Issue 20 marks five years of UPPERCASE magazine! This is an amazing feat considering that we are a small publication with little or no advertising, fully supported by our readers and subscribers. With your support, we look forward to many more creative years ahead. Thank you for keeping us going.

The main theme throughout this issue is “broadcasting”. Our broad interpretation of this term includes the sharing of ideas graphically and publicly through posters, social media and public art and also encompasses amateur radio, graphic novels and collecting vintage advertising posters. To round out the issue, haberdashery, hat-making and a love of sewing notions is a pretty and crafty thread of content throughout.

In addition to the magazine, we also publish books on craft, creativity and collecting. Two forthcoming titles that have been in the works for a while include The Typewriter: a Graphic History of the Beloved Machine and Little U: the offspring of UPPERCASE—a book/magazine for the young at heart. Visit our website for more details. Also new to the shop is a line of papergoods and posters that we look forward to expanding over the next while.

Here’s to a creative and curious new year!
