UPPERCASE
UPPERCASE is a magazine for the creative and curious! We’re inquisitive: learning from other artists, illustrators, designers, photographers, filmmakers and musicians. We’re inspired: enchanted by great ideas and strange inventions; by colour and pattern; things fancy and frugal; the charm of vintage in a modern life; the ridiculous and the sublime. We’re adventurous: traveling to destinations both real and imagined, peeking into creative spaces and discovering magnificent people and memorable places. We’re eclectic: curating souvenirs, collecting treasures and celebrating the extraordinary in the everyday. We’re playful: delighting in visual amusements, intelligent distraction, entertaining wordplay and sweet indulgences.
