With five time capsule-like issues under their belts, the duo have self-published hundreds of artist works with the aim to share an 'accurate insight' into the city's alternative scene, leaving nothing out in the process.
The expansive joy of this editorial inclusivity manifests itself in the wide-ranging content of each 32-page issue, jam-packed with 'an eclectic mix of comics, poetry, writing, illustrations and photography.'
Maya and Sydney are inspired by the production methods of 70s punk fanzines, giving the magazine a distinct DIY aesthetic. Despite complete open door submissions policy, production methods had specific constraints.
These restrictions gave their broad range of content a uniform home and 'some sort of system to work within', facilitating efficient production in a very independent, hands-on process. 'The two of us are the printing press. We print, fold, and staple together all 300 issues with love.'
