Brain Candy Issue 5 is all about Miis, and we want your art, illustrations, comics, and writing. Wii Sports, Tomodachi Life, Miitopia, Mario Kart… if it has Miis in it, it counts! If you’ve ever made an embarrassing Mii of someone you know, it counts even more.

After a long wait in the dark, Brain Candy Magazine Issue #4: The Sweet & The Strange has arrived. A dream stitched together from over 60 pages of poetry, artwork, short stories, essays, and even music, this is our strangest and most ambitious issue yet! This issue is a love letter to the beautiful work of David Lynch.

You can enter The Candy Jar and experience the issue now on our website.

Because this issue spans 60+ pages, we highly recommend downloading the PDF. Though, if you'd rather wander through it in your browser, that door is open too.

Endless thanks to all of our contributors for filling these pages with such surreal magic and heartfelt work. And a very special thank you to Stephen Ground for allowing us to feature his haunting photograph "Subterrain" as our cover image. You can view more of his work within the zine itself.

With just one sweet little month to go before our David Lynch issue deadline drifts into view (February 24, 2026), we’re feeling extra excited!

We hope everyone had a cozy, wonderful holiday! We’ve already received so many lovely submissions, especially beautiful video and audio pieces, and we’d love to see more visual art join the fun.

If there’s enough interest, we’re happy to let the deadline linger a bit longer into March… just say the word!

Brain Candy Magazine is creating a very special themed issue: The Sweet and the Strange.

We’re looking for art of all kinds (visual, written, experimental, and hybrid) as long as it connects back to David Lynch. Your submission can be inspired by his films and characters, philosophies, the uncanny, or his recurring themes of duality, like good vs. evil, or in our case: the sweetness inside the strange! All we ask is that your work includes a brief note about how Lynch inspired it, whether that’s a direct reference or influence.

Let this issue be a tribute to the worlds he built and the ones he helped us build inside ourselves.

Submissions are open until February 24th, 2026.
