Hi Michael - it's been a few years since I published an issue. Mags are in the wars right now. As for adland, since I was 20 I've been in agencies of some kind. I used to work on my mag at night. I did have a year or two focusing almost exlcusively on the mag in my mid-20s though. Publishing is a tough gig - especially something as niche as underground hip hop... in the Southern Hemisphere. So, yes, having to provide for my family has definitely guided some of my thinking.
@Jamesb - Thanks for the note. Doesn't surprise me at all that a lot of designery types are into hip hop. It's cool like that.
