Beneficial Shock! Issue 10 (Journeys and Destinations) is now 10 issues old (young?) and so a perfect time to take a closer look at journeys in the widest sense.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 8 (Awe and Wonder) is here. Beneficial Shock! are unconventional cinematic adventures. Championing progressive thinking by Illustrators, Graphic Designers and image makers. Based in Bristol, United Kingdom.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 7 (Together/Apart) is here. In this issue you’ll discover why twins and doppelgängers often scare us silly, meet the unconventional ‘family’ at the heart of Duncan Jones’s Moon, confront aliens and alienation in Greg Araki’s Queer LA of the 1990s and (possibly) cry at the saddest movie goodbyes. Oh, and that’s just for starters.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 6 (Courage & Strength) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. The courage to face any kind of adversity, and the strength it often takes to persevere is what we explore in this issue, and film offers up some doozies when it comes to bold acts of brawn and epic feats of fearlessness.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 5 (Secrets & Lies) is out now. It's this shady area of moral ambiguity that we explore in issue 5 of your favourite illustrated movie magazine, as we shine a light into those dark corners where unscrupulous deals are done, dangerous truths are hidden and illusions are created to pacify the masses.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 4 (War & Peace) is out now: The War & Peace issue. It is the biggest issue yet, full of explosive visuals and illuminating text to inspire the hero’s journey!
Beneficial Shock! Issue 3 (Sex) is out now. The beast with two backs, hot yoga, mingling limbs, venerean mirth. However you describe sex, we're all at it or if not, quite often thinking about it.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 2 (Mind) is out now. From 'The Method' employed by actors to fully inhabit a character to dangerous little vermin literally invading our brains intent on devilish mind control, the content of this issue should get your own grey matter going.
Beneficial Shock! Issue 1 (Food) is here Food doesn’t just fill our bellies, it is labored over, passionately discussed and is the diverse glue that binds many families and communities together. But, as we’ll see, it is also on occasion used as the basis of alien artillery, stepped on, penetrated, stabbed and thrown.
