My friend Dustin Hostetler, also known as UPSO, is an amazing illustrator whose work you might recognize from MAKE:, the Webby Awards, Threadless, Coachella, and a variety of vinyl toys. For five years now, Dustin has also published an excellent zine/book hybrid (zook?) called Faesthetic. It's a limited edition perfect-bound 200-page publication packed with original black and white art, photography, illustration, and graffiti with dozens of artists represented in each issue. (No articles, just art.) The last issue, #5, opened with several mind-blowing pages taken from Tim Biskup's sketchbook. Dustin just sent me the latest issue, #6, and every time I flip through it, I end up picking a new favorite page. Faesthetic #6, with a cover designed by Friends With You, sells for $24. Five hundred "collectors edition" copies of this issue, themed "LOVE & DEATH," are also available directly from Faesthetic.com with each one containing a bonus assortment of offset printed posters, stickers, and a mini-comic by Jonkers.
#6 features 94 artists and is 100% ad free! (in order of appearance):
