The RRR Project is dedicated to supporting art in surprising and accessible ways no matter what the medium is, “…we look around, see what we can do and take it upon ourselves to make it happen. Less talk, more action.”

Their gorgeous zine: 100 pages of recycled art, 6×9 inches, 2/3 in 2 color & 1/3 in CMYK, edition of 1000. $15 plus shipping.

After working on Proximity magazine, it’s especially important to me to support local & smaller publications because I know the extra amount of effort it takes to them pull off, particularly financially. And now there’s this week’s news that ID is folding, on top of all our other countess magazine friends that have folded in the last year or two. With each subsequent closing announcement, of course I cling further to my beloved small-time zines & mags. That’s why I got so excited when I heard about At Your Leisure which will be a series of 4 issues and sounds like it’s pretty much the same concept as a blog, but in that delectable print form… “it’s page after page of ideas, images, concepts, & colors. An homage to those that inspire and a desire to do the same. A visual train of thought. A celebration of individuals that live what they love…”

Are you drooling yet? Get yours here for 10 bones. Oh, did I mention it’s an edition of 250? So go NOW.

And in case you need some more publication love in your life, here are some of my most favorites:
Proximity, Pyramid Power, Featherproof books, Uppercase, Lumpen, New Work, Lines & Shapes, Pie Paper, Jettison, Glasses Glasses, Anorak, and Esopus. And better still, go to Quimby’s, Golden Age, or Printed Matter and find your own new ones.

Today’s tab is the most amazing New Work Magazine, issue #3. Every time I unearth this one I gasp because I forget how beautiful it is.

Here’s a small taste of some of the artists in the upcoming Proximity mag. This is by no means exhaustive, there’s plenty more to be seen once it drops. Which if all goes according to plan, will be sent to the printer…sometime soon… tonight…hopefully?? Keep your fingers crossed for us!

I just found this super hot art mag out of Canada, called Pyramid Power. Very impressed with the overall design, but I’m intrigued by the content and would love to sit down to read it & check out the featured artists. There’s a write up on Fecal Face that has more images, but the accompanying blurb unfortunately doesn’t discuss much on the actual content. Alas!

I think it’s great that longstanding publications are putting their archives online these days. Esquire’s covers found here via here.
