Issue 3 of Lovecat: The Model Fanzine, published as The Art Issue. Cover and featured imagery by Mr. Brainwash, including treatments of Cindy Crawford, Andy Warhol, Kate Moss, Brigitte Bardot, and Twiggy. Includes art/fashion material around Chuck Close, Raphael Mazzucco, Anja Konstantinova, Raica Oliveira, Heidi Lindgren, Julia Zimmer, Amanda Lewis, and Naty Chabanenko.

A fashion fanzine passing through Pop, street art, celebrity image culture, and magazine-as-object. The issue belongs to the early 2010s moment when fashion print, Tumblr-era image circulation, and post-Banksy street art aesthetics overlapped. Warhol is not just referenced; he becomes the operating system: celebrity, repetition, surface, quote, circulation.

A printed support for model culture after Pop. Magazine, poster, art insert, and promotional object held together by staples.
