LOVE LOVE AMELIA"S MAGAZINE! MIKA BLOG!

Posted on July 27th, 2008 by Mika
Am sitting in my hotel room having woken up at horrifically late, 2pm to be exact (HA! love it!).  Im on mute mode, once again doing a Celine, and not talking until my show tonight.  Anyway, I want to introduce you to an amazing magazine that some may have already heard of.   This Mag is always a source of inspiration for me. And I know that you would love it.  It is the ONLY mag that I have a yearly subscription to. It is simply brilliant.  Its called Amelia's Magazine.  Check out some of the images below from the current and past covers.  Also look at the USB stick ALBUM they gave away for free in the last issue.  GENIUS simply GENIUS. Illustration, music, art, fashion, commentary... but really its the perfect art direction that makes it what it is.                 www.ameliasmagazine.com Mxxxx

Artistic covers!
so you are a subscriber… and… do the copies arrive at the tour bus?
What a wonderful personal service!!!

I’m very interested by this magazine, also because Amelia is my cousin’s name.
Of course and obvious, all my relatives are named with the first letter of the name A
so this magazine is already familiar for me.

For your info: a very old magazine, not so cool but lovely and “historical” is

for minor teenagers.

Ce magazine semnblait bien, et comme j’étais en Angleterre, je me disais que ce serait plus facile a trouver ... je me suis donc mise en quete de faire tous les magasins de presse, de demander a chaque vendeur s’il l’avait (ils me regardaient bisarrement, ils n’en avait jamais entendu parler…), et rien… J ai fait tout Londres ! Ou les trouve tu ?!?!?

The first one let me think of “Of Montreal”. There’s this video on youtube: “Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games”

It´s the first time I hear about the magazine. I must confess it´s facinating me… It´s so different from all the gossip rags around the world. I think… I need it…

Oh j’aime beaucoup ce magasine ! les couvertures sont vraiment magnifiques !
C’est vrai que ce n’est pas évident de se le procurer en France, mais les personnes interessées, on peut commander via internet.
Ca vaut vraiment le coup, car il sort de l’ordinaire, les illustrations sont superbes, le contenu intéressant etc…
(bref petite pub supplémentaire… ^^)

They immediately draw your attention and make you want to pick it up and flip the pages.

Now THIS I likey likey!!

The colours are amazing and joyful. The artwork very pretty and detailed. I particularly like the one with the ice-cream and strawberry design. 

The Jim Woodring stuff… whilst clearly very clever and deep…was just a little TOO on the edge for me personally.. a little ‘dark’ but LOVED the Arthur Ganson ‘Chair.’

But ANY type of art that flips somebody’s perspective is always a good thing… and art by it’s very nature is also a very personal thing too… so we’re not all gonna love everything you put up here…. but at least you are educating your fans so it’s all good. 

My art hero is Salvador Dali… and you lovely Mika are to me, the Dali of Music - with your own surreal and colourful take on life that manifests visually through your shows and artwork and musically through our minds with your unique lyrics and melodies….

COOL!!  I really love the designs, especially all the bright colors and bold lines.  They kind of remind me of some artwork I am working on right now, actually.

Thanks for sharing all this cool stuff with your fans!!!  WE LOVE YOU!!

That dog looks like Paul O Gradys dog Buster!!
I like the thing about the conkers, amazing what you can do with them isn’t it?
I did notice the price, little out of my price range, is it monthly or quarterly?
It looks interesting though.

I tried to buy “Amelia’s Magazine” in Taiwan but it’s out of stock. Even the previous issues are, too. I like the first pic you post. It’s colorful and dynamic. The USB is very cute. I really want to get one.

Mikaa!

Wow, what an amazing covers! The 4th one looks yummy to me! lol

Well, I wanna show you some stuff I adore. But I only have pictures. But I don’t know how to post them.. Maybe it’s really easy, but I don’t know how to do it..
Arrgh, I feel really stupid now!

But you must check this one:
http://www.uglydolls.com/

and this one:
http://www.maomaland.com/maomaland/index.php

The design of the sites looks lovely and the dolls looks sweet and and everything looks great!:D

And the art I wanted to show you is from: gabygaby art. Maybe, If you want, you can google it! because there’s no images on his page: http://www.gabygabyart.com/

I don’t normally buy magazines anymore.  Haven’t ever seen this before.  Love the covers.  They’re pretty inspiring to me.  Will check this out online.  Thank you for sharing.

if you care about editorial lines then you might know fault mag, damn mag or nico “a cohesive view of progressive pop and off-the-radar culture” ok, this last one only covers luxembourg BUT its ok too even if your not from there (look im not, micronesia!) plus it has paper sheets and thats really kool to touch though it might not be as kool as touching…uhm…plastic.

anyway please check this, this is just great:

I love the designs of that magazine, especially the 4th one. I designed something like that too, one year ago. It took me quite long, to colour it with felt tip. I’ll try to get one magazine, I’m curious about the contents.

I sometimes buy a few art-magazines but honestly I hadn’t heard about this mag before. I’ve just checked its website and the past issues and I see what do you mean by it being “a source of inspiration” to you.
I’m gonna go downtown to see if they still have a copy!

Thanx again for sharing all this with us, I love discovering new stuff everyday!
