Cover of the first issue of Stim Magazine and first page of the short story, Lillith

For the first issue of Stim Magazine, a culture zine out of Springfield, Missouri, I was really able to have some fun as advertising was taken care of (and designed by me, so even the ads fit with the look of the publication) and the audience had no expectations, so I had free reign to do whatever I wanted.

For the cover I did some watercolor and Indian ink drawings, along with an inked logo. Inside there was an interview with a philosopher with a unique take on cultural evolution, a short story retelling the tale of Adam and Eve from a different perspective, and a really cool, hand-drawn illustrated guide on how to make your own clutch-purse.
