Twin Issue 3

Words by Alex Bec, Wednesday 10 November 2010

I remember being very excited about the launch of Twin, and that enthusiasm third time round hasn’t wavered. A stellar line-up comes as standard and this time includes a whole host of great articles by Immodesty Blaize, Sloane Crosley, Simon Rich and Kristin Hersh. The two bits I’m most looking forward to though are a photo diary by Gia Coppola, who’s photography I’ve fallen in love with, and a frank account of life on tour by Alison Mosshart, who (as I’m sure you know if you’ve seen her perform) is as spell-binding as they come.

Work / Publication Paul Bouigue’s unusual zine celebrates the objects we often overlook

Graphic designer Paul Bouigue’s offbeat zine, Le mois d’août is about holidays and how various inanimate objects feel during the summer break. “Actually they are not feeling very cool – they kind of feel forgotten,” says Paul. Inspired by the time he spends alone working at his parents’ house, Paul thought it would be interesting to draw the objects around him that he often ignores. “I wanted to make them look and feel how I was feeling.”

Work / Publication Max Löffler interprets the anxieties and worries of modern life in his gloomy zine

German illustrator Max Löffler’s project Daymare Boogie is “an attempt to understand and grasp this raging current called modern life”. Addressing our imperfections and the anxieties faced by all, the black and white zine looks at the issues surrounding individuals in society. “The idea derives from a project I did before called Psychic Vault. It was about subconscious memory and I had a lot more ideas that would fit in the zine, so I just kept on illustrating,” explains Max. “When I had a decent amount, I stumbled upon 100for10 by Melville Brand Design, which is an artist book project with each book consisting of 100 black and white pages available to buy for 10€. I contacted them and started to work on the illustrations so that they would fit in the concept of Daymare Boogie.”
