Issue 54 of frankie mag is sitting in our hot little hands, and we're so darn pleased with it that we wanted to give you a sneaky peek before it greets the world in just two days time.

We're more than a little bit chuffed this morning, because volume seven of our brother mag Smith Journal has just hit the shelves. What a way to start the week!

Time sure does fly when you're putting together a pretty darn fabulous mag, and issue 54 will be hitting the newsstands in less than a month.

Hooray for print ... Hooray for shopping local ... and hooray for damn cute stop-motion.

The Bookery Cook is chockas with contemporary rustic deliciousness, as well as original artworks commissioned from creatives around the world.

Illustrator Devon Smith is a bit of a sharp-eyed bystander, and her zine Imaginary Lovers is an ode to the most special of passersby.
