Illustration Inspiration

December 1st, 2011

I’m a little late to the fun but my head’s been a little buried in the production of “another” magazine… ahem :) Speaking of which, Pure Green Magazine’s first printed issue ever is flying through the presses as we speak! I can’t wait to hold a copy in my hands…

I stumbled on NICE Magazine last week and immediately got lost in it. Not only is it a design and illustration magazine, but the current issue is about FOOD. I love it when good food meets good design. Mmmmm. Nice to see Ed Nacional and Kelli Anderson in there, and to discover a few new faces as well – I love Ben Johnston’s laser engraved cutting boards, Glasfurd & Walker’s recent work, and who can resist Linus Kraemer’s 360 degrees of cake?

Read the issue here, but be sure to grab a snack first.

Pure Green Magazine is coming to a shop near you, folks!! That’s right, just a little more than a year after its premiere issue, Pure Green will be leaping off your computer screen and into your hot little hands. As you can imagine, our team is incredibly excited and we’re all working hard to prepare our up-coming issue. Our editor-in-chief Celine has been tirelessly working out every single detail – and believe me, there are a lot of details. Yesterday morning, the doorbell rang and I eagerly ripped open a long-awaited special delivery… here’s a tiny sneak peek!!

I am absolutely thrilled to be able to flip through one of the first printed copies of Pure Green Magazine – so much creativity, hard work and fabulous, original content has been poured in. I’m really proud to be a part of it.

I realize that, being a designer, I tend to get all worked up about this kind of thing – but the paper, the binding, the finish… it’s beautiful. And, of course, environmentally friendly! There are some kinks to work out, and many tasks to get done before the next issue is ready to go, but pretty soon Pure Green will be able to keep you company everywhere… the cafĂ©, the bus, the laundromat, the doctor’s office… the bathtub (with a glass of wine)!

Just call it the little magazine that could.
