I’m pretty much a magazine junkie. For the ones that provide superior content anyway. Like Milan’s Pig magazine. As much as I like the immediacy of the web, nothing can replace the experience of walking up to a magazine rack, surveying the field, finding something that catches your discriminating eye and getting lost inside the […]

In August 2008 Chiara Fumai spent 31 days of imprisonment in Cell A1C1 of the Oostereiland Penitentiary of Hoorn. She didn’t get busted for something. It was part of this art project called 13 Isolations that took place from August 1-29. The basic idea was to lock up 13 really different artists (cultures, artistic disciplines, […]

Designer Yu-hun Kim has come up with the perfect way for you to protect your porn magazines (if you still do the deed to print, grandpa). I know that while I’m in my study and engaged in leisurely reading of my copy of War and Peace—in Russian, mind you—I like to keep things nice and […]

We’re admitted magazine fiends over here at LIAS, and it’s with great sadness that we’ve watched many of our favorite titles submerge in the last year (RIP Swindle, BPM, Portfolio, … but good riddance, Blender).

Hard to imagine this is from 1981. David Cole of the San Francisco Examiner must feel like Nostradamus when watching this on his iPhone, patiently waiting in line to pick up his unemployment check. “We’re not in it to make money – we’re probably not going to lose a lot, but we aren’t going to […]

No matter how many designers, photographers, writers or artists you have helping you, the idea of putting together a magazine in a 24-hour period is pretty crazy. I’m damn impressed. I’ve pulled some all nighters in my time, but this is a different beast all together. The team at 24Hour Magazine didn’t just layout the […]

The new issue of Arkitip is out and the man behind all the freshness is Shepard Fairey. Shepard hasn’t collaborated Arkitip magazine since issue edition No. 0003. It’s not like Arkitip has had any problems selling their books since that day, but this one is gonna to go crazy quick. It’s pretty historic—especially considering Shepard’s […]
