Art Prostitute

Texans are known for being plainspoken, and the fellas behind this call-it-like-they-see-it art magazine are no exception. Started in 2003 by Brian Gibb and Mark Searcy, the quarterly Art Prostitute features work by artists who "depend on their creativity to survive." Each issue's production values are high — including heavy paper, full-bleed color spreads, cool design, and pull-out posters — so even at $20 bucks a pop, you more than get what you pay for. -Annette Ferrara
