Dystopian Period Zine
This was a really cool one, crazy topic and incredible designs.
We printed on French Paper Co (duh) Starch White Speckletone cover and text.

You can make zines about anything! Mochi Mode is a great example of that. Riso printed in medium blue on Springhill Vellum. By Jason Mai and Lisa Inoue.

inflammatory affirmations and really beautiful people
Well we are obviously having fun with our newest color: FLAT GOLD
It’s going quick, get in on it while you can ✨
Our first book of 2019 is nearly completed. MY SKIN IS BLACK UPON ME, MY BONES THEY BURN WITH HEAT, by Christian Johnson, is an “ontological odyssey” compiled over several years. MY SKIN IS BLACK is a photo book containing commentary, essays and interviews from Christian’s friends and life. Christian is a Bay Area native cinephile and director, who sees life through a very specific lens – this book lets you get a glimpse into his psyche and heart. Spanning over 250 pages, this book is our biggest yet, and we are so looking forward to sharing it.
Stay tuned for its pre-release and release show, likely in early January 2019.
We have a 1.5’’ button maker and want to make pins with you!
Send us over your artwork, mottos, logos etc. and we’ll help you make it wearable. Any format’s fine for us but there are some handy templates here should you be interested.
$10 for set up and $0.30 per pin, shipping included.
Pricing on orders over 200 pins might vary a bit, but we can chat :)
We’re four weeks in!
Here’s some photos if you’ve somehow missed any:
We just finished riso-ing this really cute comic! Our first ever time using orchid! This comic is not one but two in one! The first half is called Kitty Marmalade and is about a 20-something year old living at home trying to make it big (on Instragram). The second half is Grumpy Bun, about a barista at “Moonbucks” and all the sh*t he has to put up with day to day. We loved working on this and are so excited for everyone to see it.

We’ve been buuuusy.
We learned how to sew (machine) and finished our cyanotype zine (with Coco Spencer).
2. We made lots of new pins (and stickers!!), one of which is THIS.
They should all now be in the trusty webstore.
3. We did even MORE sewing, this time by hand, for the newest run of an oldie but goodie, hornet’s nest.
3. New little zine out, just for fun. We’re playing with different riso inks on different paper colors and learning lots. This one will only be available in person and as part of soon-coming grab bags!
4. Three down only one more to go! We just added CROP CIRCLES to the pack
5. Last but not least: you may recall that we started a weekly project that will go on until 2019. We are about to put out our THIRD poster! Yay! Thank you to Ryanaustin who has been extremely helpful and amazing in the process.

Wow! What a day. We had so much fun at Good Omen Market VI. We ate lots of Hella Vegan, we listened to lots of Late Feelings, we met Heavy Letters (our really cool table buddies), we played with a dog named Bucket, and we talked to lots of new friends about new projects and plans.
Thank you so much to Classic Cars and the great people of Good Omen for having us and putting together SUCH an incredible group of makers of ALL kinds. If you didn’t make it do NOT miss the next one!!
Oh! Thank you also to Undertone Collective, Floss Editions, Rad Breath, Luz Y Luna, Baby Girl Botanicals, and all the other vendors we got amazing things from!
So, as many of you may know the state of the world has been…. quite horrific. The (increasingly) nightmarish direction the country has been going is upsetting. But we will fight, we will vote, and we will not give up. This is not OK.
Now, for the day-to-day woes, we have stickers for that! Coco Spencer-designed stickers and posters are now in the webstore. Check ‘em out!
