It's time for a special feature now on Felice and Daisy from the fantastic Untold Method which has a new issue out tomorrow. Untold Method is a really sweet gathering of creativity, prose and imagery that gives the reader something fun and inspirational. Untold Method has a real quality and some great contributors. So please take a look at the forces behind this wonderful project and make sure to check out the fabulous Untold Method.
1. Who are you?
Daisy: I am a slowly
introverting snail who writes too much.
Felice: Don't really
know how to follow that…. I'm an artist and the co-editor of Untold
Method (with a certain snail as my co-pilot).
2. What brought you
together?
Felice: Unfortunately
we're related, by blood, and have known each other for far too long
(we're sisters).
Daisy: Mutual obsessive
qualities tend to rub off on someone when you share a room with them
for seventeen years.
Felice: And during that
period we shared and sought out new art to impress and inspire each
other. As we got older, separated and began our voyages into
adulthood, it became clear that despite there being a large distance
between us, we needed to collaborate on something creative together.
Daisy: And so, on
Felice's wedding (29th June 2011) a big group of people, including
ourselves, started to talk about putting together a magazine. At the
time it was sketchy at best but it took shape very quickly.
Felice: We had a lot of
big idea's to start off (Music/Art /Gaming/Prose blogs with content
updated daily across each platform, interviews, tutorials and even
more) but as time went on and our separate careers started demanding
more time we realised we needed to whittle it down to something
simple and close to our hearts. So we cut out most of the content and
decided to keep it to a small themed series of free PDF magazines
focusing solely on art, prose and comics.
3. What's your
favourite thing about Untold Method?
Daisy: From a writing
point of view I love being pushed to find new writers and explore
different areas I didn't think would yield them, like blogs for
instance. There are a whole load of amazing blogs out there with
juicy posts ready for the picking.
Felice: Our graphic
novel, written by Michael Cooper and drawn by some incredible
artists, plus the fact that the magazine is a massive source of
inspiration for me.
4. What is your
manifesto?
Felice: Real art, no
bullshit. That means art that we feel has been made from the heart
and conveys some sort of message or idea. We also want to promote
things that we find beautiful whether or not it fits with what’s
fashionable at the time.
Daisy: We want
something that we can look at or read and feel inspired by, that
sounds a little vague I know, but we want it to work against trends,
taking risks and mixing different media’s or genres. We like to be
surprised.
5. What does the future
hold?
Daisy: Apart from world
domination? Just messing. We're already forming
ideas for our next project. After the last issue of Untold Method
(Issue 6, December 1st 2012), we want to continue publishing
Philistone on its own website and collaborating our own writing and
art to make something fun.
Felice: And of course
we have our own separate careers as well, Daisy has just finished the
first draft of her first novel and will begin perfecting it soon.
While I'm preparing for my first solo show in East London next year
so we've got plenty to keep us busy!
