One of the few artist to appear in the magazine more than once, Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood featured in both Issue 5 and Issue 26 – the earlier article being an insight into the artists process and work with the band and his artistic relationship with singer Thom Yorke, whilst the second saw us take a closer look at his epic map prints with stone litho studio IDEM Paris. Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum have been showing the fruits of the pair’s labours in the brilliant exhibition THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, which has now been extended until 18th January. I went to see it last week and it was ace to see their sketchbooks, huge paintings, linocuts and etchings, and to see how they fuse their ideas to make original artworks.

I’ve been a big fan of Jeroen Smeet’s project The Jaunt for some time now – having bought the book, followed the social media and tried to use the idea in my own practice when travelling. A crowdfunding project where supporters back a print/artist/trip where the artwork is yet to be made. The artist then goes on a ‘jaunt’ and makes work inspired by the location and the time spent there. “There really have been so many interesting trips. From a treehouse community in the rainforest of Costa Rica, to an artist visiting Copenhagen and being allowed behind the scenes of his favourite designer,” says Jeroen. I’m pleased to say that we’ve explored this great project in our coming edition of the magazine.
