About DG

Digitized Graffiti was founded in 2010 and features the very best of music, culture and technology. DG is a non-commercial site and has to date continued to remain advertisement free. If you have an idea for a story or wish to submit your music, feel free to email me here: colmhogan(AT)gmail(DOT)com.

Colm Hogan is Chief Contributor and Publisher at DG. He's written books (Ice Cold Nights, Crack Whore Pickup), and produced/directed several independent documentary films (Matatu Express, The Legend of 23 Hop, Back To The Zone). His work in historical music culture preservation has been featured in Vice, Now Magazine and BlogTO along with Denise Benson's Then & Now and Sara Gwendolyn Ross' Law & Intangible Cultural Heritage in the City.

After a car accident in 2014 in which his wife sustained serious, life long injuries, Colm was introduced to art therapy as a way to cope with subsequent mental health challenges. This process inspired him to help others find creative methods to battle similar circumstances. He now works in mental health as a Therapeutic Art and Mindfulness Facilitator.
