Seam is launching!

Seam Magazine's The Start-Ups Issue

Huzzah! Seam is here! We thought we’d give all you super swell followers a sneak peek of our cover as thanks for being such great chums. The photography for the cover is by our editor Linsey Rendell and the illustration is by Karen Wallis (also issue one’s designer) and Lucy Dalzell.

After eight super busy months of planning, writing, photography, designing and all those sneaky business bits that go into setting up a magazine, we’re finally launching our first issue this weekend! The delightful folk over at Brew are hosting our afternoon-to-evening celebratory soiree, so there’ll be plenty of tea, coffee, cocktails and other intriguing beverages on tap. There’ll also be an array of homebaked goods that would impress the slippers off your nanna.

Three young Brisbane artists – Clare Barrett, Jaclyn Bates and Holly Riding – have put together nine artworks for your eyeballing pleasure, recreating images from issue one in their own styles. And Brisbane band Inland Sea’s latest EP Fortune will be available for purchase before it’s even hit record store shelves!

We’re also holding a raffle with first prize an iPad2! And there's also a bunch of handmade goodies for ladies and lads to be won – tickets are 3 for $5.

And of course you’ll all have first dibs on Seam’s The Start-Ups Issue, retailing for $15. Wizzer!

Come along and support our little creative team at Seam's launch. Brew has a capacity limit of 120, so make sure you rock up early to nab a sofa or a stool amongst this highly coveted creative event. À bientôt!

Never before have we seen such a beautiful and diverse range of work until we stumbled upon illustrator and comics artist, Jillian Tamaki.

Based in Brooklyn, the talented artist has established quite a name for herself and has even produced work for the illustrious New York Times.

For the past few months Jillian has been working with Penguin Classics to design and embroider book covers for famous classics - Emma, The Secret Garden and Black Beauty.

The books are set to come out next month and can be bought from Penguin Classics and other selected sellers, we can’t wait!

Jillian also has an impressive portfolio of work, featuring illustrations for magazines, newspapers, websites and books. Visit her website and sketch-blog to see some more amazing pieces!
