Issue 7 of Shrapnel is up here for your enjoyment. Regular viewers will be well aware of our struggle in throwing away any kind of printed magazines and catalogues but if we must, we’ve decided to squeeze a bit more life out of them by drawing all over them instead of in notebooks. We also have a new project on the way, again designed to soothe the mind and get a bit more use of everything we throw out. The new project should be ready soon, sneak preview here…
Happy New Year! We have just discovered that we didn’t alert people to the release of episode 6 of Shrapnel. See it here.
(Issue 7 lands later this week).
Available now Hoarder 13 is the second instalment of our swing tag collection. We’ve been cash strapped this year so we’ve not bought too much but that hasn’t stopped us snaffling some fine examples of these humble little tags from friends and families.
Issues 12 and 11 WILL hit over the holidays OR at the very start of the new year – promise. Happy Christmas !

Full story here on the very, very excellent Paul Gorman is…site
Currently in the final stages of completion is issue 10 of Hoarder – dedicated to a box of old Motorsports magazines I collected a couple of years back for a work project. Mainly picked up from local car boots, I’m not a motorsports nut or anything just love old magazines (but you must have gathered that already). Hopefully we’ll be posting it up online next week. Hoarder 11 is also on the way, a collection of fashion trend books.
Apologies for the slackness in posting here – work has at last been busy and we’ve been working hard on our other site on subcultures. Don’t forget to check that out here.
This looks like being a cracking day (and night) out. Organised by the very cool people at Sideburn magazine – more info & tickets here
The latest instalment of one of our favourite online blogs/zines is available now. Check out the very excellent Yr Heart Out and download a fine document called Ghosts of Midnight here now

I think we are just about there with out re-worked site. Apologies to anyone who received any strange updates via the rss and thank you for your patience. As promised months ago new hoarders and shrapnels (as well as a couple of new projects) are in work and on the way.
