So, there's been a lot of talk lately about iPads, the death of print media and so on. You are probably sick of hearing about such things. Fair enough. BUT. To give a very nice local magazine credit, please look at the latest issue of Patterns of Creative Aggression.

Don't be scared off by the serious title, or slightly austere design. This mag will show you more good risograph printing where that cover came from and inform you about inspiring creative things going on locally and afar - in a way that frenetic blog-hopping cannot. Inside you will find articles on contemporary artists (the UK's Graham Hudson and locals Jen Berean and Pat Foster) that, unlike a lot of writing on this subject, are accessible and make you want to check out the work (shame the mag doesn't come with an exhibition).

There is photography by Justin Guilbert (he of the wolves fact) and Moises Saman. Then there's a piece on the tireless creative exploits of the Murphy Bros., and a freewheeling interview with Wooooo Magazine's (and ThreeThousand's NYC connect) Jason Crombie. Just who are these people and what is their deal? See, that's the great thing about magazines. Curated discovery. Viva la print!
