The second issue has just been published and can be found in all the usual suspects (Tate Modern, Whitechapel Gallery, Magma, Artwords) and, more importantly, for anyone who's ever searched for a copy of those free magazines you can never find (stand up Fact, Good For Nothing), you can also order a copy online. The current issue features, alongside the young guns, work from established artists including Sir Peter Blake, Glen Baxter and Alan Kitching, alongside in the publisher's words "a spattering Uzi of narrative illustration and absurd wordage... featuring the dreamers, the misfits, the people who love drawing and storytelling, the people who are eccentric rather than fashionable." |
