Issue 01: Chewing on Life

In our very first issue, we were lucky to have such great artists submitting, chewing, believing in the task at hand. Over time, it became apparent that the theme we had playfully picked was richer and more satisfying than we first knew. For it just so happens that Chewing on Life occurs at the end of a pier, is as real as a cow’s cud, as big as the blues and The Classics, as particular as a well-made pie and as substantial as the communion table.

To create is to chew. To believe is to chew. Take and eat. And cheers to a good meal.
