Arguably the most distinguished moniker belongs to a man named Buz Blurr, known on the rails as Colossus of Roads. Widely renowned for his accomplishments within the mail art network, Blurr’s iconic self-portrait has become the quintessential example of the moniker art form, as well as one of the most recognizable and well respected monikers. Though his drawings are widely known among many art circles, few actually know who he is.

Icons, in essence, are symbols: people who singlehandedly represent a culture or idea larger than themselves. “Monikers” are not so different—icons all the same, but symbols that represent people, primarily those living and working on and along American railroads.

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.
As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".
Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
