- Part of It's Nice That Issue #2
This week has been a busy one with getting things ready for our second publication. We conducted our first interviews with Peter Funch, Boo Ritson and Rafaël Rozendaal, all of which threw up some great conversation and will give a real insight into their practices. Our inboxes have also been filling up with work from Valero Doval, Mimi Leung, Matt Siber, Jen Stark, Troika, Wallzo, Li Wei and we have read the drafts of some intriguing features from Fred Butler and Matt Hawkins. Pictured is a still from one of our interviewees Rafaël Rozendaal’s incredible site, archiving all of his domains, which we found out today is are very much artworks in their own right.

Another busy week collating the content for Issue #2, and some lovely stuff to keep you abreast of. We interviewed the fantastic Wilfrid Wood at his studio (pictured), spoke to Michael Gillette in San Francisco via the power of Skype and ventured up to North London to have a look (and listen) to Airside founder and one-half of Lemon Jelly, Fred Deakin’s record collection. As well as work coming in from the likes of Noma Bar, Barnaby Barford, Brock Davis, Mother London and Dominic Wilcox.
All coming together very nicely, pre-order is available now.

The second issue of the magazine is coming together before it goes to print at the start of September.

That just leaves two interviews and the final tweaks to the design, next week we’ll release the the full line up and as always there will be various updates on our Twitter and Facebook.
