#32: TENACITY

An ink and digitally rendered illustration of labourers working around a machine in a factory surrounded by scaffolding, tools, tubing and wires. The people wear orange jumpsuits and gather to chat, climb ladders, hang from ropes, write notes, and work on machines. The image is dark, mostly in a consistent moody blue colour, with light coming from an angle across the industrial site. The mood is one of inspiration. Over the cover readers the text, "The Suburban Review #32 Tenacity."

Tenacity isn’t a single act of courage but a patient process, and this issue—our largest ever—celebrates all its myriad manifestations.

#30: SPICE

Chief

A banner with an orange background dusted with crushed spices around the outer edges and chopped chilli. In the centre is the cover of The Suburban Review #30 SPICE. At the top of the cover, inside a pale orange square, in a matching pale orange font is the title: “The Suburban Review #30 SPICE”. The bottom of the image is a photo of steel tea kettles sitting on a fire, coals burning underneath. There are hues of black, brown, and amber— flames are emerging to the left side of the kettles, and grass appears to be burning; lighting up the left side of the image orange. In the bottom right corner there are some light-painting squiggles in a neon orange— as if someone has waved a burning sparkler across the image. There’s an ambience of warmth, of being drawn in close.

Enjoy feeling a little hot under the collar? Look no further than #30: SPICE—filled with searing poetry, fiction, comics, non-fiction, and illustration.
