Welcome to Snaggletooth Magazine’s Issue 16, it’s such a pleasure to have you! Thank you for taking the time to meditate upon the art of our ever-talented contributors. Watching these distinct pieces become one cohesive body of work through the collaboration of so many creative minds has been nothing short of magic.

Issue 16 explores ideas of freedom and confinement, family, solitude and its ever-present partner, love. Be prepared to dive into lakes, trudge through swamps, and traverse wetlands that have all but dried to salt. While the figures of this issue stare straight out towards you, the writing encourages you to turn inward. The art asks you to consider the tumult and beauty of the seemingly mundane—family histories, party hangovers, and speedin’ down the freeway.

Welcome and we hope you enjoy!
