Hi there, this is the Indyish Press Center.
So far, we’ve been very fortunate, in that everywhere we seem to take this crazy scheme we’ve been greeted with open arms and a warm response. Take a look at some of the nice things people have said about us.
Natasha Aimee Hall on montrealgazette.com” What started out with a blog and online boutique featuring a loose affiliation of indie “folks who make stuff” has evolved into a well-oiled monthly event that revels in breaking down artistic boundaries[…] “
Sheila Crosbie on celtx.com” Celtx teamed up with the Montreal-based- creative-geniuses-with-heaps-and-heaps- of-non-stop-energy over at Indyish.com to assist with their production of The Assembly 2.0 International Art Relay - a collaborative relay for writers, directors, actors, illustrators, musicians and animators. A unique and challenging endeavour indeed[…] It is for these tremendous efforts and amazing talents that we crown The Indyish Assemby2.0 Art Relay the Celtx Project of the Week[…] “
Isa Tousignant on hour.ca” Local techies mix the glue that binds creators together. Risa Dickens and Elran Oded are local brainiacs with attitude. They’ve got a lot of cool friends too, and they want to introduce them to us all[…] “
Andre Peloquin on popmontreal.com” Indyish est un portail virtuel d’art indé. Réunissant autant des designers que des musiciens et des graphistes, cette « coop » est surtout connue à Montréal pour ses activités réalisées en collaboration avec Pop Montréal[…] “
Katie Jamison on lulu.com” Indyish.com is a really interesting community of creators bridging a wide variety of media, including art, music, literature, and clothing[…] “
Michael-Oliver Harding on montrealmirror.com” For budding artists struggling to make do, access to the proper tools is key. So Risa Dickens co-founded Indyish.com[…] “
Robyn Fadden on midnightpoutine.ca” Yes, it’s all about integration, participation, sharing. Sometimes Indyish reminds me of this open-concept elementary school I went to in grades 2 and 3. We didn’t have classes and were kind of free to roam from library to math area to arts stations to gym to whatever as long as we spent a certain amount of time at each area. But somehow it didn’t result in chaos. And somehow we learned a lot. As with Indyish, I think it had a lot to do with the structure - open enough to evolve and create at one’s own pace yet with parametres that allowed for good socialization and a sense of being part of something bigger[…] “
Posted on onelovemedia.ca” As this site becomes more and more established, we see how this kind of organic, barrier-free, forward-thinking middleman arrangements are the way of the future for artists. With the internet, comes opportunities for artisits of all types to create a company or group and sell to an international market without the help of an established label or distributor who takes a big cut of sales. Friendly collaborative partnerships can occur between distributors and artists without the sole driving force of profits, but also the love of the craft and the support of the creative artisans community[…] “
