Knuckles Speaks!

Our new friends over at discantbelife (DCBL) press have a fun and smart collection of zines they've been putting out since 2015, now we've teamed up to put out even more great content!
We printed and bound just in time for SF Zine Fest, which was extremely hot but extremely cool.
If you missed it, find discantbelife on instagram, or head to our webstore, it's just $10!
Knuckles Speaks is a series about a super woke ginger cat named Knuckles, who has a thing or two to say about the way of the world, and some self help advice to deal with it! Sixteen full color pages of kitty wit and beauty. We are very excited for this new team. DCBL x ip <3

Perfect Bound Chapbook

In print today: this gorgeous "visual palette cleanser" from Oakland based artist Yetunde Olagbaju! The twenty-six-page, full color, gradient covered chapbook, You Speak Well, is a reflection on the artist's experience growing up Black (and sensitive) in Minnesota. Only thirty copies available in this first edition, so don't sleep. We'll have a handful online in the next few days but Yetunde can be reached directly on Instagram at @ye.tunde.

Blueprints for Carrie Hott

The Museum of Capitalism opens in Oakland this coming Saturday (June 17, 2017) in Jack London Square — a free museum imagining the end of the complex and oppressive economic system and ideology that governs the world most of us know.

Oakland-based artist Carrie Hott is on the roster of over 60 artists showing work in the pop-up. She will be leading a class titled Light That Elongated the Day, which will explore electricity, artificial light, and its relationship to work, sleep, and finance.

iP printed handouts for Carrie's workshop: digital, blue ink on tan vellum paper — they look great in the sunshine.

Oatfeels: The Tender Issue

We're very excited to be printing for our favorite Oakland lit mag, Oatmeal Magazine! Their latest features risographed blue ink / brown stock covers with pretty pink guts — 60 pages worth!

"Oatfeels: The Tender Issue" is the last from this wonderful crew but we look forward to reading and supporting all their continued individual work. Join them and us at their release party on May 20th at E.M. Wolfman.

"Oatmeal is the kind of friend who makes you tea and brings you chocolate and texts you, “you are my heart!” when you’re feeling sad, and Oatmeal is all about building self-confidence in artists and validating your feelings and making space for you to heal and thrive and share your heart and make friends. And it’s about having fun and nourishing the world with some wonderful writers’ words."
