"Keep Your Curiosity Sacred"

Issue 4 £4.99

You often find treasures scattered around you when you're not looking, and Oh Comely is one of those magazines you want to savor.  I discovered it while in WHSmith, an English chain of bookstores, and I couldn't leave without taking it with me. Simplicity is more when it comes to it's layout, and grabs you like a handmade zine by one of your friends. 

Within, you'll find stories of geniuses that live next door, and cross paths with you during your daily life. You'll find music suggestions, articles on artists of all trades like Yann Tierson, the 'composer,' and Julia Pott, an animator/illustrator. This magazine prides itself on bringing out the treasures and curiosities of everyday life, like getting to know you're neighbors, and picking the brains of random passersby for the very last thing that surprised them. There are wonderfully random nuggets that will surprise you, and cause you to learn something you might not have otherwise known. The photography throughout is so artful and dreamy! They even provide you with a few recipes of which you can try out to discover new tastes. 

Oh Comely is a wonderful magazine that reads like a letter from your best friend, and encourages you to engage in the world around you, rather than looking to commercial satisfaction. A celebration of quirks and creativity!  Purchase?

On a side note: Let's support independent publishers, because in the end, they go above and beyond to provide you with heartfelt content, unique sights, and the work of artists who are most often overlooked by mainstream entities.  Support your fellow artists! 

P.S.S- And yes, that is Nikki Fierce, my brand new Ukulele making his cameo appearance!
