      Comedian Jeff Smith-Luedke is one of my favorites. Since this is my magazine, and this space is empty, I’m ganna write about him here.  

        Fact: Jeff can score over 1,000 viewers in an 8 hour period! Jeff has over 7,000 subscribers to his youtube channel. He also co-hosts a podcast with Ben Carruth called I, Object. He's married, aged 25, and living in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.  

      Jeff is working on some short film projects  and fiction to elate his fans.  Visit his website to read more about him, to buy his books, or to join the ever-growing cult of www.azrienoch.com  You can also simply come back here on a regular basis because I’ll be posting my favorites. I like the ones where his tattoos show. I joke! 18 would be a favorite even if he was wearing clothes. If you don't know what 18 is ... go to YouTube and search Jeff's videos!

Many people from all over the world upload homemade videos to their YouTube account on a regular basis. Sharing things from makeup tips to their own 'shows'. Most while sitting in front of their computers as their webcams won't allow them to venture anywhere. Lots of people think this is the perfect venue to talk about all those things their real friends don't let them ramble on about. OK, Quaint can understand that. Anyway, my point was I stumbled across Azrienoch on youtube. Azrienoch is just some guy making videos on youtube but his popularity floors me! If you compare his account to other accounts that have been up for the same amount of time with the same amount of video uploads you'll see Azrienoch is very different. He has TONS more subscribers and people LOVE to comment on his videos too. Each video gets daily comments. And just like a true gentleman, Azrienoch almost always replies back. Azrienoch's first videos show a man with a mind. And a mouth. His videos soon progress to some sort of deep Escher statement. Leaving you lost in thought and new ideas even though it's just a man in a white shirt in front of a white background yammering on. It's so hard to explain. But I'm certainly not the only one that admires him. As I said he has tons of fans. And by tons I mean over 7800 subscribers! He has now progressed with his shows again leaving many of his fans feeling a bit let down. And by let down I mean lost. I believe he somehow entered their lives as a pastor often does. With intention, but unsure of how important his role would be. His new show TeaTime shows off his excellent video making skills but this is somehow overlooked by his fans. They only want the water he spills forth every time he opens his mouth. TeaTime divides Jeff (Azrienoch) into 6 characters. 1.His gorgeous tattooed sometimes greasy haired self, 2.a little white dog named Dog, 3.a little doll named Doll, 4.a little big boy statute (if your British, a stupid nik nak) that came from only God knows where, 5.whatever 'guest' the show is having on, and 6.my personal favourite; 18. Despite the fact that the show is new, it has had mega amounts of feedback. Some love it just because it's him, some hate it because they seem to expect so much more from such a profound man. You know you're reading this because you care about my opinion, well, here it is, Azrienoch can do whatever the hell he wants and I'll still love it. He is an artist. You can not judge an artist or his work. Thems the rules.

About the Quaint Cover

about the photographer:
 
     "Previously an accountant for 12 years, Angela had a mid life crisis and fled corporate toss in 2006 to pursue dreams of becoming a photo artist. Self-taught in photoshop, and receiving some help on how to use the knobs and dials on her camera from a photography evening class, she is now hoping to break into the world of magazine illustration, book jackets and print sales.

     This year one of her images was chosen to be exhibited at the Surrey Open Art Competition at the Lightbox in Woking. And one was chosen to be featured on the front cover of Quaint Magazine! Her influences are wide and varied, including Breughel, Goya and Magritte from the art world.

     She hopes to create works which are more mood evocative than concerned with technical perfection, and strives to portray a sense of mystery with a smattering of humour."

Quaint Says: Magritte is one of my TOP favorites too! 
 
 

 
 
The Quaint Magazine RedrObot Photo Shoot
 
 
RedrObot is an organic t-shirt company that (in my opinion) sells the coolest t-shirts ever!  They've even got one for donnie darko fans!  

The quality of the t-shirts is high. The fabric is very soft and the attention to detail with their logo on every item is an appreciated touch. You'd do well to order yourself a few if you're at all looking for something comfortable, casual, and unique. They specialize in t-shirts but they have a few zip hooded sweatshirts that will appeal to many of you too! Visit them now and get a friend one for the holidays. The packaging is so cool you won't even need to wrap it! Once you see the quality you will soon order again for yourself!  www.redrobot.co.uk
