Editors Note The work that is in this magazine has been thought up and created by current university of Lincoln students. Yes, some may be better than others at what they do but this magazine for me is not necessarily about the best of Lincoln, its about how confident and different people can be in their work which I hope shows in this magazine. I try and showcase work that is a little bit different and help create a new generation of design. This magazine is strictly for the artists and I hope it helps people get recognized and praised for their hard work and skill. Enjoy Issue 2! Lewis Healey

How to You manage your work and cakebomb together? Bing:Well there are peaks and troughs in our content because we might have a university project to, so we haven’t really found an equilibrium yet. Tom: I actually find that me and bing get into competition quite a lot, we feed off each others energy and end up creating a lot of content at a certain period. Would you consider yourself as a collective? Bing: Definitely!, Originally there was a lot more to the stills side of things where we design comics that are still going which I do. I try and release a comic every week and some of our other members are very arty but its hard because of the distance of some of our members. Because me and tom are in close proximity we can work together a lot more.
Do you think its easier to get publicity as a group rather than together? Tom: I think we all get publicity and I think we suck in our own individual traffic. I think I get people interested personally! Bing: If you look at the statistics some people go straight to toms blog or mine. People in different circles have found the website through me because I’m quite good at social networking in the real world. Where do you want to be in the future? With cakebomb? Or individually?
Has cakebomb grown over the years? Tom: We want to be the British version Bing: Yes my skills have grown in website of college humour, they were a group design and I always test new ideas of American college guys that started and skills on the cakebomb website to making videos together and grew natural, make it better. We always re design the which is what we want. We hope website to make it more stream lined for cakebomb will grow bigger and bigger. our vast audience.

This project examines the common but usually unknown ‘family secret’. In each frame a secret relevant to each photograph is concealed in an envelope. Naturally, as an audience, we want to know what is hidden in each envelope but I am asking you to look into the photograph and your imagination for answers.

Do you have to be drunk to have a good time? Now I like a drink... a ‘drink drink’, I’m a student it’s what I’m best at, well second to sleeping. What’s my poison? A nice cold pint of Strongbow and a cheeky tequila slammer on the side, yes please! But I recently made a decision, a decision that was greeted with heckles of ‘Corinne, are you being serious’ and ‘when pigs to start fly, and then maybe’ each followed by ample laughter. This decision being that I’m laying off the booze till the Christmas holidays. 5 and half weeks of sobriety, doesn’t seem too long really, except when I consider, I have drunk alcohol more than once a week since I was 15 years old. This decision is not down to getting myself into any ‘serious trouble’ whilst under the influence, I can honestly swear down I have never been in trouble with the boys in blue and, touch wood, will never be. I thought it could be an interesting and, undoubtedly, a comical experiment to see if silly behaviors dissolve, to see if I still have a good night and finally, to see how far my will power can carry me. Now I was understandably concerned, when I agreed to attend the new night in SCY; Undertone, that whilst my peers bounced around in a drunken stupor to the sounds of Stenchman, that I would be ludicrously bored out of my sober mind. In fact, I had one of the best nights I have had in Lincoln for a very long time.

The music was spot on, in one of the best clubs in Lincoln and I was with my best mates, they were fairly intoxicated but rightly so. I saved a fair amount of money, only paid the couple of quid in and the three quid odd for my cigarettes, compared to the usual extra 3/4 or even more for pre drinks at home and the god knows how much I would usually spend in the club on drinks. I didn’t kiss any strange boys, not that I would usually you understand and I somehow still managed to fall flat on my arse, whilst the drunken ones, all stood firmly on the ground and neither one of them fell or tripped the entire night, laughed and somehow managed to get the entire thing on video. Oh the shame that it would inevitably be on the dreaded Facebook in the morning! Many a chuckle was had, still mostly at my expense due to my incredibly entertaining plummet towards the sticky floor of SCY, despite the rest my poor liver was having. Oh and I must add, I may be giving up the booze for a few weeks of the year, but don’t think its forever and do not think I will be giving up my darling Marlboro lights, I’m not completely bonkers!

Like some sort of south-coast & north-east creative hybrid, they work mainly in advertising, but have been known to dabble in design, illustration, photography and film-making...or whatever else gets them out of having proper jobs. Blurb by Steve Dodd http://www.dandoanddodd.com
