Beyond the Streets

"Swindle" is the definitive popular culture and lifestyle publication for women and men of ages 18 to 34. More than just reporting on culture, "Swindle" is dedicated to influencing culture through content unlike anything else on newsstands. It aims to be a magazine that readers will want to read over and over; a magazine that's truly a cultural almanac, full of stories that will captivate anyone and everyone; a magazine that can be treasured as a work of art in itself. "Swindle" fills a void for readers who desire a well-balanced periodical, one that is sophisticated but not too serious, intelligent and whimsical, progressive yet timeless, all at once. As both a product of the times and a documentation of them, "Swindle" manages to stay modern and culturally relevant without falling into the endless recycling bin of trendiness. Instead of reporting on the biggest stories of the day, it digs deeper, bringing new stories to the forefront. Covering a vast assortment of topics, from the core areas of music, art, and fashion to eclectic pop culture tidbits ranging from paranormal research to political activism to Lego toys. This issue features an exclusive interview with Banksy, plus articles on Boxing, Art of Noise and Cherry Bombs!

Richard Colman lives, works and exhibits in Los Angeles California. Channeling Edward Gorey's sinsister gothic style and Henry Darger's twisted story-telling in equal measures, Colman's work is finely rendered, dark, but also humorous. Over the past five years, Colman has exhibited in well received shows including a solo show at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles, and ground breaking group shows including Royal Elastics, Street Wise (London), and Career Days at MOCA D.C. with Dalek, Stephen Powers, Mike Giant, and NEWA.

I Was Just Leaving: The Artwork of Richard Colman

Born in 1976 in Glendale, California, SABER had already made his name a visual fixture in Los Angeles by the end of his teens. But it was as a 20-year-old that he completed the painting that would catapult him to the status of a global legend. His piece on the sloping bank of the Los Angeles River is nearly the size of a football field, and can be read clear as day from a satellite photo. In a famous photograph taken by his father just after it was completed SABER stands on the piece and appears as a tiny speck amid a giant blaze of color. In the years since, SABER has continued to push himself as an artist. He has created groundbreaking metal and wood sculptures, painstakingly rendered hyper-realistic canvases, and works in many other media. We all want to remain permanent, explains SABER, and in his book, SABER: MAD SOCIETY, he shows the entire scope of his efforts at permanence from oil paintings on canvas to the largest graffiti piece in the world. Alongside a wealth of photos, the monograph comes complete with colorful stories of his graffiti misadventures. Among the thousands of people who make up the graffiti community around the world, there are few names that carry the same legendary quality as SABER.
