Thanks for being a VIP!
I'm happy to share this UPPERCASE back issue with you, which has long been out of print.
Issue 23 offers plenty of lettering inspiration and also features an article on the history of Letraset.
UPPERCASE has always been a print magazine first and foremost—and subscribers have made this possible since 2009. We love ink on paper!
However, as the years go by, most of the earlier issues are harder to find, so I have been working on the UPPERCASE Archive of Digital Editions. Learn how you can access more digital editions here.

Here's a recent issue for which I stencilled the cover.
It's available in print!
It is often said that creativity thrives on constraints.
Boundaries can help us focus our attention and concentrate our ideas. Restricting our materials, mediums and methods can allow us to hone our technique.
The removal of excess stimuli and visual clutter can be strategic.
For example, artists and designers will often restrict their palette to the bare minimum: black and white.
Contrast, shape, line and negative spaces are accentuated. The absence of colour can make art more impactful and messages more powerful.
The lack of something becomes its strength.
Likewise, stencils promote creativity through absence: the holes become portals through which we make something new.
Possibility dwells in the empty spaces!
Go ahead—create something from nothing.
