Tomorrow night we are launching a publication project, titled ‘Unalive’, that I’ve been working on with the graffiti writer SU!C!DE.
This is the teaser video I cut for the project.
The publication is published by
@artillerymagazine and it’s the first publication we’ve done in 10 years.
Over the past six years, bringing my vision for Artillery back to life has been heavy in my soul and always on my mind. It sounds silly now, but even as I worked in the background on Artillery, the fear was real! Kids to feed, and bills to pay, I listened to well meaning advice and pushed Artillery to the back burner. Still, my vision was there, bubbling away under the surface.
Centimetres at a time, I slowly realised that this is what I’m here to do, to make this Artillery shit real. To turn dreams into reality. And over the last year or so, I’ve leaned into the fear, and taken some major steps back to prioritise whatever this Artillery thing is. I pushed harder on building the web shop, so I’d have base to support the publishing/ media side.
We’re not there yet, but this new project marks a massive milestone on the journey and I’m beyond excited to share it with the world.
It’s easy to get lost in the sauce of life, and there’s been moments where it’s felt like it would be easier to go get a fucken job. But doing something to build culture, something that feels important, trumps all that. These lyrics from my friend Chris West have been running through my mind a lot; “I’d rather be broke and have a whole lot of respect”.
Definitely not tryna be broke, but doing something inspirational feels more important than just stacking cash.
👀 The ‘Unalive’ zine is launching 7pm AEST tomorrow, Sunday 3pm, at artilleryworldwide.com – I hope you’ll check it out. It’s the first of many more to come!!!
