expand review foreword here), but actually locating the zine has been a difficult task. Fatal, the eleventh issue, comes out of its xeroxed exoskeleton, and gets reborn as this 12" x 9" softcover book. It's actually an anthology of the series thus far and it's so potent (and brain popping), you should only digest a couple pages per day (equally to savor and to protect your mind). Recommended. -the mgmnt

expand review boxset, (each book featuring art from each continent) truly encompassing their idea of a global street culture. It's fascinating the differences and (numerous) similarities shared by people in the culture through their artwork. It's actually no surprise that we're all pretty similar in what influences us these days (thanks to blogs, interweb, and incredibly easy access to information). The work displayed is from the cream of the global crop - influential artists/designers you've probably heard of or seen (though you might not know it). Artists and designers featured include - Maiden Noir, HUF, jeffstaple, Altamont, Stussy, Gravis, DC, and Obey from America; Fergadelic/Tonite, Gimmie Five, David Ersser, Stefan Marx, Studio Whitebox, Scrawl Collective, Solebox, and Fenchurch from Europe; Adapter, Taro, Apollo and Coarsetoys from Asia; Sneaker Freaker, Modular, Schwipe, and Josh Petherick from Australia, photos by Foley of Africa, and DIY from Antarctica(!). Books measure 180 x 180 x 35mm. Definitely a lot of material to soak in here. -snackmaster
