But the notion is more about taking something and creating your own meaning rather than being defined by someone else.

What you seek and what you never expected to find is what TLOSmag.com is all about. The Gallery accepts submissions from artists in illustration, design, photography, music and video. In each issue, a selection of 10 to 15 artists are juried to go onto the website, where they get the attention of creative directors, designers and inspired thinkers. Work must be original. Gallery is open to submissions worldwide. There is a small entry fee of $5 U.S. Collaborations are a unique feature of TLOSmag.com. Pairing together featured artist from submissions from the gallery and a an advertiser to create a brand message exclusively for the site.
