Low inventory alert!

Only 20 copies of issue #50 (July-Aug-Sept 2021) remain in my online shop. This issue explores the intersection of art and science, as well as rubber stamps and related printmaking concepts: relief (both in terms of texture and emotion), making good impressions and the satisfaction (and necessity) of repetition.

Save 20% off back issues when you purchase 3 or more.

Volume G: Glue

Pre-order!

Volume G: Glue will feature artists, designers and craftspeople who use collage and assemblage in their work. It will be heading to the printer in a few months. A big update about this project is on the way! Thank you.

Feed Sacks

The Colourful History
of a Frugal Fabric

Author Linzee Kull McCray explores the history of the humble feed sack, from a plain burlap or cotton sack to exuberantly patterned and colourful bags that thrifty housewives repurposed into frocks, aprons and quilts in the first half of the 20th century. Extensive imagery and reproductions of these fabrics create an inspiring sourcebook of pattern and colour—and offer a welcome visit to a slower-paced way of life. Originally published in 2016.

The UPPERCASE Archive & re:issue

re:issue collects articles from past issues and brings them back to our attention in a new way. In June, we examine how we express ourselves through handwriting, lettering, concrete poetry, and calligraphic graffiti. We'll also look at the gestures of our hands in more abstract ways—how we affect ink and paint by mixing our swirling thoughts into artistic expression.
The UPPERCASE Archive is a growing resource of out-of-print UPPERCASE magazine back issues presented as digital flip-through editions. With over 50 out-of-print issues, there’s an incredible abundance of inspiration available in this digital UPPERCASE library. The first 32 issues of the magazine are ready now.
