If you’ve ever believed in or even had a remote dalliance with outsider art, with DIY culture then Penny-Ante should be a name etched onto your heart. Taking contributions, not just cast-offs, from some of the most inspirational minds, activists and artists of their – our, your dammit, generation and putting them all in one beautifully bound place Penny-Ante have created, curated perhaps, a portable haven. So the fat pleb on the bus is gassing you with Dan Brown – fuck them, take Three from your bag and revel in it. Your friends might wonder what the fuss is about but come on in; this can be our little club." (SUBBA-CULTURE) -- Full feature here "...Compiling art, writing, and interviews, and general artistic miscellany into bound anthologies with little concern for what some might see as cohesive, but great concern for what is good art and interesting reading... As are all Penny-Antes volumes, Three is a mixed bag, where a piece of Jad Fair’s artwork can coexist with a printed email to a clergyman inquiring as to how to become “unbatized.” But this is what makes Penny-Ante’s books so interesting. One can pick up a volume, open to a random page, and discover. And that is what independent publishing should be about." (UNDER THE RADAR) "Started in 2006, LA’s Penny-Ante has become one of the largest independent, underground art/poetry “mag/books” around. Made up of mostly musicians working in the field of art or poetry, Penny-Ante brings you into the artistic endeavors of some of the music world’s most interesting figures as well as interviews with select artists." (FOXY DIGITALIS) -- Full feature here "A massive collection of interviews, artwork, poetry, short stories, published conversations, autobiographical writings and extensive essays, highlights of 'Penny-Ante, Three' includes interviews with musicians such as Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard, Billy Bragg and Fugazi's Ian Mackaye. There are poems from Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Billy Childish and the Cleaners from Venus' Martin Newell ; a story from the Deviants' Mick Farren and art work from Childish again, Mission of Burma's Roger Miller, Dead Meadow's Stephen McCarty and Hole and Mazzy Star's Jill Emery as well as both established and cult artists such as Julian Hoeber, Dawn Kasper and Steve Vanoni." (PENNYBLACKMUSIC.co.uk) -- Full feature here "Limited to 2500, this square-bound, softcover mag/book features a 320-page collection of personal writings and visual work from just about every other person you could possibly name drop..."
