Juxtapoz Print Magazine
JUXTAPOZ magazine presents a monthly gallery of underground and emerging artists who influence much of the fashion, graphics, and new art we see today.
Reviews
"This magazine is a must for artists!"
"I first heard of Juxtapoz from an Airbrush artist."
"The nice thing about that kind of art though is that it is done by people that are trying to create something that has never been done before, but, like I said, unfortunately it usually just ends up being really boring and pretentious. If you look at paintings by Robert Williams, Alex Gross, Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, the Clayton Bros, you start to think that they're all doing the same thing. Or maybe they're talking about some limited edition Nikes that were designed by so-and-so and not only do they not look cool, they are also $400 and completely sold out (why would anybody care about this?). Instead they have photos of one of their writers hanging out with one of the magazine's regular artists and Vincent Gallo or some other marginally talented celebrity. I would recommend checking out Beautiful Decay instead, which does a good job of finding artists that are doing very interesting work, but often aren't hugely popular."
"I signed up through the Juxtapoz website and got a free T-shirt and a 12-month subscription for $29.99."
"It showcases young, interesting artists, and offers a fresh perspective to those of us tired of the too-often pretentious , too-rarely insipred high brow arts scene. No matter how much I admire these artists, I would just expect more diversity and openness from a magazine that's supposed to showcase alternative, indie art."
"I have been searching bookstores for a magazine like this, and have only come across publications that focus on one main subject, like graphic design, abstract art, indie art, so on,so forth, but it was a relief finding Juxtapoz and it's vast subject matter because I see what i'm familiar with, and enjoy..and then at the same time, introduced to artists i've never seen or heard before."
"Juxtapoz is art by people who like to make art."
"I love Juxtapoz magazine, it's the best magazine for artists who like alternative or "lowbrow" culture from graffiti, to artists like the Pizz, Mark Ryden, and the editor himself the great Robert Williams "surrealistic" paintings.It used to have said artists showing their techinques about how they go about their work, the only negative is that the book only comes out 6 times a year."
