DRAIN ISSUE 01
This is the commemorative Issue 01 of DRAIN, a newly launched art magazine composed entirely of visuals and edited by Ed Davis.
DRAIN aims to inspire and motivate people, especially the younger generation, to break away from the algorithms that consume so much of our time through screens and social media and engage in creative activities offline. You can enjoy the works of artists, brands and labels from all over the world, selected by Ed's discerning eye.
This work features Ed's typical selection of artists such as Nick Atkins and Weirdo Dave, who are currently designers for Supreme, as well as the late reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry, Jack Bool, who has just released a new photo book from Same Paper, and from Japan, Essential Store and Motoyuki Daifu, who are well known for their silent auctions. In addition, the album features a wide variety of cross-genre works, including the discography of London record label The Trilogy Tapes and footage from a show at the Women's History Museum.
It's a stimulating and intriguing book that feels like you're peering inside Ed's mind.
