‘Lubricate reality with dreams’

The second issue of the brilliant, independent journal of literary and artistic offcuts, collected from the leftovers and scraps of other projects and jobs. 

Put together by Rod Stanley, late of Good Trouble, and novelist Mark Blacklock, and designed by Richard Turley (Nuts, Civilization) and Julia Schaffer (Nuts). Includes writing by Kirsty Allison, Richard Milward and Alice-Louise MacGillivray.

The use of black, red and metallic gold inks really sets off the plain/almost clumsy page design—the entire thing has been laid out using Microsoft Word’s limited layout options.
