CRUEL ZINE ISSUE 1.0 BACK COVER
ARTIST - http://conastoeartwork.tumblr.com/
Second issue come out on my birthday!

Experimental Slit was my first magazine that I designed and created. It was truly an experiment because I was experimenting with layout design and graphic design.
I created Experimental Slit because I felt there was a lack of art magazines that focused on experimenting and discovering new ways and processes on making art.
I will be creating another zine along with this one titled “Cruel & Unusual”. The Cruel Zine is going to have a different take on zines and experiments with art and design. Cruel & Unusual will go a completely different direction with a little more content than Experimental Slit. Unlike Experimental Slit, Cruel & Unusual will have features of artists, designers and musicians as well as a more creative play on typography and design.
Experimental Slit is a way for me experiment with whole series of works while maintaining a simple layout of the magazine. Cruel & Unusual will not only be more creatively designed, but this zine will also show one of a kind works and artwork that doesn’t belong to a specific series or group of work.
I simply created another zine because I have so many different ideas. I enjoy challenges and I absolutely love creating books and magazines. So having one zine just wasn’t enough.
The dates have been finalized for both zines:
Experimental Slit will release the first week of December every year.Making it an annual magazine
Cruel & Unusual Zine will be released monthly. There may be some months with more than just one release.
Cruel & Unusual Zine’s first issue will debut July 1st.
Both magazines will remain free at this time.

SUBMISSION FEATURE: Self-Portrait as a Castrato with Flowers from an Adoring Fan
Hi everyone! We realized belatedly that we incorrectly formatted the line breaks in one of the poems featured in our June issue. Because the initial post has already been reblogged and viewed many times (thank you so much for your support!) we felt that it wouldn’t be the best idea to take all the links down and reupload, so we’re instead giving the piece its own separate post so that it might better reach all our readers on their dashboards.
Please check out more of Leon’s work at their blog.
Thank you all so much for your continued support. Please look forward to our July issue coming soon!
