Carrier Pigeon #18 Volume 5 Issue 2

Carrier pigeon is an artist-run magazine of illustrated fiction and fine art, promoting respectful interdisciplinary collaboration. The results are organic, collaborative, and quickly evolving compositions featured alongside full portfolios of contemporary work by fine artists from an unrestricted demographic range. Carrier Pigeon believes that loyalty to each artist’s personal vision, without regard to current trends, provides the best environment in which to collaborate. The main goal of this journal is to provide a magazine that is, in itself, a piece of artwork.
