Acclaim Magazine 21
On stands now, is issue 21 of Australia's Acclaim Magazine. This issue's theme is FRIENDS, and features an article about the perverbial best friend of man, including the coolest dog I've ever met, my faithful mate Pizza. Photos were contributed by another good friend, and talented photographer, Greg Bethmann, with a full page shot of me and "little man", plus two other awesome shots.
They really got the theme covered, as I also collaborated with another good friend, and Born Ugly co-founder Mickael Broth, on an essay about underground projects. Mike came through with a hilarious portratit of a local bozo, illustrating how the denser part of the population can screw up fun and waste hard work.
Other material in Issue 21, includes an interview between art icons Gary Panter and Todd James, a chat between Stones Throw art director Jeff Jank and comic artist Benjamin Marra, and much more…. Accalim is available in most bookstores, and you can find out more information at their site. http://acclaimmag.com/
