In 2017, Egg Box Publishing took over Octarine, a student-run magazine at UEA. Each issue of Octarine is based around a theme that is represented by a quote for contributors to responses to be based around.
 
This issue's theme was self-portrait and contributors were asked to respond to the following quote from Frida Kahlo: "I paint self-portraits because I am often so alone, because I am the person I know best."
 
Thank you to the following contributors: Emily Mildren, Lucy Caradog, William Walker, Lotty Clare, Eilish Mullane, Sam Edwards, Maddy Caulfield, Imogen Barton, Alfie Kirk, Mara Frampton, Kyle Pooley, and Jono.
 
This publication also features illustrations from Amber Donovan Stevens.
