The Wanderer is a 24 page magazine (I can’t use the word ‘zine’ – I’m too old and it sounds forced!), loosely on the theme of walking though I do a lot of ranting in there. It also contains my illustrations and photographs and, of course, my rants.

In this first issue:
“We can be heroes” – The definition and role of the hero
“Laziness” – About laziness and how it’s good for you
“A waste of space” – about that pathetic sport known as golf
“Fantasies” – top five fantasies whilst walking

also – a spot the difference quiz, an instruction on how to make your own recycled sketchbook and a guide to spotting common (British) birds of prey.

If you haven’t got PayPal, please email me at simon@ethicalgraphicdesign.co.uk and I’ll send you a postal address to send a cheque. Also email me if you’re not from the UK and I’ll work out postage costs. Thanks.
