Meet the makers
Abstract’s editorial team work to showcase the very best of Cardiff street art.
Emily Owen: Photography
With a keen interest in expressionistic and pre-Raphaelite art, Emily worked as Abstract’s photo and video editor. Her job was to scour the city to capture the best of Cardiff’s street art murals and to talk to local artists to really get a feel for the scene.
Anna Morgan: Sub Editor
Abstract’s sub-editor, Anna, used her keen eye for detail to ensure the magazine’s content was in slick shape. With a love for sculpture and textiles, she now adds street art to her list of artistic interests.
Jessie-Ann Lewis: Art Editor
Jessie began designing graphics aged 13 and it was this passion that enabled her to fulfil her role as Art Editor, which included designing pages and creating Abstract’s unique “look”.
Jon Harries: Production
Production editor, Jonathan, kept an eye on the whole process to compile the magazine and ensure everything ran smoothly. His artistic interests include post-impressionist and post-modern art.
These innovative portraits were created by Abstract’s cover artist, Molly Spicer. For a look into Molly’s artistic inspirations and aspirations, check out the video below:

New magazine, Abstract, adds a little colour to online publishing platform ISSUU.
A magazine that explores the street art scene in Cardiff, and aims to enhance people’s knowledge and appreciation of the contemporary art form, is due to launch this week.
According to Anna Morgan, member of the editorial team, the publication will include interviews with established local street artists, such as Phil Morgan and Dan Green, and an in-depth look at the UK’s oldest graffiti supply shop, Oner Signs. It will also feature exclusive artwork by aspiring street artist, Molly Spicer.
The magazine launch is timely as it follows last week’s unveiling of a new street art mural of Welsh singer, Gwenno Saunders, on Womanby Street.
Abstract will be launched and published on Thursday 10 December, but you can have a sneak peak at the first issue below.
