The new issue (8) of the brilliant Phlegm Comic has just been released. It's a special advertising issue and it's a banger. I interviewed Mr Phlegm in the current issue of Modart. If you're the sort of person that feels angry and nauseous every time a perfume commercial or ultra length mascara advert (make that all adverts pedaling aspirational, unnecessary rubbish) appears on the telly, then this issue is for you. You can buy direct from www.phlegmcomics.com and we've just received a small batch at Spine.

Lingerie company Lascivious has just released its second set of artist designed luxury playing cards, this time based on the theme Love. Contributing artists include Chris, Kev Grey, Kid Acne and a whole bunch of other great artist and illustrators. Check the website www.lascivious.co.uk and look in the 'accessories' section to see all the cards and the artists who designed them. Very nice.
