Shade Magazine

From 2002 to 2004 I published Shade, an independent magazine about downtown Phoenix — its art, its argument, its life. Eighteen issues, made by and from, for and about the arts, the artists, and the potential of a city searching for its soul.

I'm putting the full run online, issue by issue. Reading them now, the questions we were asking then, we are still asking now.

Below is the archive, growing as each issue gets its own page. Click a cover to read that issue and see who's discussing it — check back in as we update with more content.

Now online: Issue 1 (May 2002).
