Productofboy / Vicky Miller / Cristina Nualart / Andrew Gilmore / TAPE / Javier Muñoz / Elaine Wilson
Brrrrrrrr! Come in! Leave your umbrella and wellies at the door! Welcome to February’s blankpages – your digital blanket of creative warmth.
Our cover art this month is by Productofboy, one of the exhibitors at Blank Media Collective’s Neck of the Woods exhibition at Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester. They are a group of artists from Newcastle and Manchester, exploring perceptions of environment and urban space utilising text, video, photography, sound, electronics, installation composition and performance
Andrew Gilmore returns to our pages this month with a short story – a strange journey through a paranoid imaginative landscape, coupled with bespoke illustration from Michael Thorp.
‘iFear’ by TAPE is this month’s mp3 – an up-tempo, hook driven beast of a track that should get your heart racing.
Poetry this month is singularly female - Vicky Miller and Cristina Nualart unabashedly discuss loneliness and PMT, and our spotlight this month features Javier Muñoz, a joyfully eclectic illustrator and artist based in Spain. Alongside his work, he talks to us about inspiration and his creative process.
Blank Media Presents… is previewed by Elaine Wilson, a writer and music blogger based in Liverpool, coupled with an interview with one of the featured bands at February’s gig, Klaus Kinski.
All this and more in your monthly cultural companion, blankpages. Check it out!
