Thanks Uppercase!

In the mail today was Uppercase #9, always a treat, but this issue is just a little more special for me.

Thanks Janine. You made my week!

I'm trying really hard to buy less magazines since Geoff brought to my attention that I spend an average of $430 on magazines a year! (!!!!!!!!)

I'm narrowing my buys to the absolute minimum and of course, still supporting small press. This means I'll be grabbing issue 8 of Uppercase magazine, which was released yesterday.

Yay small press!

You go brother!

I have to share this. It's too cute!

I got an email from my brother saying he found a post on his art on Beautiful/Decay.com (as in the magazine). He found it while googling his name. I'm sure we're all guilty of this!

I Want

Issue #1 of Anthology magazine by Anh-Minh and Meg Mateo Ilasco. I just placed my order. I love small press mags!

Magcloud

Magcloud - 50% off print issues today till 1pm PST

I checked my inbox this morning and everything is Black Friday this, Black Friday that. Boring, boring... Delete, delete. (Hey, I'm an online shopper, I get a lot of e-commerce emails.)

One sale did strike my fancy - Sweet Paul mentioned on his blog that print issues of his digital magazine will be 50% off on Magcloud. It'd be nice to have the full colour issues since I've printed out a few pages in b&w, tried out a handful of his featured recipes, and want to try more. I'll be stocking up on all 3 SP issues and Lonny #6.

Thanks Uppercase for my recent obsession with Christopher Stott's work.


UPDATE: Prints of Chris's exhibition this past June can be purchased on his etsy store.

Reading is Believing

The perfect gift/ stocking stuff for the artsy person in your life. Uppercase - the "magazine for the creative and curious" is based out of Calgary.

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a magazine called Uppercase. I stopped by Good Egg last night and picked up Issue #7. I'm thrilled to say, this magazine does not disappoint. I couldn't help but be inspired by what I read in the editors note and the Community blurb. I had to put the issue down before I stayed up all night reading it from cover to cover.

Uppercase's content covers a little something for everyone - crafts, art, photography, type, books, writers, collections of peoples stuff. It's such a great read!

Personally, their only shortcoming is they don't focus on enough Canadian content. As a Canadian reading a beautifully original Canadian publication, I would really like to see more featured artists from our country. Otherwise, Uppercase is perfect.
