So we have done it again. We have written to people we admire and asked them a simple question. This time around we have compiled their answers into a 36 A4 page fanzine. Hope *3 asks the question what gave you the inspiration to start doing what you are doing and what inspires you to continue. We wanted positivity, hoping for something that will give you the urge to create, communicate positively and look for good in the world. There’s a lot of corners we could turn around that wouldn’t have this good on them but we want to be on the positivity street.
