A collection of illustration, hand lettering and photography with witty inventions, advice and satirical advertisements. A daily visual diary of what's happening within view of the author, social commentry through drawing.

Quote from author’s website: “What’s happened recently then?.... 'The Damp Research Team' have studiously tackled the issues that we all think about - such as do you waste more time on Facebook or Twitter, and what’s the point of it all when your closest friends are only ‘virtual’ and can’t even buy you a beer and crisps? In the current economic climate all the Damp Staff have been promptly sacked and the company has been sold to 'foreigners'. They’ve hired some child labour to do the work at a fraction of the price, which means it’s much better this time around since the kids are better at drawing. We’ve kept all our middle-managers though, since they are better at designing nice colourful forms in Excel. So, it seems the world is REALLY going-down-the-pan as we speak, but at least your hair will look pretty and the Botox will smooth over your anxious brow as you glance with alarm into oblivion. Time for a cuppa-T love?”

Description: A collaborative zine from students at the University of East Anglia in 2016. This was the first zine created by 'Egg Box' and it asked students to submit written, photographic and artwork responses to the theme of Maps. Some contributors took the theme very literally by drawing maps of the campus, while others took a metaphorical approach, such as creating a map of pain on their body caused by chronic illness.

Quote from author’s website: “Egg Box Publishing's monthly collaborative zine for October 2016. Based on the title 'Maps' members submitted content which was put together, edited and designed by Egg Box Publishing.
