I have a strange Eye Magazine related story. When I first moved to London I worked freelance at a small studio in Soho. I got to work on a load of really nice things and the studio had a double-double page feature in Eye displaying mostly pieces of my work and almost all of it got fairly credited to me too (which made a change, getting fair credit for my work was like squeezing piss from a dead man's teeth). I never kept a copy of the magazine though.
Jump forward 10 years and I'm walking around Lewes with my missus and somehow got on to rambling about the past as I do and I found myself saying how I regretted not having a copy of this particular issue of Eye Magazine for nostalgic reasons. Moments after I said it I swear to god, honestly, we walked past one of Lewes' many secondhand bookstores and I glanced in the window... and there it was. Cost me eight fucking quid. Fuckers. It was pristine though.
I just pulle dit off my bookshelf. Issue number 20, Vol5, Spring1996 for anyone who wishes to view some vintage Studiospooky pre-illustration design work. Its pretty shit though, so I wouldn't fall off your chair to pull it out of cryonic suspension.
