ABOUT AFTER MAGAZINE

After Magazine is a submission based artist magazine with a focus on music, art, fashion, lifestyle and social justice. We provide a platform for emerging artists, locally and nationwide, and ask them to share how their environment has helped shape their vision. We inspire open collaboration and accept any medium we can, from our online presence to the physical issue. People from all over are more than welcome from people as local as Chicago to Amsterdam. If you have any questions we recommend that you email us. We want any and everyone to feel comfortable submitting their work. This isn't "My" magazine, its "Ours."

ABOUT VAGABOND MAURICE

A native of Minneapolis whose work contextualizes nerd mythology over break beats and jazz atmospheric tracks, Vagabond Maurice  is an emcee and teaching artist prone to blues inspired narratives.  He’s toured with Bop Alloy (Substantial & Marcus D), Ruby Ibarra, opened for Saul Williams, Astronautalis at Schubas, played at The Shrine as well as the 33rd & 34th Annual Chicago Jazz Festival. His music has been featured on Vocalo’s Music Vox, MishkaNYC, as well as the Chicago Sun-Times. Dragon Hermit of the Slumpgang777 collective, VAGABOND MAURICE continues to write with the motif of a Space Cowboy – or even a Gangster of Love.

His latest LP, “The Dragon Who Devoured the Moon” is available now via Soundcloud, Bandcamp and Spotify.

ABOUT BIG SHOT ROBOT

Bigshot Robot is the illustration, design and creative studio of artist David Mark Zimmerman. Take a step into his shiny, surreal world of humor, oddity, and quirk. Either by stream of conscious doodle, live painting action or particularly planned studio projects - he embraces the weird through odd characters, spirited lettering, energetic patterns, and a healthy dose of vibrant colors.
