Dear friends,
A new sixteen-day old year is well and truly with us, and we have created a zine in praise of all that is summer (southern hemisphere style) to mark it so.

SUMMERTIME
Summertime: And the livin' is easy, just as Ella & Louis sang.
An edition of fifty.
(available here)

Summertime: And the livin' is easy, just as Ella & Louis sang is a new zine created especially for our friends Shari and Sheri at this joy+ride.

"Cicadas and their night time musical serenade made by vibrating two membranes of their abdomen, ice cubes clinking and cracking in a jug of water flavoured by mint leaves and slices of lemon, perhaps a fan gently whirling, thunder imminent, showers forecast, summer has many sounds."

THIS JOY+RIDE
poerty + photos + inspiration

We are delighted to feature in issue nine of this joy+ride. One of us wrote a few words and the other drew, a collaborative response to an invitation issued to share a taste of summer in the southern hemisphere.

Read and see more.

Thanks for your interest in all we make, and may 2009 treat you well,
Gracia & Louise XO
