2 risograph prints. one is a collection of images: a molted cicada shell and a bundle of plant stalks trailing off into tendrils & tied by a yellow ribbon over panels of train tracks surrounded by grass & trees under a reddish sky; the dark entrance to a tunnel; a shadowy crowd. the other shows foliage hangs around a looming cave mouth—total darkness hides whatever may be inside. in a small panel above, slashes of red spill out into swirls of teal & ochre. risograph printed cover art for Side Story: an assemblage of panels showing glimpses into different scenes and symbols: ruins in an arch, a doorway over the sea, a ladder against a tree, a kite in the sky; dice, knucklebone, hourglass, clover chain. a comet sweeps over scattered flames, suspended between a starry night sky & a nervous system. symbols (an eye, a sickle, a drop of blood, texts on a phone, a mushroom, lightning, a mirror, a bird) are arranged in small panels around the scene. a biological tree of life poster: small panels show examples of animals from different phyla, including spiralia (octopus, giant clam), chordata (birds, mammals, fish), amblacraria (urchins, sea stars), and porifera (sponges). behind them are curving branches of a symbolic tree, in shades of blue. other panel sequences show different cellular processes, and the sun & moon in endless procession.

has anybody who wholesales prints / has their work in stores figured out a way to package without plastic or at least something a little less "will be around forever" than poly sleeves.. i get why the expectation is bag + board but it's one of the reasons why i'm hesitant to do that....

the man without a map (1968, dir. teshigahara hiroshi) #watching
the top of a man's face is just visible over an extremely blurred close-up of a shoulder a man in a suit kneels facing another kneeling man, whose shadow forms a 3rd figure on the empty wall to the right passerby walk by large glass windows, buildings visible on the other side and reflections of a mountain scene making the depth unclear a woman's face extremely out of focus so it's just a blur, a fountain running in the background

new minicomic(s) - Formless Formless is a collection of 1-10 page exercises and experiments, partly made to try to get back into making comics again. About: a dream, a deal, fish, telling stories, remembering, or more. 24 pages, 5×7in, risograph printed in black (interiors) + bright gold (covers)
riso-printed cover for Formless Formless by A Liang Chan: the title is in spiky vertical almost illegible lettering in gold-brown, under small panels in black with snippets of scenes. Interior cover with table of contents and a fragmented comic of meeting someone you don't remember in a dream. A comic spread: "Sympathy" in lettering made of broken branches. A villager walks through a forest and finds a goose-like bird with an arrow through its neck, which begins to speak. A comic spread: on the left is a full page of the sky over the ocean, a silhouette looking out over the perfectly centered horizon. On the right, 3 people on an island go about various tasks, and meet on a terrace for a meal.

without a new tent, my friend Ahmad's family of 11 is living under the precarious rubble of their destroyed home. they're very cold and very hungry. because of gfm's fees, he's switched to chuffed, which takes less of a cut. please consider helping him if you can ❤️‍🩹
