DRAIN Issue 02, an art magazine composed entirely of visuals and edited by Ed Davis.
DRAIN is a biannual image-based publication edited and designed by Ed Davis. Each issue is conceived as a collectible object made to inspire, printed in limited runs and made to be experienced offline: tactile, focused, and free from the noise of the algorithm.
Curated as a series of visual essays, each edition showcases a global mix of artists, designers, and image-makers. DRAIN is a serial project for those who love and value print.
268 pages / W:210 × H:280 × D:20.6mm / Offset printing / Perfect binding
