About Me

Prologue:Faith-Ann Young is an Aussie-born, Japanese/French/German pixie raconteur (aka journalist photog), who has lived in an opium den in Paris and a farming town outside Tokyo. Home is currently a 5-piece-lego-sized studio in Tribeca filled with Gauguin-inspired mixed media art, Laotian-tribal gear, piles of books, a dusty guitar, acryllic-crusted paintbrushes, and 2 surfboards. Though creative thoughts flourish, no plant has ever survived this environment.www.faithannyoung.comSENIOR EDITOR of Mog.com.ASSOCIATE EDITOR of RCRD LBL (www.rcrdlbl.com).CONTRIBUTOR(writer/photographer):Blender Magazine, Monocle Magazine, Dazed & Confused (Digital), Yen Magazine, Sup Magazine, Flavorpill, Big Shot Magazine, i-94 Magazine, Preen Magazine, Foam Magazine, Water Magazine, Load Magazine, The Libertine.FOUNDER/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: United Nations' Young Professionals For International Co-Operation (news-geared-for-people-who-can-point-out-Sudan-on-a-map-and -want-to-do-something-about-it)
