Beneficial Shock! #9

Beneficial Shock! is a bi-annual magazine for film lovers and illustration enthusiasts that champions progressive thinking from contemporary image-makers. Rather than your standard film magazine full of reviews, celebrity news and press images, Beneficial Shock! aims to use illustration, and visual storytelling in humorous and unconventional ways to expressively interpret film related content.

A wise Argonaut once said that “the gods want their entertainment” and to creatively paraphrase the Bard: “All the World’s a Game and we are merely players”.
