 Paul Salamone (website) is a freelance designer, writer, and performance
artist/musician out of a cheap townhouse in Boulder. With experiences as a communard, karaoke dj, and garrulous
newspaper columnist under his belt, Paul brings to Polysemy the
perspective of a life-long media addict prone to taking on creative
challenges for hyper-idealistic organizations, mixed with a penchant
for caffiene-fueled all-nighters where the sketchbooks pile high and
the ideas flow far into the aether. This is his first art magazine.
