As print mags continue to die, its actually pretty dope to see what is rising up out of the pulp. Vancouver’s Sneeze Magazine is inconceivable to most, perplexing to some, but loved by the few that matter. Huge 22 x 16 photos, hardly any words and no binding make this book stand out like face eating monkey at a job fair. Check for Shut’s Javier Nunez on the cover of Sneeze #4, which is lurking on street corners and in skate shops worldwide right now. The issue also features Alex Olson, Kim Matulova, DJ Krush and photos by Mike O’Meally. Well worth looking for.
