Content Update – Jope Cover

Jope has just finished an amazing cover in biro for issue 3. It’s so complex it hurts. For an idea of the style see the sketch below, which he used as a test. Imagine the complexity and style multiplied by 10 and you might be getting somewhere close. Thanks Jope.

Issue 3 Content Update – Asa Sporbert

In readiness for issue 3 we’ve got a sweet wallpaper collab lined up with one of its featured artists, Asa Sporbert. His work appeared in issue 1 as a feature called Ikonoklastik (see below). He hasn’t lost any of that psychadelic flavour, lots of which will be on display in issue 3. For the wallpaper he’s created Tunnel Vision, an ‘all seeing eye’ to rock on your desktop.

Make sure you grab the download from our homepage when issue 3 is released.
