Issues

Inside the Vast V, a droplet-flecked watercolor image of a silhouetted couple in wedding dress and suit facing away from the viewer and leaning into one another. In black and white outside the V, disembodied eyes of different shapes and sizes peer toward the couple and the viewer.
Issue 19 – July 2026
Two rows of weathered windows across a garage-like door with peeling white paint sit behind a loose chain curtain. The image is bisected by the signature Vast "V." Within the "V," a distraction from the distress: swirling colors--a mixture of bright and pastel pinks, yellows, and even a hint of green--reminiscent of flowers rendered in water-color.
Issue 18 – April 2026
In the central V, a brightly-stylized photo of a young child in motion on a rope swing. Outside the V, a background of grayscale streamers hanging from the ceiling like the portal to another world.
Issue 17 – January 2026
An empty road is crowded by grayscale fog and dark pines, bisected by the signature Vast "V." Within the "V" is a fractured reflection of people on their own or in small groups. They walk among reflected blue sky and shining surfaces, endlessly repeating and distorting their surroundings.
Issue 16 – October 2025
A black and white, patterned stone dome seen from below is bisected by the signature Vast "V." Within the "V" is a wooden room terminating in a worn stone doorframe. Through the doorframe we see a cave mouth opening onto distant mountains at sunset.
Issue 15 – July 2025
Inside the v-shaped foreground, a blooming pink flower overlays a bright campfire. In the background grayscale water meets a clouded sky.
Issue 14 – April 2025
A hand holds a cone of orange ice cream shaped like a flower in front of a distant background of exploding fireworks.
Issue 13 – January 2025
A blurred image of a human figure stands in front of an indistinct crowd and a vibrant tree line
Issue 12 – October 2024
A black and white New York skyline is bisected by the Vast Chasm V with a dirt path and green and gold grasses leading off toward the horizon.
Issue 11 – July 2024

Issue 10 – April 2024
A covered bridge centered in the Vast V. Tire track mark the snow on the bridge. Within the V, shimmering iridescent colors stand out from the black and white background.
Issue 9 – January 2024
Three elk top a grassy ridge. They are evenly spaced, the one in the middle centered in a bold V shape. Within the V, the sky is crystalized into abstract shades that fade from blue at the horizon to almost pink against the upper edge of the frame.
Issue 8 – October 2023
Image
Issue 6 – April 2023
Inside a bold V shape, a bird sits on a thin branch. It appears to be painted with delicate strokes of blue and orange among a few raspberry-colored leaves. Outside the V, the image in black and white, the branches and leaves cold and muted.
Issue 7 – July 2023
Looking across a field blanketed in flowers. The image is in black and white, with a V cut through the center. Inside the V with the texture of a loose-knit blanket, small, pink blossoms stand in the foreground while distant hills soften the horizon.
Issue 5 – January 2023
Looking down upon the dangerous place where water meets rock. The image is in black and white, with a V cut through the center. Inside the V, the rocks to the right are vibrant; to the left, the water is a swirling mix of toxic aqua blue, green, and yellow.
Issue 4 – October 2022
The side of a building with many fire escapes. The photo appears in black and white with a V-shaped center section in bright, comic-book style color, the building vibrant orange-red.
Issue 2 – April 2022
A cluster of barrel cacti dominated by their spiky spines. The image is split with a black V shape and the center of the V is in full color with the sides remaining in black and white.
Issue 3 – July 2022
A fallen, yellow leaf lays on a rock, ice melting around it. The photo appears in black and white with a V-shaped center section in bright, water-colors.
