Peel Zine #1


This zine is so rad (yup rad). Artwork/pastework/posters and such from all sorts of projects make up the big part of it, and the last couple of pages explain what the projects are all about. Now, for the added bonus, (and the name Peel, I'd imagine), Peel comes in a little bag with stickers from the projects in it's pages.
In this issue; I Threw Up; a sticker campaign aimed at changing the meaning of images we're forced to see everyday.
Obey; 'an experiment in Phenomenology', meant to make people stop and think about what Obey could possibly be about, since the intention of the project is not obvious.
Visualsubmission; 'The name Visualsubmission has no meaning', the entire project is meant to cause people to look for it's meaning.
25; a metaphor for the way most people look at the world, and, no doubt, themselves. Using 2 and 5 because they are reflections of each other, yet are separate and individual on their own, this project is about looking at the world, ourselves, each other in a different light.
Robots Will Kill; a collection of creativity, from graffiti to t-shirt designs to one very cool radio.
DA!; 'an artificial advertising campaign', meant to catch and hold people's attention without telling them why.
We Are At War; with mass media, and all the crap they try to shove down our throats.
Bomit; striving to give the world free stickers.
Evoker; not sure how to describe this other than wonderful art.
Geldz; Woo! Send in your stickers, get other people's stickers. Share the love and spread the word.
