Prominent Oakland/Texas/Jamaica photographer Lenworth "Joonbug" McIntosh wasn't always into film. Joon has been sketching, cartooning, muraling and logo designing for many years, and he's back big time for his solo show in San Francisco, Mass Inc..

Friday, February 16th // 6P-9P // 1000 Howard St. San Francisco.
Exhibit ends March 16th"

Snakeskins
We’re proud to annouce a gorgeous new poetry chapbook by our friend Addison Bale: “Snakeskins”! Addison is an artist and poet from New York City. This collection of four parts touches on life, love, and existence. The words are complemented by striking imagery from Brooklyn based artist Julia Blasius. The release show at Molasses Books, Brooklyn was a blast and if you didn't get a copy there you can find one online here.
BUT
Between Us Two is a dream-like viewing into the mind of Singaporean visual artist Wei Keong. Riso printed on legal sized Finch Vanilla and French Pop-tone, hand sewn and stapled in an edition of 100 this zine is a special keepsake, and hopefully the first in a series of Wei's experiments with print. Poetry and printing by Mollie of Irrelevant Press. We are very excited to finally share this collaborative accomplishment with the world.

Our Friend Wolfman
hey again,
So if you are Oakland Loakcal you will know that we love E.M. WOLFMAN GENERAL INTEREST SMALL BOOKSTORE (and you do too). If you are not local (i.e. Holly & Sarah) then you should go to their website RIGHT NOW and look at all the marvelous things and pretend you are actually inside the store.
But we are not here to only promote Wolfman Books in a non-specific way, we are here to say that our talented member, jack of all trades, dear friend HOLLY MEADOWS SMITH wrote a piece for their new Quarterly Magazine! (A real life published mag filled to the brim with people we know and admire) It's all about the most inspiring people we ever did know, Unity. You can even check it out here.
That's not all - our printer of printers, man about town, meticulous and selfless member MOLLIE UNDERWOOD made 1,300 holiday cards for the said store! They are 4.75 x 4.75, red riso inked, scored and folded 80# uncoated card stock, and there are 13 of them! The cards are not only clever and funny, they're useful too! Send them to your estranged child, your step-aunt, your eldest sister's ex girlfriend, the possibilities are truly endless. Go to the 13th Street store and see them all for yourself.
