ABOUTAn interactive, three-dimensional literary magazine, Space Lobster was created with the aim to amplify the wondrous act of flipping a page, and the delightful surprise of reading something out of this world. 

In the creation of this project, I served as both the Editor and Art Director, selecting and arranging the works, creating and developing the magazine’s own brand, and designing the magazine itself. Additionally, featured in the center of the magazine is a photo narrative book comprised of my own photography and writing. Featuring celebrated poets like Mary Jo Bang, and fantastical prose writers like Debbie Urbanski, the magazine’s first edition, Otherworlds, invites readers to pursue the beyond, and embrace all things wacky and weird.

SUNKEN SALT A series of uncanny, dry, and fantastical poems, each poetry card is accompanied by a surrealist collage on its opposite side.

THE PROMISE OF A PORTAL Debbie Urbanski wields sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and realism in The Promise of a Portal, an imaginative story of a child’s yearning to disappear into another world. The book’s cover features my own photography, with mini portals and page inserts that feature key quotes from the story.

CELESTIAL MIRRORS Cinematic, introspective, and curious, the Celestial Mirrors card set features three poems by Mary Jo Bang’s book A Film in Which I Play Everyone.

SPACE FILESRidiculous, campy, and playful, Space Files is a photo-narrative parody of classic space westerns. The photographs, attached to the book with paper clips, allow the reader the take apart the book’s structure and sift through themselves. Included in the book are faux-journal entries from a cowboy named Jessie, who definitely cannot handle the 45 minutes he spends in space.

SPACE STAGINGCollaging captured photography onto very fake backgrounds, these images maintain a sense of humored reality, while evoking a green-screen feel that’s present in space westerns.

MEMORY BOX JR Fenn’s flash-fiction, enclosed in a fold-out poster, pierces a reader with dystopian nostalgia, all in just one (very large) page.
