We all have moments where we want to be whisked away. For some of us, carefully imagined, intricately executed illustration and art will do it. For others, words are the trick. For pretty much all of us though, both together is even better.

Thank Popshot magazine for satisfying your visual, verbal, fantastical cravings. After seven years biannually publishing new writing (poetry, flash fiction and short stories) in a clean sans serif typeface and collaborating with over 300 illustrators, Popshot have decided to release their first animated cover for their new Adventure-themed April issue, from illustrator Thomas Danthony and animator Christopher van Wilson.

The fifteenth issue of Popshot magazine sees 17 illustrations and 20 authors join force. Watch the animation here - and read on below for more beautiful illustrations from inside the magazine.
