunity to engage with and experience Tasha’s Multi-Media installation.Tasha’s student works have proven to reach beyond the boundaries of the classroom, and engage others on many different levels. As an emerging artist she is cultivating a practice in customizing designer vinyl toys and sculpture, and has become a repeat content contributor to top vinyl art & culture news circles such as spankystokes.com and toysrevil.com , and exhibited internationally through Disney Play Imaginative Mickey Mouse Showcase 2012 and Arizona-based Rusted Nail Gallery ‘I Heart Munny’ Kidrobot Tribute show.
