 Ambit  no. 33 1967

Back in the late 60s I produced aseries of advertisements which Iplaced in various publications ( Ambit ,

New Worlds,  Ark   and various

continental alternative magazines),

doing the art work myself and

arranging for the blockmaking, and

then delivering the block to theparticular ournal ust as would a

commercial advertiser! "f course I

was advertising my own conceptualideas, but I wanted to do so within

the formal circumstances of classic

commercial advertising # I wantedads that would look in place in

Vogue, Paris Match, Newsweek , etc!

 $o maintain the integrity of the

proect I paid the commercial rate forthe page, even in the case of %mbit

of which I was and still am proseeditor! I would have liked to have

branched out into Vogue  and

Newsweek , but cost alone stoppedme !!! (Ballard, &'* &+)
