Family comes first. This edition focuses on the relationships with our family and how it motivates the creative process.

And This Was My Happy Ending

When Fate Finds Fiction, anything can happen… A love story from a man’s perspective.

In The Beginning

It is our responsibility to influence with visuals, educate through emotion, and foster a creative crusade. Art is our propaganda. This is our movement. This paperback is an educational guide for sharing.

High Contrast

This publication is an assemblage of students searching for inspiration. These young idealists interviewed idols and honored mentors. It is a document of the burning desire for brilliance.

The genius. The virtuoso. Masters. We were curious what defines greatness. This collection of talent challenges the argument.

The Red Pages

The first and last page of this perfect bound book is bright red. Everything in between these thick textured sheets highlights sophomore efforts. The follow-up. The sequel. We wanted to talk about seconds.

Three Thursdays – A new web series created by Kevin Staniec. Episodes will be released weekly, exclusively on KevinStaniec.com.

Three Thursdays is a funny little documentary about mediocrity and failure. In the summer of 2002, Keith Wilson, a liquor store clerk with big dreams and a bigger mouth, talked three music venues into staging three concerts. He convinced five up-and-coming bands to perform on three consecutive Thursdays. This is Keith’s story. These are his three Thursdays.
