Purr magazine was created and published by Simon Henwood in the early nineties. It was was distributed all over the world and became a small cult phenomina - sporning a record lable, publishing company and gallery. The last issue appeared in 1995.
Henwood went on to publish Alice magazine (see below) and coridinate a series of exhibitions and conferences on the influences of childhood in art and the media.
Purr was the first magazine to attempt to combine art, comics , music and litarature under one umbrella. Well known and up and coming Artist's, Musicans and Writers were invited to colaborate with each other on projects for the magazine.
