About Us
Jesse L. Brooks
Owner / Creative Propagandist / Guerrilla War Chief & Captain
Jesse L. Brooks is an obsessively-driven creative force—equal parts renegade and refined. As a multi-disciplinary creative director, strategist, and provocateur, Jesse moves at the intersection of rebellion and precision, where raw ideas are shaped by strict frameworks—and where those same frameworks often break open to reveal something unexpectedly human, powerful, and real.
He originally tagged the streets under the name “error,” a brief but formative chapter in street art that shaped his belief in art as a response to environment, urgency, and emotion. That mindset persists: Jesse attacks creative problems from all angles, weaving multi-layered narratives rooted in culture, chaos, and the everyday.
He believes “good” is the enemy of “great”—and that great ideas don’t require bloated budgets, just fearless minds and disciplined craft. Simplicity is sacred. Except when it comes to the amount of soul, sweat, and obsessiveness poured into every detail.
Jesse doesn’t shy away from accolades—they’re proof that meaningful work connects. But he’d trade them all in a second for his inner circle: his family, his friends, and his one very particular Maltese who couldn’t care less about his resume.
For those who do care about the work, here’s a quick roll call: Interscope, A&M Records, Virgin Records, Geffen, Warner Bros., Def Jam, Red Bull, Push Magazine, 101 Distribution, Fumble Bee Ent, M.O.B. Records, Warehouse Agency2, Agency 49 LLC, TV TV Production, Rudimental LLC, and The 49th Degree Magazine.

Magazine Team
Leigh Rodgers
Writer. Activist. Occasional beekeeper. Leigh Rodgers has spent over a decade documenting the power of collective action in overlooked corners of America. The Portland-born, Alaska-seasoned writer first gained recognition with The Ice We Stand On (Northern Lights Journal, 2015), an investigative series on youth-led climate protests in Anchorage. Their essays have appeared in The Glacier Gazette, Common Ground Review, and Echoes Quarterly. “It demonstrates the potential of locals and young individuals at large when they come together and take action,” Leigh says. Known for carrying a leather notebook covered in protest stickers, they can often be found scribbling thoughts mid-bus ride or while waiting for coffee that’s “ethically sourced and preferably from someone’s cousin’s farm.”
Eugene Moreno
London-based culture writer and self-proclaimed “collector of other people’s radical optimism,” Eugene Moreno has covered everything from underground theater collectives in Brixton to post-punk revival bands in Lisbon. Their acclaimed feature Ink and Intention (Urban Vanguard, 2019) earned them a nomination for the fictional Whitlow Culture Prize. Discussing the creative department at Error, Eugene said, “The desire for change is contagious. They appear to embrace courage, refusing to let fear hinder their progress.” Moreno’s work has been featured in The Shift, New Lines Weekly, and Underground Frame. Known for writing in long, handwritten letters before typing, Eugene also owns a collection of over 200 mismatched mugs—none of which are dishwasher safe.
Tara Gildon
Toronto-based Tara Gildon blends the empathy of a memoirist with the eye of a documentarian. Her feature The North Remembers (City Beat Magazine, 2017) followed small-town Canadian hockey fans as they turned their arenas into community aid centers during winter blackouts. This edition, she engaged intimately with Alaska’s featured guests: “People take great pride in their commitment to supporting one another.” Gildon’s work appears in Maple & Grit, Latitude Stories, and Borderless Press. She admits to having a habit of leaving half-read books in every room of her apartment “because the story needs to breathe.”
Mia Clark
From the desert heat of Tucson, Arizona, Mia Clark writes with a sharp, warm voice that explores art as a catalyst for social change. Her profile series Streetlight Saints (Red Clay Review, 2018) chronicled muralists in marginalized neighborhoods and was later adapted into a community art program. While covering Error’s creative department, Mia captured its heartbeat: “The aspiration to transform is infectious. They seem to be brave, not letting fear stand in the way of their dreams.” Her work has been published in Nomad Review, Color Theory Journal, and Desert Chroma. Mia swears by writing first drafts in cafés so noisy “you can hear the espresso machine hiss like it’s arguing with you.”
Casey Hart
Freelance culture writer with a background in journalism and sociology, Casey Hart moves fluidly between long-form narrative and personal essay. Their 2020 series Side Streets (The Metroverse) examined the intersectional experiences of queer and immigrant youth in urban spaces, earning praise from The Collective Quarterly. Casey covers urban life, emerging subcultures, and identity politics in outlets such as Intersection Magazine, Urban Mosaic, and Rooted Voices. They’re known for taking long walks at midnight to “let the city talk back” and always keeping a jar of neon highlighters on their desk—color-coding every idea before writing.
Jordan Lane
With a degree in media studies and years as a copy editor, Jordan Lane crafts lifestyle, design, and travel stories that balance crisp service journalism with personal narrative. Lane’s essay The Chair I Sat In (Haven Living, 2021), about a single piece of furniture that traveled with them through five countries, became a reader favorite. Their work appears in The Interiorist, Slow Atlas, and The Wanderer’s Index. Jordan’s editorial voice is clean, curious, and inclusive. Known for collecting vintage postcards from places they’ve never been, Jordan keeps them pinned above their desk as “promises to the future.”
Taylor Ellis
An investigative writer and contributing editor, Taylor Ellis is drawn to stories that expose systemic inequities and amplify marginalized voices. A former public policy researcher, Taylor’s landmark investigation Evicted in the Shadows (The Civic Lens, 2018) examined displacement in low-income neighborhoods and was cited in city council hearings. Their work has appeared in Justice Quarterly, The Horizon Ledger, and Undercurrent Review. Taylor’s cool-toned, meticulous prose unravels complex systems without losing sight of the human element. They’re notorious among friends for carrying two notebooks—one for facts, one for feelings—and for never drinking coffee after 2 p.m. because “it keeps the mind running when the heart needs to rest.”
