When a group of talented designers and artists come together and collaborate, sometimes great things happen - and in this case it did with the new alt-magazine Cry Havoc.
Alisha, the zine’s fashion editor, best described it to me as a photo guide to alternative lifestyles, and at the same time strive to bring an indepth side into the alternative community. The launch issue covered a range of fashion from designer Eirik Aswang, rockabilly DIY clothing from Rockin Bones, Reset Couture’s 80’s inspired line and others. Also featured is a Q+A with alt-model Veronica Van Sant. The next issue is due out in December and will feature tattooed models, tattoo inspired accessories and the culture in general.
Starting in 2010 Cry Havoc will run quarterly. At the moment, the first issue is available to view and download in PDF form and (in future issues) will be available to purchase a printed copy. Check it out!!

Hopefully most of you have passed through an amazing little site called Gorey Details. If not please do yourself a favor and take a peek and browse the collection of dark and unusual curiosities.
Julia, the site’s owner, started the website about 9-years ago and it began as a place dedicated to Edward Gorey merchandise, but branched out shortly after to include Tim Burton and Alice themed items such as postcards and rubber stamps. The name itself is from a play based on a few Gorey stories and fit perfectly. The site today is much more than Edward Gorey or Tim Burton. Artbooks by Mark Ryden, Coraline action figures, vintage Art Nouveau prints, zombie patches, Alchemy jewlery, comics, Halloween themed items and the list goes on.
It’s like a painting I’m constantly working on - adding more detail to it, always searching for another shade of black.
The site serves as Julia’s creative/artistic outlet and labour of love. Check it out! Be warned though, you may be there a little while!
