From the publishers of The London Magazine, new magazine Trespass seeks submissions of unusual originality. Drawing out the greys in the shades between any kind of contrast, between good and evil, the prostitute and the saint, beauty and despair, and re-imagining them in colour. Whether sexual, puritanical or merely the gap between good taste and good sense, we will try to enter into what is forbidden, to make what is illicit or what challenges boundaries of taste or good sense into our common ground. Innovators, iconoclasts or outcasts find their platform here. The magazine is all about breaking the rules...or embracing them. Deadline for submissions: August 15, First Issue: Goes to print September 10. Description: Strong, dense and weightless, a beautiful, collectible object. A renegade projectile of beauty. We are looking for Art, Photography, Poetry, Articles: (Such as the importance of innovators, rule breakers, iconoclasts) The Editor will consider suggestions. Please email the Editor, trespassmagazine@yahoo.co.uk
