Scene Setting
A late-afternoon glow settles over a Brooklyn rooftop as Living Proof – Issue 12 rests on a metal table, its soft-cover spine catching the sun like it knows a secret. Someone off-screen flips to Shoreline Mafia, unhurried, as if time agreed to pause.
Product Description
In Living Proof – Issue 12, the world feels arranged with the same meticulously odd charm as a color-coded bulletin board in a skater-artist’s apartment. This 189-page soft-cover time capsule gathers the rebels, the illustrators, the photographers, the musicians, and the quietly brilliant oddballs who orbit downtown culture like it’s their natural habitat.
Inside, Shoreline Mafia trades energy with the steady calm of Lucien Clarke. Slawn’s mischief meets Verdy’s signature precision. Gray Sorrenti’s photography steals entire minutes from the room, while EVIKT, Taito Itateyama, Eztag, and Stunna Sandy stitch together a cross-continental thread of art that feels unfiltered and perfectly out of step. Hjalte Halberg, Qendresa, Footwork, Devon Turnbull, and Niontay appear like cameos in a film you’d watch twice to catch every quiet detail.
Printed at 8.5×11", the magazine reads like a curated archive—one part skate diary, one part street-level anthology, one part creative whisper passed hand to hand. Issue 12 is for the person who appreciates a soft-cover mag with some heft, a story that unfolds without hurry, and a cast of contributors who don’t seem concerned with following anyone else’s script.
