Funky: Brittany Paige

Hearing the word "Funky" makes me think of disco balls, crazy lights and fun outfits. I was at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. There is an entire hall way of pillars made out of mirrors with light designs in them. This has the feel of a funky disco to me.

"I always seen myself as sort of this funky, electic artist" Suzy Bogguss

Artist are very funky and electic in just their style and with the things that they collect. Most of us don't want to admit that we shop at thrift store to find that funky and electic item. Don't be afraid to create your own style, the funkier the better.

Funky : Maurice Anderson

When you think funky do you think of a happy time or do you think of a smell that you only dread. When i think of that word i start to think about laundry day and all the stuff i have to sort through. From the darks to the lights to the things i have to throw bleach on. There is nothing more funky than the stench of smelly socks on a hot day , or the sour smell of some wet towels that i have been sitting in the corner of the bedroom that you forgot about.

Funk

Is funk dead?  Or is it a living creature?  I don't know much about funk, nor do I really care.  But if you dress someone up like this... give em some roller skates and a disco ball... and then send them down Colfax... car accidents will happen.  All I know is funk can be dangerous.

Punching Mirrors

Last week I got news from back home in Louisiana that a very dear friend to my two younger brothers and I had passed away, very tragically, from a drug overdose.  He was like my third younger brother, and they all looked up to my friends and I (scary thought).  Ten years ago I moved here from Louisiana to get away from that shit, because I could see what it was doing to all of my friends.  For some reason, down there it was easier for teens to get pills than it was to get alcohol.  Pretty soon, this same sort of thing was happening within thousands of different circles of friends throughout the South.  In ten years I've lost more friends to this same disease than I care to mention or think about.  I couldn't make it to the funeral to pay my last respects, because I was dealing with my own problems here in Colorado, so I ended up just losing my shit in my own house, the day they were putting my boy in the ground.  When things like this happen, I usually punch doors off hinges,  or holes through walls, but on this particular day, I was more angry at the person I saw in the mirror.  For the first time ever I hated myself for just walking away from all those I cared about who were falling victim to this.  It also really opened my eyes to everything that's been going on in my own life for the past year.  "And the cracks began to show..." -Flux P.

Heather Zindars: FUNK

 Funk displays itself in many different forms.  This structure in the Denver Art District is funky, but also considered art.   I considered it to be a perfect place to display this funky fashion, modeled by Joshua Marable, put together from the stylish consignment shop, The Buffalo Exchange.  Each piece was carefully selected to showcase a popular style from the 80's.   Joshua successfully pulls off the funky fashion of that time period that oftentimes peeks its funky head out in current styles.  Don't forget....we all have a little FUNK in us, and its alright.

Mariah Mata: Funky

        I feel Funky was most embraced in the 1980‘s with vibrant neon colors and wild hair. I wanted to show how times change, but classic styles always come back. This character is letting out her true self for the photographer, from the big hair to the funky blue mustache. She is embracing her silly side, her love of bright colors, and her individuality. She is comfortable with showing her true colors.
