Naturegraffix ~ international eco idealism


Naturegraffix is a journal filled with comics, graphic novels and interviews. Three volumes are already available in print and online, providing art, provocative eco-idealism, and handy guidelines for 21st century cultural misfits. The official big theme is "How we influence our environment, and how the environment influences us" and the perspective is a fairly pessimistic one to be honest.



Naturegraffix is edited, co-ordinated and published by the wonderful graphic artist known as Kleine Hex, who currently lives in Leiden. Works from the journal are now exhibited at Het Leidse Volkshuis.




At the opening of the exhibition, the infamous Mr. Lama Waaien and Tony Dubshot, collectively known as Or Combiner did a set of crunchy 100% improvised eco-scapes. More sounds and recordings are actually being planned right now by this duo. Soon come on Dubbhism.
