peep magazine issue 5. Whats inside this 40 page independent publishing magazine from Newcastle upon Tyne.

This is how we used to introduce peep magazine. Peep is just a magazine. A collection of thoughts and ideas. Ideas that have drained from our minds, stolen from conversations and picked up in litter. We are the forgotten intelligence that is found in the mundane, the originality in sameness, the glamour in drudgery, and the highlights of everyday life. We talk a lot of nonsense.

Ego Downshifting Lifestyle changes are being forced upon us all. It’s time to sigh, think back to the good times and wait until inflation slows and wages increase . .

Freak-Daddy Graphic Novel part 5. Written and Illustrated by Cliff Sainsbury. Freak-daddy was the birth of Cliff Sainsbury’s road to Guerrilla marketing within Newcastle upon tyne. Not marketing as such, just an onslaught of nasty black and white illustrations formed into several graphic novels, following a pimp from chicago around the early 1960s. Cliff Sainsbury illustrates Freak Daddy as he tries to reclaim the hussle, prostitutes, pimps and of course – money. Check it out exclusive to peep magazine.

Sneekapeep by Kadir Vain. Kadir Vain shows peep how creative he really is with creating unique paintings onto old record sleeves. These paintings of clown faces show the dark world of clown face and the many connetations they bring. Like them or hate them but you cannot deny them.
