A Love Token - Dead Wrong
A beautiful black and white zine with a heavy urban industrial feel. Trains and railways, fences and graffiti litter the pages and are just some of the many great observations taken into consideration with this book. The slim self-cover is very slick and there are quite a few full photo spreads within. It came with some great extras that include a patch, some stickers and a button. ALT really knows how to make their releases special and this one is no different. View their zines here.

Summer Of Shred - Issue #2
From Jamie Moore and Joe Piehler comes this summer adventure themed zine on newsprint that contains 3 articles and more than 50 photographs. The format alone is very fun to look through, having to unfold it in it’s entirety to fully grasp everything that’s packed into the zine. The content spans the country, from skating to shows, and from hiking to road trips. It comes in a hand numbered edition of 1000, and it’s only $5 so grab yours here.

Alexander Alekseenko - 84/20 seconds
This is a 48 page documentation of life after an abrupt transition into Kiev, Ukraine, with heavy focus on the obscure and out of the norm aspects of the city. Chronicling the streets and other oddities found along the way over a two month period, the title of this publication is actually a metaphor representing movement and stillness as it the allotted time for car and pedestrian road crossing where Alexander lives. It comes in a limited edition of 20. Check it out here.

A Love Token - Illegal Angles
A collaboration zine with heavy focus on painted surfaces. In other words, graffiti. A journey that spans from not only simple tagging, but artistic expression by way of taking the illegal angle of using the world as a canvas; and entrapping those works in photographic form to then self publish and distribute so that it can be shared by those who would not pass by these walls, or watch as these trains pass by us. Available in black & white and color editions, as well as small 8.5”x5.5” or larger 8.5”x11” sizes. Zines will ship with various fold out posters/prints/stickers. Photos cited by Cardo. Buy yours here.
