Here it is! Limited Edit[ION] #2. For the next few issues we’ll be producing a shirt collaboration with an artist we’ve profiled in the magazine. Our second release features the artwork of Michael DeForge. Check it out…

In an ocean full of debris, a polar bear with burning fur balances atop a corroded floating fridge and a red gas can. Flaming objects fall from the sky into arctic water where icebergs are a distant memory. Saints Preserve Us, a painting by artist Martin Wittfooth, is a scene from the worst collective nightmares [...]

On the cover this month is Karin Dreijer Andersson. Though her name may not roll off your tongue, you probably more familiar with her as one half of The Knife (the other have is her brother Olof Dreijer) or as a solo artist performing under the [...]

[REC] is easily one of the scariest movies of the millennium. The sequel, [REC]2, is even scarier. You’re forgiven if you haven’t caught [REC] yet. It is, after all, a low budget Spanish horror film that never had North American distribution. [REC] was a film festival darling, though. So much so that the rights to [...]

Let’s face it: the most whip-necking metal fan can be pretty annoying with his or her (rarely her) musical taste. If the prick doesn’t hear enough blast-beats he/she will usually go on his or her favourite band’s message board and chastise them for selling out. What am I talking about exactly? Anal music fans with [...]

On a recent trip to California I found myself eating lunch at In-N-Out Burger. As we rounded a bend on the 101 its smart yellow arrow soared into view and we raced into the parking lot, stomachs gurgling with hunger. For someone who likes to consider herself more of a Michael Pollan than a Queen [...]

GWAR is a theatrical thrash metal band, formed in a former milk bottling plant by a group of art students in Richmond, Virginia in 1985. They’ve been nominated for two Grammys, seen multiple line-up changes, been shot at, arrested, sponsored by golf companies and charged at by skinheads, all the while spewing chunky fake blood, [...]

Maybe we give jewelry-makers too much credit. It’s no stretch to make desirable objects out of diamonds and platinum, is it? But to craft luxury from the most common medium—plain, simple paper—is an impressive, super-modern skill.
And one that comes in handy when you’re a couple of young designers in Paris—not exactly bathing in bling, but [...]

Perched above that little slab of Main Street where Mount Pleasant greets the Downtown Eastside, a young man is working (and drinking) industriously amid a camp of artists known as the Cartalera Talent House. It is here in his ghoulish grotto that Danny Vermette awakens the misunderstood souls of a paradise lost: creatures furry, frozen [...]

Last year’s Halloween editor’s letter about the time I waterboarded a friend of mine for fun upset a few people. It was a joke, okay. No one at this magazine has ever drowned anyone and me and my friends don’t physically torture each other for fun. Emotionally? Well that’s a different story. So this year [...]

I first meet Cass McCombs in a dressing room. I have a terrible cold, watery eyes and a clouded, weird, fever head. His first sentence after “I’m Cass” is “Give me a minute to get changed into my outfit.” He returns 25 seconds later wearing a round straw hat and a denim jacket with a [...]

It is often said around our office that anyone who does art inspired by John Carpenter films is an immediate and lifelong friend of this magazine. Well, Mr. Tyler Stout, welcome to the fold! You might already recognize Tyler’s style as he did the artwork for the Flight of the Conchords album. However, among print [...]

We all have our things that we’re addicted to and at this time of year it’s usually those tri-colour candy corn kernels that start making their way into the stores for Halloween. This year you can save your teeth and get addicted to this great graphic skull tee courtesy of British streetwear line, Addict. Kindly [...]
