IT ALL STARTED WITH A PICNIC

On March 10, 2007 a group of UC Davis undergraduate freshmen congregated on the grassy terrain of the West Quad. Over cucumber sandwiches and bags of Doritos, the 8-member founding editorial board of Nameless Magazine was born.

After 6 months of get-togethers in Regan Main and nightly AIM conversations, the group’s optimistic goal of building a collective arts community was realized.

In early October, the Fall 2007 pilot issue of the baby magazine was released online. Since then, Nameless and its editorial board have instituted regular prose, poetry and art workshops as well as a quarterly reading in order to promote a supportive outlet for writers and artists.

AND THEN TYLER CAME ALONG

In December of 2007, Tyler Fyotek - then Editor-in-Chief of Produce, UC Davis’ undergraduate literary magazine - came to the editors of Nameless with an offer they couldn’t refuse. He proposed a merger between the two groups in order to further unite the literary and arts community.

Produce was previously known as Seele, and before that as Monkey Rhythms. Endorsed by the English department, it has long established itself as a sounding board for the creative pursuits of UC Davis students.

With this merger in place, Nameless Magazine hopes to slowly - and discreetly - take over the world. Or at least half of it.
