Idlewild Zine on Issuu

I made a zine a couple of years ago for one of my favourite albums '100 Broken Windows' Idlewild's 10th anniversary (see here). Recently someone got a tattoo! of one of the images from the zine! So I thought I'd release the zine online for all to see, so here it is on Issuu.

 

If you want a printed copy which has a hand-stitched binding, email me for more details!

 

There's so many great magazines that use Issuu, and they're all free to view! Here's a few of my faves: huck, little white lies, oh comely and refuelled.

What online mags and zines are you reading?

Stories from the Sea for Heart & Lungs Zine

Here's my submission for the front cover of the next issue 'Stories from the Sea' of the Heart & Lungs Zine. It didn't make it but this amazing octopus did and there's loads of more fab ones in the gallery, can't wait to see the final issue.

I'm in OWT Creative Zine- #4 'Direction'

I'm in the new zine by OWT Creative, it's Issue 4 and all contributors responded to the word 'Direction'. I based mine on my drawing 'Fishguard and Pembroke Map Circle' seen below.

 

Which is a circle over just the land areas made up of thousands of pen dots. I thought this drawing lent itself to 'Direction' as yes on the surface it's a map which can help you out with directions, but I've put it through a process and taken it in a certain direction by choosing and deciding which way to take it.

Also by doubling the image and flipping it, it makes the two sides link up and create a new image, a new direction; black holes create a central white space and are interrupted by cracks or are they estuaries? The coastlines point to the spine and the roads take me onto the next page and back to the same yet different place. Anyways left or right? black or white? up or down? which direction will you take?

OWT Creative is a design collective based in Manchester and showcases up and coming creative talent in the North West. The zine is in a limited edition of 125, has a hand-screened cover and several other pages hand-screened as well. It's on sale now on their website and at selected places in the North West such as Magma Books in Manchester! Can't wait to get myself a copy!

Idlewild: 100 Broken Windows Zine

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a few shots of my first zine! It's for the 10th anniversary of Idlewild's '100 Broken Windows' Album and features the first & last line of lyrics for each song with an image drawn in the time taken to listen to that song! It's one of my favourite albums and I can't believe it's been 10 years since I first heard it. I've only made a couple to start with and I printed it off my computer and stitched it together.

 If you're a Idlewild fan and would like one or even if you're not an Idlewild fan and would like one get in touch!

Doodlezine 4: Imaginary Worlds

Here's my newly discovered planet for Doodlezine 4, the theme was Imaginary worlds. I thought I'd keep it simple and just discover a new planet, it's name is Zegbadon 4 and is populated by the Zegbays! You can buy the zine here.
