As my interests change, so do the magazines. I love all of the magazines listed above, but I canceled all of them. Maybe I will buy them again in the future because I love interior design and decorating. But for now, I need that subscription money for new magazines that caught my interest.
I missed art and needed it back in my life. Photography has been with me for over 15 years and will be for the rest of my life, but I returned to my original love: drawing. Drawing was something I always did growing up. In high school, I earned four art awards for being one of the best in the class. My love of drawing dwindled in college when I realized and saw other people were much better then me. Also, I didn't know what job I could get with a drawing concentration. That is when I turned to photography and the rest is history.
One of my favorite subjects to take photos of is urban decay. Urban decay is what lead me to graffiti. Most structures that are abandoned or not used anymore, have graffiti on it. Just seeing graffiti so much, lead to me liking it more and more. Since I love graffiti, that naturally drew me to street art. Street art is beautiful and there are so many talented artists that share their talents on structures around the world.
The magazines that I read about graffiti, street art and contemporary art are: Very Nearly Almost, Graffiti Arts, Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Modern Hieroglyphics and beautiful.bizarre.
When I receive these magazines in the mail, it makes me so happy. I'm happy because there are magazines that publish photos and stories about my interests. I would love to read all of these magazines every month, but only Juxtapoz publishes monthly. All of the other magazines are published quarterly or biannually.
If you know of any other graffiti, street art, contemporary or photography magazine that I should be reading, please leave a comment.
