Here’s a sneak peak of the front cover for Issue #2 ‘Darkness and Light’, due to be in our hands on 19th May. In this issue, we’ve gone for a darker feel - there’s something a little creepy about it… and to strike a good balance we’ve included some dazzlingly cheery artworks too! The iconic cover was made by Kelly Doak, and there’s more of her work inside. We were lucky enough to interview prize-winning author Toby Litt, and even have an extract of his new novel. PLUS: more illustration, poetry, photography and art from all over the world. You can pre-order a copy by visiting our Etsy, or you can reserve one by emailing PAPERBRAINS@gmail.com We wish you all a very merry May ;)
