E17 Designers: Introducing the Illustrated Ape

The Illustrated Ape established in 1998, features 100% original creative fiction, pictures, and poetry, pop – and never, ever reviews! It has won popular acclaim, notably the CREATIVE REVIEW ‘Best In Book’ award for design, and was one of only 5 British magazines selected for the Jam Anglo-Japanese exhibition.
