Popshot zine

Popshot is a zine that combines illustrations and poems. I discovered it while i was at university and I have tried to keep up with buying it although its quite hard to find places that sell it. luckily the waterstones at sheffield hallam uni had it sometimes so i could buy it and also it is possible to order it online. i love that anyone can send in work to be picked to be in the zine  and then they send out poems that people have also sent in to the illustrators and they marry the poem with an illustration. I also like how each issue runs alone a theme...
"Popshot is a poetry and illustration magazine gently intent on hoodwinking poetry back from the clammy hands of school anthologies and funeral readings. It is not a namedrop session or a further attempt to immortalise the great poets of days gone by. We are here to showcase the poetry of today and tomorrow with the whimsical arms of illustration wrapped tightly round it. We are of the thought that the future of poetry is even more exciting than the past.
Each issue contains a collection of poems written to a theme. These selected poems are individually sent out to a collection of illustrators who then illustrate the poems according to their interpretation of the piece. These illustrations are then bound together with the poems and printed onto sheets of tree pulp for your enjoyment."

AOI: "As I am handed the third issue of Popshot magazine I am delighted that a publication has finally been produced that combines together two of the things that many artists are so passionate about. For we are not just doodling machines; we are much more. We have feelings too, damn it. This is perfect for all you sensitive kids out there, yearning for an outlet for all those gushing feelings and emotions that yearn to be set free upon the unfortunate world around us."
