First original editorial cover, “The Water Issue” for Popshot Magazine, Spring 2022.
The concept was based on the water as a medium for meditation. It can make us feel weightless and more at the moment; either floating in it, with waves sounds, on rainy days or, like in this illustration, submerged, where instead of watching from the outside to the interior of an aquarium, it's in the other way, like we are studying ourself at watching from the inside to the exterior. A little introspection. Same in the back cover, submerging us in our deep thoughts in the middle of our routines.
“The Water Issue is a collection of vivid writing, exploring our relationship with the wet stuff. It goes deep, with tales of selkies, hot tub time machines, submerged villages, and severe droughts.”
In this literary quarterly, you can find short stories, flash fiction, and unusual poetry. Shortly after publishing its first editions, Popshot became a pioneer among British poetry magazines, achieving significant international distribution in 18 countries.
"The Water Issue" is available at Popshot Magazine's official website and other local stores.
