Running Amok - Simon Peplow

We picked up 5 copies of this Running Amok zines on our recent trip to Scotland when we met up with Russell and Julie from Analogue in Edinborough. Running Amok is a series of really cool zines published by them. Each issue is created by a different artist who is given free rein with the content. Deliberately lo-fi each issue is printed in a numbered edition. This particular Running Amok #18 is by Simon Peplow and was made in an edition of 100.

Simon Peplow lives within a delicately constructed vortex. He spends the majority of his days downloading information from a tiny cabin situated within the Corpus Callosum region of his noggin. Characters are a fundamental part of his work, described by some as whimsical, cute and sinister in equal measures. He just wishes they were his friends. Simon is co-founder of The Outcrowd Collective and a proud affiliate of the Banjo people.
