New Ferocious

More great work from Ferocious Quarterly. And it's all about survival, which really makes me miss camping. 

Here's how it came to be, according to FQ:

"Be Prepared" sent our contributors on their way with one word as a loose token of inspiration: “SURVIVAL.”
The written words in this issue were prepared a little different than usual. Our writers were given preliminary sketches, rough concepts and illegible notes from our contributing illustrators. They concepted their stories in unison with their assigned collaborators—dueling artists, refining a work together until the final pieces were complete. What we’re left with are stories accompanied by illustration and yet inspired first by illustration.

Contributors include to of my favorite illustrators/letterers/people I follow on Twitter and talk about like I know : Dan Cassaro and Erik Marinovich.

And, hello, it comes with a merit badge.

To see a video of issue no. 3, head over to Ferocious. All good things.

Plus, issues 1 & 2.
P.S. use the code "BEPREPARED" to get issue 1 free when you buy all 3!

Ferocious Quarterly

I love Twitter. I know people can tend to tweet some pretty boring things like pictures of their lunch (and I'm a guilty party) but Twitter has become such an amazing platform when used properly. Just this morning, I learned via my Twitter feed about a house fire in Detroit, that Jonathan Franzen keeps weed in his freezer and about this awesome publication called Ferocious Quarterly.

Ferocious Quarterly combines the work of illustrators, graphic artists and writers to create a nice kind-of quarterly publication (according to their website, the folks at Ferocious decided Quarterly sounded better than here-and-there). I am always a fan of all-things Mid-West and it just so happens FQ is curated by a group of friends in Indiana. So far there have been two issues of FQ and work for the third is being collected.

The covers really do the art inside justice. To see photos of the inside of each issue and for more information on FQ, click through the jump.
