Exit Strategy 02: The Outbreak b/w The Break Out

Exit Strategy, a series of art annuals published by the Abide Visuals Multimedia Juggernaut, builds on the tradition of independently published portfolio journals, high-end art-driven magazines and artist-produced 'zines in an attempt to push those genres forward. AVMJ is dedicated to keeping Exit Strategy independent and commercial-free while maintaining the highest production standards, allowing for the widest range of artistic freedom and integrity to be represented in the maximum number of pages each issue and an avenue for artists to have their work seen in the most competent and professional manner possible by their peers and critics worldwide.

Exit Strategy proves to only get bigger, stronger and more unique with each release. Issue Two will boast over 70 commercial-free pages of original art, interviews and, beginning with this issue, an EXT.STG. exclusive five song 10" vinyl EP. The new issue will be available in early November 2006 in a standard edition of 500 and a special "White Label" run limited to just 100 copies.

In keeping with the two-sidedness of records, the contributing artists were asked to do two pieces that will run back-to-back, rather than the spreads found in Issue One. The theme? The Outbreak b/w The Break Out.

Jesse LeDoux (Rhode Island), Attaboy (SF Bay Area), P. Williams (Seal Beach CA), Tim Karpinski (Portland OR), Emil Kozak (Spain), Christopher Sleboda (Connecticut), UPSO (Toledo, OH), Bill Dunlap (SF/Maryland), Ryan Waller (NYC), Steak Mtn (Brooklyn), John Stuart Berger (Sacramento), Skinner (Sacramento), Mike Stilkey (LA), Marie Luise Emmermann (Berlin), Jared Konopitski (Sacramento), Adam Miller (LA), Craig Atkinson (UK), Judd Hertzler (Sacramento), Rotem Najar (Israel), Georgina Vieane (Netherlands), Scott Barry (San Francisco), Graciela Guardado (Los Angeles), Ella Kilgour (UK), Richard St. Ofle (Sacramento), Sophie Stubbs (Scotland), Aaron Winters (Sacramento), Dan Herrera & Ashley Harris (Sacramento), Donnie Bauer & Angel D'Amico (Chicago) and more.
