-Ramon Trif, Head Curator/ Creator/ Host, Entry 05
-It's surreal. I remember when I was a child and just knew that I wanted to be an artist. Here I am now not only an artist, but a curator to my own created venue! It is something that is indescribable and awe-inspiring beyond any recognition. I am blessed, humbled and motivated to keep going. It is in my desires to help those starting out to jump start their careers and pursue their dreams, no matter how big or crazy they are! That's what drove me, after all! I want to say a special thanks to Meesha Mitch, she was the first person to provide a gallery for me through her "Antagonist Art Movement" at Niagara Bar in NYC. She may not know this but I look up to her and am proud to say that I myself like her am now a curator. You inspired me to help others as well, Meesha! Thanks for everything! Good karma for you, forever in my gratitude! Thank you to Alex Mercado, my best friend and the one who always backed me up, pushed me forward and was there for me even amidst his own pursuits in life. You are a true and rare friend that I thank God for every day, man! Thank you to Casandra Maniotis for your interest in Heaven No More. I await to see your talents unfold in the next and finalizing chapters of Heaven No More! We are a team and a damn good one! A great one! Here's to eternal creativity and to Heaven No More! Thanks! God bless.

Four Corners of the Earth: HORIZON

(direct quote from Niles Willow from The Gilde, newspaper)

"... with my last release of the almighty Colossus sightings I leave you all with a rather hopeful conclusion. After all the criticisms of the media, fellow artist, scientists, religions.. the fact remains that I'm not the only one seeing this divine beast. It was lastly spotted by an islander in the far east. This beautiful sunset to me represents a foreigner's journey in search of a long-time friend come to a close. I feel we all can observe something remarkably beautiful about all this.. if someone of another realm is willing to stop at nothing to find someone dear to it.. we as humans would be wise to remember our own roots of love and dedication. If this Colossus ever reveals itself to us or not along with its partner, I feel this world is not alone and that it is in good hands, being guarded."

.. with those last words, Niles Willow did not release any information as to his next move or where he'd travel from here. As his statement implies.. sometimes, time can only tell.ayed at Heaven No More

(article taken from The Gilde, newspaper):
... Niles Willow, the well-known artist turned phenomenon in the recent weeks over his sitings of the elusive "Colossus" releases his third installment. Willow left information to our press regarding his latest piece. He has stated that the "Colossus" will stop at nothing it appears to find his master. It has left enormous foot prints in this South-Eastern volcanic valley, just after its nearby volcano erupted. It is assumed that it is impervious to much of the elements. Perhaps it is in its ancient metallic armor that The Colossus gains his strength... one more release is highly anticipated from Niles this week.)

Four Corners of the Earth: Tundra

(quote taken from The Gilde, newspaper):
".. I just couldn't wait in accordance to my manager's advice.. the people must see this! The Colossus is making fast track across the far ends of our planet! This beast from the gods cannot be denied.. to do so is such ignorance and a true blasphemy.. this is a rare beauty of unspeakable proportion... "

(... according to Niles' rant, he is to release his pieces of the set entitled: "Colossus, the Four Corners" sooner than anticipated. He is getting massive press coverage and criticism from the art and science communities. Niles informed us that his latest rendering was portrayed from an e-mailed description from the North West regions of Alaska)
