The Illustrated Ape - Photographers of the Urban Apocalypse

The publication has traditionally focused on illustration, so for our issue we decided to explore photography. Whilst the transition of subject matter was obvious, we made an effort not to ostracise regular readers. For example, we ran a feature whereby we asked illustrators to create a photographic self portrait, we called this ‘illustratography’.

To celebrate our editorial debut, we held a launch party at The Resistance Gallery. Acts ranged from the stunning Tits of Death to the sweaty Mexican wrestlers of Lucha Britannia

"The 'Photographers of the Urban Apocalypse' issue takes the publication away from illustration and into the realms of photography for a one-off special. Widely regarded as one of the most exciting creative magazines to come out of the British urban underground, the magazine's irreverent tone is given a new form of clarity and more than few dark twists by young creative duo James and Joe in their editorial debut."
