Under Pressure magazine

Under Pressure magazine is published twice a year, it isn't your typical magazine its focused as being more of a collectible and is all about canada. It focuses any tons of different aspects from rappers to boxers and photographers. It was started as a graffiti magazine focus on the roots of canadian graffiti. The magazine was started and is still owned by Sterling Downey,

I had the pleasure of spending a night with sterling downey earlier this year at the after party for the wall to canvas event in Burlington VT and got to talk to him a little bit about the magazine and the whole idea behind the events they put on and what its all about.

The first thing he had to say was that its about canada first and foremost,and that everything about it is a pain in the ass. We chatted about mostly about some of the friends and acquaintances that we share in the boston graffiti world. and other random things but, he said one thing to me that I remember clearly,said Im out at 20 years, once the events and magazine makes it to 20 Im done. He was honestly one of the coolest dudes that I have met.

Under pressure its self is responsible for many things other than the magazine it hold an annual international graffiti competition every year. as well as hosting tons of concerts and and different events all located in canada.
