Vegan Voices: Celebrating Artists Like Moby

August 1, 2026 by Kerly Ilves

Alright, this is cool. I decided last year that I want to write for every issue for the Vegan magazine. I have kept my promise so far and I was once again lucky that the editors liked my idea to introduce vegan musicians in the summer issue. What is so cool about it? Well, Moby is about to perform in Tartu (6th of August, 2026), my home town, in a couple of days (sold out, btw!), while writing this. Moby is a world famous DJ and a producer, but also the GREATEST animal rights activist. (I am getting goosebumps, while writing it!) I got the idea a while ago to contact the concert organizers and ask for a free ticket to the show. I was given green light for it and I did it – the organizers agreed to give two passes for two lucky souls! Feels great to bring joy.

Here is the link to the article in Estonian.

Capturing Joy: vegan sanctuary photoshoot

July 15, 2026 by Kerly Ilves

I had a wonderful chance, once again, to take a cover for the VEGAN magazine. Though taking photos of Eke, in my office at the time, was fun, but going to another place was something else.

Kati and Martin, two loving vegans live near Viljandi and run a sanctuary for hares called Rõõmsad Hüpped, in English Happy Jumps or Joyful Hops, you get the idea. They picked me up from Viljandi and we got to know each other a bit better during the ride. After the arrival at their old cottage, an inheritance from Martin’s dad, they showed me around and I got to meet their cute fosters – almost 25 different types of hares. Oh, what a joy!

And when we got to the photo taking, then oh what a joy again! Kati and Martin came very prepared! They had their special countryside outfits and the old hay-making tools. Scythe and all! I mean, the photo says it all!

Looking for the third cover, magazine Vegan! 🙂

An article in Vegan magazine

November 1, 2025 by Kerly Ilves

I was extremely happy to have the opportunity to write about my experiences at the Toronto Vegetarian (actually vegan) Bank, where I volunteered for a year.

I got to do a short interview with Matthew Noble, who is running the food bank. It was great to get to know him better and find out that, besides being a wonderful human being who has dedicated his life to improving the lives of animals, he is engaged in many fields where he can apply the same work.

I am truly amazed that such an institution as a vegan food bank exists in this world. So blessed that I was able to be part of it and write about it in a vegan magazine. Thank you, Universe! 🙂
