Fatboy Zine
A Greedy Attempt to Document Asian Food and Identity
Occasional
$14.00
UK
This small publication is a peek inside one person’s food life growing up as part of the Asian Diaspora. Full of personal stories, photography and recipes, each issue is packed with illustration and color that is inspired by Asian food packaging. The creator, Chris O’Leary, uses the pages to examine his experiences, from Hong Kong to the Philippines to the UK, and all the influences each has on the other. Recipes are as personal as the photography, and the whole small package is terrific. One of the great small indie mags!
