Bare Bones, the bastard stepbrother of a magazine called Le Gun, is a zine based out of London, England. Headed up by Harry Malt, this punk-esque zine provides a platform for contributors, generally limited by the confines of commercial work, to vent through lowbrow art and humor. Recently featured contributors include: Neal Fox, Nial O’Brian, Harry Malt, Tobias Tak, Chris Bianchi and Michael Smith.

Bare Bones has had three shows in London and are crossing the ocean into New York in June.

In the meantime, stop by Function13 to pick-up a copy of Bare Bones or check out their blog:

North by Northeast, in association with FITC Events, recently hosted NXNE Interactive (NXNEi) – and Function13 got to be there!

Combining NXNE’s distinctive community of music fans and industry connections with FITC’s experience with design & technology events, NXNEi explored the arenas of technology, social media, and business. Highlights include presentations by Ze Frank, Zack Lieberman, and Kickstarter’s Perry Chen, as well as panels that covered a wide range of topics such as: Women in Tech and Social Media, The Lost Art of Storytelling, and Consumers Becoming Creators.
