Don’t Show Me Your Poetry // Robert Cook (Interview)
As the curator of the annual Octopus group show at Gertrude Contemporary Art Space, Robert Cook is not shy about the fact that he loves his inner geek. “Don’t Show me Your Poetry” is largely an extension of those unexplored, sentimental territories inherent in all of us. Robert reveals his thoughts on pop music, comics, art, sensitivity and our obsession with youth. Words // Annie Wu

Deanne Cheuk
Deanne Cheuk has never let anyone publish a photo of her desk before but we were lucky enough to catch her late at night when she wasn’t “thinking straight”. Originally from Perth, Deanne has been living in New York for the past seven years where she has continued to establish herself as an artist, art/director and illustrator working with such titles as Tokion magazine, publishing her own magazine NeoMu and exhibiting her artwork around the world. Deanne told us that she didn’t change a thing before sending these images and that she is also suspect of how clean the other designers desktops are.

When it comes to a free, non-commercial magazine as impressive as the Philadelphia based Megawords the first question that comes to mind is “but…how?” Yet, rather than get tied up with logistics we spoke to co-founder Anthony Smyrski about the reasons why they do it. If you’re not already familiar with the title then we recommend you visit their recently relaunched website before reading the interview. www.megawordsmagazine.com
