Introducing The Daddy Longlegs
A literary magazine created in collaboration with Predator Apparel
Welcome to The Daddy Longlegs — a new literary magazine, a physical object, a place where stories and images come together with care.
This project began in partnership with Predator Apparel, a fashion label rooted in storytelling. Together, we imagined a space where language and design could meet — where words and visuals could be held, not just seen.
Right now, The Daddy Longlegs is taking its first steps. And this blog is where it all begins.
The Vision
This is a space for the curious, the honest, and the unafraid.
For writing that feels alive.
For poetry that sits with you.
For visual work that doesn’t need to explain itself.
We take inspiration from The Moth, from the zine cultures that came before us, and from the kind of expression that values feeling over perfection. The Daddy Longlegs was created to hold space for work that resonates — in print and online.
Whether it’s words on a page or visuals on a screen, we’re here for creative work that connects.
