Queen of tarts
ALICE IN MARTHALAND

Remember when RagingYoghurt first began? It was a final year design school project - a zine about junk food and punk music - and it never made it past that photocopied, held together by gluestick prototype.

Years later this girl in San Francisco called Karen, puts out PekoPeko - a zine about food - all scribbly little drawings and letterpressed covers you can sink your fingertips into. In the memory of Yoghurt past, I had to be in it.

This is a drawing for a story about one woman's descent into the dark twisted rabbit hole that is Martha Stewart Living, as a hapless recipe tester outwitted by a team of food stylists and a difficult apricot tart. Martha Stewart Living is the parallel universe I want to live in sometimes, where there are never any issues or problems, except for stuff like when and how to pack away the winter flannel sheets, and what shapes finger sandwiches can be cut into.
