#25: The Pet issue. Available now.
Our next issue’s ready. It’s about animals, illustration, horror, death and printing. You’re going to love it. Why not order right now?
This issue explores the pet issues you’ve never had the chance to consider. Can a greyhound be an art critic? Is there any purpose to a portrait of your pet? How do you run a risograph studio with a Norweigian Elk Hound in tow? And why do horror authors adore cats?
Our latest issue features an original cover by Max Machen, writing and journalism from Elspeth Wilson, Heather Parry and Katie Hawthorne, and the illustrations of Anna Payán, Alice Prentice, Felicity Inkpen, Maisie Summers, Sophie Heywood, Sophie Robin and Steph Coathupe.
Shop the Counterpoint back catalogue
This issue explores all things long and longform: tough breakups, sitting through theatre, and pushing projects through to the end. It’s also about motorways, worms and undersea cables. It’s got 54 pages risograph printed with love and care in Scotland. You’ll love it.
Every copy printed unique
Counterpoint is made in Leith with a special Japanese printing method called risograph.
Read it, rip it, pin it to your wall. There’ll only be a few hundred copies ever made, and thanks to mechanical misregistration and the quirks of riso printing, each one ends up unique in some way.
