In 2010, we invited artists from around the world at whatever stages in their career they might be in, to give us their impressions of ‘CONSUMERISM’. We had just over 530 submissions from around the world; graphic-designers in Sweden to painters Sydney, illustrators in Miami to art-directors in Turkey, street artists in the UK to photographers in Melbourne.

From these submissions we noticed a narrative starting to form. These artists and designers had similar thoughts and feelings about the idea of ‘CONSUMERISM’ and where it was heading in six years. In their interpretations of ‘CONSUMERISM’, they explored the illusions in society that have led us to believe that our lives can always be better, easier or more luxurious with that little extra ‘something’.

This ‘CONSUMERISM’ issue of Six Years Later is a limited edition print of 500. At a travel-size of 24cm x 17cm, we’ve crammed as much as we can into 80 pages of full-colour prints. Unlike the flimsy pages of ‘normal’ magazines, the inside pages of Six Years Later are considered a rare luxury in the magazine world. At 120gsm, we felt that the inside stock was a necessary extravagance that was only fitting for the quality of work that is printed on those pages.

We put the call far and wide in many different forms to try and reach all those artists that wanted to have their voices heard. We were featured on blogs, we were retweeted and we were even bumped!
However, nothing was as fun (for us) as our little zine. 300 copies were sprinkled around Melbourne in the hopes that while it would put a smile on someones face, they would be able to put a smile on ours by sending us their work.
