EM STOREY. THE ART BEHIND TEGAN AND SARA

I've long been a fan of Tegan and Sara, Canadian twin indie-pop duo (sorry for the sound-bite categorizing) but I also have always admired their accompanying visual aesthetic featuring hand-made-looking album art, especially of the last album The Con. Curve magazine, a magazine geared towards twenty and thirty something lesbians, recently did a feature on Em Storey, Sara's partner, and the long-time art director for Tegan and Sara who has designed most of their album covers, accompanying art work, their website, and even limited edition Tegan and Sara shoes. Check the article here. And for those of you who have been under a rock (or maybe just anywhere other than Williamsburg and SilverLake) and have never heard a Tegan and Sara song, here's the video for 'Call It Off'.
On a side note...this video of Tegan allowing herself passively to be tied in rainbow phone wire reminds me (literally and figuratively) of my last relationship. Read what you will into that one!
