Is Not Magazine. A magazine. A poster. In their hometown, Melbourne, they are know for insane parties. Internationally they are lauded for original, prize-winning design: it confused the hell out of passers by. It fostered local artists and writers. Many a parent of Is Not contributors could proudly say "Well, at least my child has stopped burning hedges."

Having reclaimed public space since 2005, Is Not Magazine is closing its walls. The perishables have been trashed. The self-destruct sequence has been set. All the rugs have been sold. The kid is going home and taking his ball with him. In one final display of plumage.

Is Not Magazine's three-year elbowing for public wall space showed that subversion could be free, funny,inspiring, artistic and typographically beautiful. They did it all for you. They also did it for free donuts. Stand and stare once more at this non advertising. Be sold one last time.
