Jenna kindly sent me a hardcopy of the New York Times article I was in. Thanks!
She also sent me two really neat zines, Diary (http://gabriellebell.com/) and Girl Crush Zine (http://girlcrushzine.tumblr.com/). So far I have only read the latter and it is pretty sick, especially the asparagus and penne frittatta recipe, yum! Thankyou x
Making it up as we go along!
Happy birthday! Dazed and Confused are celebrating 20 years of their wicked magazine. When I was younger I would always flick through copies my parents would leave at home, but I never really buy it, i-D always gets in there first. Anyway, so it was really great to see an exhibition all about Dazed at Somerset House - to view magazine content on the same level that you view a framed piece of art. I thought that was cool, in the world of publishing you always rush onto making the next issue for the printers deadline and you never get a chance to properly acknowledge what you have created - so I think the show was great in that respect. Below are some of my favourite pieces from the show ...
The language Barbara Kruger (below) uses in her pieces is ace. "I'm cool. If I wasn't skinny, I couldn't be cool. I'd have to be hot, or even worse warm" - perfect phrasing for the world of fashion journalism!
Phil Poytner's series "I didn't recognise you with your clothes on" for November 1998 is definetly one of my new favourites! So witty.
Also the embroidery pieces by Maurizio Anzeri for "It came from the sky" were absolutely gorgeous.
Art Licks
The other week at the ICA I picked up a copy of "Art Licks". The magazine aims to "explore what artists, curators and galleriests are doing and thinking." They also run a pretty cool website and the contents of this is reflected in the quarterly publication. The whole inside is a one colour print and looks pretty epic, in my opinion. Nice one.
Hot & Cool
Today I got "Hot & Cool". It is Alice Goddard's magazine. The layout and design is cool, and the contents is pretty hot. With the perfect quantity of content and brilliant art direction it makes for an ace publication.
Nobrow Launch
This week I went to the launch for issue 6 of Nobrow's magazine, which is created alongside their small publications.
If you don't know Nobrow, well I think you should because they produce some of the most beautiful publications in London, in my opinion. I'm a bit of a zine enthusiast and a sucker for colour prints - so obviously discovering Nobrow was a happy day. The publications showcase lots of fantastic illustrators and graphic artists, check the list by clicking here. Their shop and studio is on Great Eastern St and is totally worth popping into, even if you don't decide to buy something.

The launch for issue 6 of the magazine was @ Jaguar Shoes. Showcasing artwork from the new issue and also screening films from neat illustrators+animators. The space was transformed beautifully, in my opinion.
Below is a really neat animation by Joe Mann that was on display at the launch.

A couple of years back I picked up the best magazine from a newsagent in nyc called "Me magazine". The issue I picked up was centered all around Paul Gondry. Here is what they say about themselves ...
"Me Magazine is an independent publication founded in 2004 devoted to creative individuals. Each issue explores the life of a guest editor and their circle of friends. It was founded to support, document, and get to know the people in the creative community who we admire."
Personally, I think I am a super nosy person. So this magazine is so great to get an insight into people and I think it is so great how much input the person who the issue is centered around has into the outcome. And also it is very insightful. Would definitely recommend it!
