WEAK - By Kelly Rakowski

"WEAK is a 1 page, letter sized, b+w photocopied zine made by KR in a studio overlooking the East River. Each time KR visits her studio she completes an issue. All of WEAK's collages are built from an old book of etchings found at a used book store entitled 'AMSTERDAM'. WEAK is inspired by KR's life and dreams."

The Artist's Guide to Making Money

An exciting, decidedly eccentric, relentlessly well-crafted, and not without hope of being lucrative venture — The Artist's Guide series. The Artist's Guide is a topic-driven art journal produced
by Matt Cassity and Sam Spratlin.

This is a book/magazine full of inspiring, self-deprecating, insightful, intelligent and humorous creative discourse. Buy it for the words, buy it for the pictures... or both! Not by a Cranbrook grad, but the team behind "The Artist's Guide" certainly deserve your support for this exciting creative endeavor.

XX Magazine Launched

Karen L Dunn and Katya Moorman (2D '04), partners in their own design studio Studio2k, began XXmagazine to help fill in what they describe as the "exposure gap" between men and women in the creative fields. The first issue features Cranbrook graduates Michelle Hinebrook, Cas Holman, and KnoWear (Peter Allen + Carla Ross Allen) as well as Troika Ranch (Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello).

Each subsequent issue will feature artists who are known personally and recommended
by the artists/creatives in the current issue. Eventually XXmagazine will create a linked network of artists and additionally host events which will foster interplay and cross-disciplinary communal dialogue.
