ABOUT:

Evynn Tyler is a student, writer, and artist living in Reno, Nevada. Currently enrolled at the University of Nevada as a writing and journalism major, Evynn spends much of his time reading about, and interacting with the world. As a writer, Evynn has led numerous writing seminars (creative fiction and non-fiction), highly-popular fiction sites (he was the mind behind websites like Astonishing X and its sequel, Ultra Vires, both of which were collaborative writing projects which tackled the problem of oppression through the lens of science-fiction); he’s written various articles on human sexuality and relationships at Insight Magazine as a regular columnist (Up and Coming, an exploration of human sexuality and Lay of the Land, an exploration of problems in human relationships); he’s tackled the challenging topic ofheteronormativity as well as gender representation in articles like Threadbare Standard; and has even written op-eds in opposition to ethno-centricity, misogyny, and problems in popular culture (The Plight of the Yanomami; The Other Woman is Full of It; The Real Problem With Azealia Banks - Misogyny, Hip-Hop, and the New Decade; Deadly Attraction - The Fashion, Mobility, and Oppression of European Women).


More recently, Evynn has begun work as a solo-artist, expanding his lyrical and musical horizons after having collaborated as a vocal artist in award-winning band Bazooka Zoo (alongside Zachary Haley and J.D. Christison). His current project, Fever Dreams, is set for a September 2012 release. Marking a distinct departure from his previous work, Fever Dreams sets to paint the musical landscape of a free spirt in search of his artistic identity through lush soundscapes, high-energy, clever wordplay, and unabashed, finger-snapping sass.

Other projects of Evynn’s include a sci-fi graphic novel titled Transhumanity, a philosophical weighing-in of the value of the individual outlier placed within the context of an overwhelming cultural context—through the eyes of a super-heroine; as well as a collection of non-fiction essays titled Additive Light — an exploration of art and human existence in a digital age.

Evynn Tyler currently acts as the editor-in-chief of Nevada Insight, a magazine created by and for the undergraduate population at the University of Nevada, which distributes to the local area and covers local stories. Nevada Insight can be found on the web at http://www.UNRinsight.com, via Twitter @UNR_Insight, and on Facebook (keyword: Nevada Insight)
