FREE HAMBURGER is a new kind of hi/lo-brow street press for Auckland. Issue #2 has just dropped out there so get your hands on it. Throwshapes caught up with the man behind the freeness for a couple of minutes this week:

Why photography?

I don't really know it just sort works for me. I don't usually try to take photos it kinda just happens.

Could you tell us about your concepts for 'Free Hamburger' and 'Chilli, Beef and Cheese' how did the idea come about to produce these publications?

The concepts behind Chilli be was just a insight into artist studios, bedroom and work spaces.

Free Hamburger is created by artists for the benefit of art and the street level consumer of art and fashion. It is committed to providing fresh and creative ideas, and exceptional content that is easily accessible to anyone and everyone.

The important focus of Free Hamburger is to reconstruct high level interpretations of fashion and art and release it at street level for no cost, and ultimately become a force for making creativity, art, and fashion more diegestible and relevant to the masses.

One good thing about the internet is that you don’t have to buy the magazines that exist on it to read them. Like CreatureMag. It’s just like any other awesome illustration/design mag only it is free and online and completely free of advertising.

Coming out of the UK, but awesome to people everywhere, CreatureMag is an assemblage of illustration and exhibitions around a central theme. This time, it’s FRIENDSHIP. Heart

Hey so when we were at the awesome, awesome, unbelievably cool Cross Street Zine Fair a while back we met the nice people who put together Potroast.

How many zine-makers are there really in New Zealand? Not tonnes. But the ones that we do have are amazing. Have you SEEN Neighbour Cats?

In other, vital Zine news, Potroast #4 is launching in Auckland early next week. This is the zine that will feature the winning drawing from the Zine Fair on the back of a macca’s fries bag. Totally can’t wait.

Check it out! Deets here.
