The central theme of wound for summer 2009 is 'la grande illusion'. The new close-up section concentrates on electro musician peaches. This brand new section provides a unique perspective on a different artist every quarter, which gives a personal sense of the individual through concepts and ideas. Curatorial in approach, rather than celebrity-watching, the reader is given a sense of the featured individual, her specific talents, ideas and inspirations.

Before I was a full time geek, I spent many years working in the health care field. One of the classes I hated the most in college was pharmacology. Learning all the possible interactions to different medications was more than I really wanted to know. I only had to learn a small portion of the drugs, I feel for doctors and pharmacists that need to know most all interactions.
