Plazm #28 – The Luck Issue
Plazm ist ein Design- und Kultur-Magazin aus Portland, das ich gerade in die Hände bekam. Die Nummer 28 ist mit knapp 150 Seiten die dickste Ausgabe, die das Magazin bisher hervorgebracht hat. Die Inhalte zeigen die Vielseitigkeit des Mags: Interviews, Zeichnungen, Poster und Packaging Art...
Plazm gibt es inzwischen seit immerhin 15 Jahren. Gratulation zu dieser Leistung. Ich wünsche noch ein „langes und gesundes Leben“ sowie Euch allen einen guten Start in 2007!!!
