I've noticed an increased activity in Chicago right now with publications; the 2nd issue of the super attractive Proximity Magazine was just released and I've just caught wind of Prompt, another locally created publication with writing that extends so far beyond our Chicago socio-sphere.

In particular I picked up a Prompt to read the DIY, WHY? essay and was pleased. Conrad Bakker presents a well composed, analytical survey of DIY from 1940 to the present, breaking down many of the different manifestations of DIY from Punk Rock to Martha Stewart. Of personal note was the connection between DIY and entrepreneurship, which is relevant to everyone who's in a creative capacity and/or on a hustle.

Both Prompt and Proximity available at Golden Age.
