Unfortunately Alan and his printing company felt the pinch of the recession and weren’t around to do this issue and had to find someone new. We printed far too many of these - they are literally coming out of our ears. Please do take one if you want. A really, really, really famous - probably the most famous artist in the world contributed to this one and then at the last minute asked if we could put their name as Anonymous in the contributors list. Why not play a fun game of guessing who that person is.

We stuck with the previous Alan for the printing of this one as he did an excellent job. We also held a launch party on the hottest day of the year in a basement gallery on Leonard St and EVERYBODY got so hot their make up slid off.

You won’t believe this but this was printed by a different person who was also called Alan. We’d gone back to 120gsm uncoated paper here.

Punching Above Their Weight

Featuring Paul Insect, Antony Micallef, Saffron Hunt, Pure Evil, Dan Wilton, Kim Taylor Bennett, Prism, Civilian, Alex Dobbin, Matthew Green, Andrew Rae, Lauren Berry, Cameron Cook, INKIE, Ian Stevenson and Kelsey Brookes. 

This was printed by a friendly guy called Alan (different one to before) he said he’d added a ‘bit extra’ to them for free, which sounded cool but the extra was he’d printed the cover on 400gsm card, which has always made this issue kinda weird to read.

From The Kicks To The Whips

Contributors for this one included Antony Micallef, Arofish, Dan Hillier, David Shrigley, Dolly Demoratti, Jeremyville, Ian Stevenson, John Slade, Joe Doran, Kelsey Brookes, Matthew Green, Andrew Rae, Paul Insect, Paul Sethi, Pure Evil and Mysterious Al.

This was weird one. A friend worked in the repro dept at the HSBC headquarters and stayed late to print a load off for us and when we picked them up he’d shrunk all the artwork by 25%. So Josh took them to Bestival and gave them out for free. Then we had to wait a while and get them printed at the proper size. We’re sure HSBC never noticed the paper stock going down.

Lucky Dip Or Lucky Trip

A collaboration with We Are… Collective, this featured work from Antony Micallef, Kelsey Brookes, David Shrigley, Vanessa Lam, Ian Stevenson, Holly Wales, John Slade, Andy Welland, Andrew Rae, Matthew Green, Tim Rasbash and Andrew James Jones. 

We had a proper launch night with this one at Notting Hill Arts Club. For some reason it’s printed on a silk paper.

This one was printed by a proper printer in some arches under London Bridge. He was probably called Alan. Most printers seem to be.

Steal It

This was drunkenly photocopied and stapled in a hot windowless room when the bosses had gone home.
