Hi-Fructose began as a quarterly print art magazine, founded by artists, Attaboy and Annie Owens in 2005. Hi-Fructose focuses squarely on the art which transcends genre and trend, assuring readers thorough coverage and content that is informative and original. Hi-Fructose showcases an amalgamation of new contemporary, emerging as well distinguished artists, with a spotlight on awe inspiring spectacles from round the world.

Hi-Fructose goes beyond the comfort zone of the “alternative” norm to deliver a diverse cross section of the most influential, genre bending art of our time as well as breaking new and amazing talents.

Attaboy's irreverent sense of humor, writing, and art, combined with his unique outlook has garnered him a loyal fan base of parents, kids, and strange people.
