Ben Tolman in Volume 16 of Direct Art Magazine
I went into my local bookstore to grab the latest copy of Hi-Fructose, and of course it wasn’t there yet, but I did happen to notice an art magazine that I have never seen before. What drew me to it was the cover art created by previously featured artist Ben Tolman. The magazine was faily priced at $4.95 so I grabbed a copy and am very happy I did. This issue of Direct Art is volume 16 so its’ clearly been around a while. It’s is not filled with a lot of articles, but does have some great art and of course ads, but the ads do a good job of alerting you to upcoming shows and even artists you might not have heard of before, such as Dominic Rouse. Previous features can be found in the sites Archives.
If you can’t get a copy at your local bookstore, you can grab one off the site: Direct Art Magazine
