3 concertinas held together with belly band, colour screen printing.
Produced by students on the MA Sequential Illustration course at the University of Brighton.

Description:
This beautifully produced concertina zine is the result of a collaboration between 28 MA students.

 "We have been screen printing since the course started, and really enjoyed it.
After a few other sit-downs and emails we came up with 'THIEVES'. Our mission was to create a concertina using everyone's artwork made with the subject 'thieves' in mind (the only brief we specified was the size of the artwork and that it was in one/two colours. You can see all the steps we took till final piece if you go to Lauren's Blog: http://www.lauren-watson.blogspot.com.es/2012/08/thieves.html

We handprinted 60 of them, 28 for each artist who participated and another 30 to sell at the final exhibition show. We also entered an LMNOP competition and we were shortlisted."

Who’d have thought it... ISSUE TEN, of this rambling nonsense.
The Damp Research team have been trotting out this stuff for FIVE years now.
At some point you might have thought someone would find something better to do
...but apparently not.
Well, the walls of money have stuck to rich people again and University is now soooo expensive only the Queen can afford to send her eldest son, don’t even bother sending girls - they just need to be pretty these days, start saving up for a boob job and sod the degree... (unless it’s in cosmetic surgery).

Description:
Deepwater Horizon Issue
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 blinkin’ 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?

Phlogiston Issue
In spite of being out-of-ideas the 'Damp Research Facilities' have filled sketchbooks with pointless drawings for your delectation. As usual the Damp Staff have been out and about eavesdropping on tedious mobile phone conversations, designing products for a better future and trying to get away with passing this off as Art - I mean...honestly! TIME FOR ACTION: What we REALLY need now are some more middle-managers to form a committee, to draw up an agenda, to propose a strategic plan that addresses concerns both real and implied of whoever it was who started this whole thing in the first place. Pass the biscuits please...

So what if a few deserving Damp Staff want a new telly? Who wouldn’t begrudge them some small comforts? What else? Well Damp Research has proved conclusively that money is vital for happiness and in the spirit of you can never be too happy...keep fiddling the claim forms.
