BOOMER MAGAZINE I SECOND EDITION I SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY
On many occasions, artists have prophesied the path of their career, the course of their life and many other things surrounding them including life and death. A very specific one is Jean Michel Basquiat, the artist that we have chosen for the cover of the second edition of our magazine. From the kid living in a cardboard box on the streets of New York at 17, to a superstar millionaire artist at 21, to his tragic death at the age of 28 to a legend that inspires millions of artists, Jean Michel Basquiat has captured the imagination of the world. The purpose of this publication is to see how contemporary artists present themselves and their works to the viewers and to connect them with a wider audience.

Emily Brooks Millar
Emily Brooks Millar is a visual artist based in
Glasgow, who works predominately in illustration.
She is currently a member of the GoMA Youth
board, playing an active role in organising

people in Scotland. Her work always holds a
sense of humour and a pulpy style. She is also in
collaboration with the Salt Space Cooperative:
a collective of like minded artists who form work
and public spaces. Her most recent exhibitions
of ‘Nuns on the Run’ and ‘Window Shopping’
have garnered high media attention and
conversation. Her up and coming children’s
horror comic book is soon to be published.
April Winter
April Winter lives and works on a small island off
the coast of British Columbia. She creates playful
yet introspective self-portraits in self built, often
claustrophobic sets. Her work revolves around
the transformations of these little worlds, filling the
space with found, made or borrowed objects to
tell a story; often about such topics as sexuality,
utopia and isolation.
