Crap Hound No. 8: Superstitions! All New Issue! trying to raise $ on Kickstarter

Crap Hound the Art mag is trying to raise money for its next issue at kickstarter.

ABOUT CRAP HOUND: Between a brief introduction and the end credits, Crap Hound is pure imagery. Each page is filled with high-contrast line art, culled from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera. Through sheer volume of artfully arranged iconography, Crap Hound provides a visual survey of dozens of popular and lesser known superstitions. This all new issue is 100-pages including the cover and features two copyright free typefaces!
Debuting in 1994 and created by Sean Tejaratchi, Crap Hound became a favorite of both zine readers and publishers, and has received enthusiastic reviews from sources including The New York Times Magazine, RE/Search Books, AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts), and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
Read a great interview with Sean by Ian Lynam in PingMag. Check out the issues currently available at Reading Frenzy.
JULY 2011: We're ready to take the next issue of Crap Hound to press! This time around we're offering pre-orders on the new issue, as well as a variety of highly covetable rewards! We've offered several combo options, but if you don't see the combination of rewards you would like, simply message us via Kickstarter and we will be happy to put together a special reward package for you.
Our goal this time around is $15,000.00, which will cover the cost of printing 5000 copies of the magazine, producing all of the other rewards, shipping and handling, and project fees. Money raised above our goal will simply make it easier and quicker for us to produce these items.
The new issue will retail for $12-$13 depending on our print run, which will be determined by this project. We like to keep Crap Hound as affordable as possible -- you would be hard pressed to find a resource of this quality and quantity for twice the price -- so every dollar we're able to raise through pre-orders and rewards really helps the cause!
