Static 3!

This issue came out in March, sometime around Canadian Music Week -- which makes this post embarrassingly outdated, especially by today's social networking/internet standards. But I'm posting these anyway! (Stop me.)
And because why not, let's start with what the back of the zine says:

Two of my favourite pieces from the zine are Tom's and Aviva's:

"The Cartoon" by Tom Lowery

"Life According to Edward Gorey" by Aviva Cohen

And here's my little contribution of tweets:

Issue 4 is coming out during NXNE. Stay tuned!

I've started collecting these old Penguins the first time I went to the Trinity College book sale.
Since then, I've been adding more to my meagre collection.

Most of these were found stowed away in boxes, on dusty shelves in thrift shops around Oxford and London.

Zoetrope: All Story & copies of Static!

I have never been so completely enamoured with a magazine before this latest issue of Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope: All Story.
I'm so glad I picked it up out of impulse. Most spontaneous purchases, specially when it comes to magazines, don't always end up being worthwhile, methinks. But this definitely is.

This issue pairs horror stories by Ryu Murakami, Alexandra Kleeman, etc. with designs by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. (Whaaat, I know.)
It is a perfect blend of fashion and (mostly) contemporary literature -- a literary Lula, essentially.
