"DRAIN" is an art magazine composed entirely of visuals, edited by Ed Davis.

"DRAIN" aims to inspire and motivate people, especially the younger generation, to break free from the algorithms that consume so much of our time through screens and social media and engage in creative activities offline. Guests can enjoy works by artists, brands, and labels from around the world, selected by Ed's discerning eye.

ISSUE 01 features Ed's signature selection of artists such as Nick Atkins and Weirdo Dave, who are currently designers for Supreme, as well as the late reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry, Jack Bool, who has just released a new photo book from Same Paper, and Essential Store and Motoyuki Daifu, who are well known for their silent auctions from Japan. In addition, the book contains a wide variety of cross-genre works, including the discography of London record label The Trilogy Tapes and footage from a show at the Women's History Muse.

Point: I personally feel that the aim of DRAIN, liberation from algorithms and offline creation, is important. I would like to receive new perspectives from the works of various artists and get our hands dirty.
