Motif had the opportunity to speak with PVD-based artist, Nick Paciorek, known for his local and international landscapes, paintings that use big strokes of vivid color to create lively tones and atmosphere. Originally from Chicago, Paciorek has lived in RI for decades and currently creates art at The Pitcher-Goff house in Pawtucket: Luke Taylor (Motif): […]

For much of the country, March 15 marked the official beginning of quarantine. That morning, I took to the woods with two of my good friends. I figured the three of us could manage to spend the day outside together without breaching the recommended distance of 6 feet. Our text thread from the night before […]
Being confined to your living space during a pandemic can be stressful, especially in such indefinite and uncertain times. It can also be fun and inspiring. While the news cycle and Netflix are easy ways to stave off boredom, there are countless non-digital ways to entertain ourselves in our own backyards. Bushcraft projects are a good […]

The storefront on Ives St. is mostly a revolving showroom of many styles of e-bikes. The bikes on display are not for sale. Potential buyers are encouraged to come in for a test ride, then order one that fits their needs. “So e-bikes are more of a bicycle than a moped or a motorcycle?” I […]
As a kid, I was pretty unfamiliar with the lay of the land outside of my quiet suburban neighborhood in Warwick, but I was a skateboarder, which put me in the vicinity of skaters from other neighborhoods who knew about other skate spots. Other spots meant meeting more skaters. It didn’t take long for my […]
Hot, muggy nights that were spent drinking vodka cocktails and watching “Shark Tank” reruns will now be spent drinking whisky and watching horror movies as the weather turns cool, and my days will be spent in pursuit of the great outdoors. As far as I am concerned, there is no better time than fall to […]
Last fall, I accompanied my son on a hike with his Cub Scout pack in the woods of the Arcadia Management Area. Boys in blue and tan uniforms led the way while parents followed and observed from close behind. The night before, my son and I flipped through his Cub Scout Bear Handbook for info […]
The world is changing, and so is tattooing. Social media has made it easier than ever for artists to market themselves to vast audiences at no cost. Reality shows helped to bring tattoos into the mainstream, and advancements in technology have changed the functions of most artists’ daily operations. It has never been easier to […]
