Original Domain LLC Publication is located in Hammond, Indiana near Lake Michigan within the Northwest Indiana Region.

Founded by Martin M. Zuniga “Moon” the inspiration came while working in the educational field at the elementary level.

Being granted a “first look” at “original artwork” from which came the name “First Originals” created from the student’s imagination it was discovered that the littlest of artists would enjoy showcasing their work and therefore a public outlet for them was needed….

Although, coloring out of the lines, unorganized shapes and disfigured humans may often lose appeal to an adult eye – Art created by the little artist carries significant value considered a masterpiece by the child and their peers.

Unfortunately, the child’s masterpiece is sometimes immediately overlooked and disposed, so the form of public platform needed to serve multiple purposes – granting public exposure for greater appreciation beyond the temporary kitchen refrigerator display at home and school classroom. Furthermore, it needed to “capture” the child’s “First Original” to treasure for a little longer.

Additionally, budget cuts would later endanger the existence of the arts in schools fortunately a child’s imagination continues and naturally seeks an audience.

After some time and failed efforts the public platform took the shape of a magazine – Finally a successful idea was realized.

Originally created as a public outlet to encourage the artistic creations of CHILDREN featured in My First Originals, awareness grew, the focus was now on the adult artist seeking additional exposure and eventually Original Domain art magazine was born and the first  to launch February 22, 2014.
