FAKE

Christmas 2011 FREE

Season’s Greetings

We’ve put together a little catalogue; a FAKE guide to Christmas shopping. Firstly, we’d recommend visiting our lovely stockists (p19) and having a few drinks with the Sugarfoot Stomp (p17) and Kino 10 (p8) if you are out and about in Birmingham on 23rd December. In this free online FAKE publication, you will find the online shops of some of our past contributors, and some ‘best bits’ by them from Issues One to Three. We hope this shows you some of the fantastic work that our FAKE family create, as it’s especially for people like you.

To our new readers, hello and welcome to FAKE. We hope you like what you see and that you’ll make the most out of our special Christmas subscription offer. We are a quarterly, independent publication; the work of two friends who have the same passion for creating something tactile, beautiful to look at and interesting to read. FAKE gives you access to the latest independent creative talent. We are in development of Issue Four as we speak (type!) and we are discovering yet more incredibly talented individuals to share with you. It’s been a fantastic first year for FAKE and we look forward to 2012.

We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year (Good tidings we bring... etc etc) Love Kerry & Sophie Co-Editors
