KING BROWN ISSUE 8

King Brown Magazine was kind enough to send me a copy of their latest issue, Issue 8, and I have to say it’s one hell of an art magazine. The issue arrives in a silk-screened “Brown Bag” (Designed by Mike Giant.) which contains the magazine and several goodies (A sticker and a make-it-yourself cardboard skateboard.)

“Kingbrown is a distinctively designed magazine, sitting somewhere between a book, a magazine and an art zine. As a super limited edition periodical, delivered inside a hand silkscreened brown bag, sewn closed with artist stickers and posters included, Kingbrown remains different from any other publication.” - Klughaus Gallery

In this issue - along with fantastic photography and artwork - are interviews with a number of brilliant artists including Mike Giant, Dave Kinsey, Grotesk, Andy Jenkins, Jay Howell and the list goes on and on. Produced in Australia this magazine is a rare treat and worth the cost. Find more information, details and buy the mag here.

SUPERSONIC REVIEWS: HIGH LINE

High Line: The Inside Story of New York City’s Park in the Sky offers a intriguing look into the development and design of the iconic, beautiful park by the project’s co-founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond. The book, perfectly designed by Pentagram, holds the story of how the High Line came to be, from the original elevated railway on Manhattan’s west side until it’s reclamation and urban renewal as an elevated park. With over 250 pages of photographs, High Line, is certainly attention worthy. But, perhaps, the book’s most wonderful attribute is the artistic and design sensitive ideals that David and Hammond held so dearly in the production of the park.
