This month's subscriber cover story is an article I wrote on London artist INSA. The chosen cover image was too racy to put on the newsstand cover, because I guess Christian moms in Kansas don't want their kids buying mags with boobs covered in dripping pink paint at Borders, so we put in on the subscriber edition.
INSA was a very cool guy to meet and got me thinking about female representation in the media. It was nice to hear that he had a cohesive and pointed message behind his sexual imagery, as I think a lot of people (our readership included) might dismiss his work as fetish or even porn. But really most of it, ironically, is far more tame than the cover image.
It's still been great to have to attach a 'disclaimer' to the cover when sending my dad the new issue to read.
