How did Saraswati start?
Believing in something can really take up a lot of your time. It makes you question your conscious, and if you sit alone long enough, you think too much.
This is how Saraswati developed. I was so tired of seeing amazing and talented people struggle with exposure. Do not get me wrong, it is SO much easier these days to get exposer than let's say, wow... even five years ago! Made me really wonder how artists 20+ years ago were able to get out and make a name for themselves. They worked... and they worked hard! Attending festivals, setting up vendor tents at events hoping to sell just one piece of work, selling paintings on the boardwalk. These people were dedicated, and I still see this type of dedication every single day.
Before tackling this magazine, I saw so many people drawing, painting, sculpting, designing, and singing their asses off to earn some respect, and build a fan base... and maybe, just maybe earn a little cash. I saw beautiful work and music being completely overlooked, and that is when I really wanted to start a magazine to boost the exposure of underground art and music culture.
