A set of questionable riso prints I’ll have at TCAF in addition to the zines & funnies (more details next week).
This is what they look like in manly pink and regular blue. Printed by Ryan Sands of Youth In Decline who’s bringing Frontier#1: Uno Morales to TCAF next week. I’ve been translating Ryan & Uno’s correspondences over the last few months—there’s a lot of love & thought put into this book, it will be a thing of beauty!

Hey gang, I finally have NEW PRINTS for sale!
Hang a print of Ulysses on your wall to impress an oppsexed/samesexed person (quote heaventree of stars etc), not sure if male or female in a forest to make him/her think you’re in touch with nature, buttocksniffing dawgs for um yes OK! butt not today, little hands and delicious combover for a touch of well fashun, Halloween if you’re from the past, Locus Solus to really impress your smarty-pants friends (great icebreaker, mention the blood-vomiting cock and Roussel’s automobile admired by the Pope & Mussolini) and some old garbage. Uh, why do I even bother…
(this is how it looked unassembled & tapeless)
Violent warm-up doodle.
But hey Tumblr, I have two new prints on inPRNT—Nine Writers & Dragonball Z in addition to all the existing decadence.
Joris-Karl Huysmans, the king of decadence. A print of my Des Esseintes illustration is now on my INPRNT page along with a couple of new pcs, including the Lady Gaga drawing and the drowned corset lady from Impressions of Africa.
Huysmans’s humor is usually dark and uninhibitedly bitter, but here’s a pretty charming line from With The Flow: “Widow Chabanel had been replaced by the concierge, who pummelled the bedclothes into shape with his fists, and made pets of spiders, whose webs he looked after”.
And from the same book, a brief account of the protagonist’s birth:
“An aunt who, albeit no midwife, was expert in this kind of task, decanted the child, wiped him clean with butter and, so as to avoid the expense of lycopodium, powdered his thighs with flour she had scraped off the crust of a loaf of bread. ‘You see, my lad, you had a humble birth,’ Aunt Audore used to say, after putting him right about these small details; and Jean was already resigned to the absence of any well-being in his future life.”

For the first time I’m selling originals, and not for personal gain, but for Meg Hunt’s art4japan auction. There’s Gloveshead Revisited and the dreamy one. The prints/funnies are still up for sale too.
Also, my Anthology Project v2 story, Vacuum Cleaner got into 3x3 Illustration Annual 8 (it’s always the over-rendered stuff, sigh). The book is now available for sale and it’s a real beauty with gorgeous comics by Sam Bosma, Joy Ang, Aurélie Neyret and other brilliant people.
And I’ll be posting new drawings soon, promise!
