Mercury, Covid, Have Mercy!

Collaborative group projects are especially difficult when everyone lives different places (Oakland, LA, Nevada City, Davis, NY to name a few), but we pulled through for our FOURTH annual Mercury, Have Mercy! calendar.

In lieu of our monthly horoscopes we decided instead to take it easy on you with a more gentle approach. Every month we wrote a thoughtful and timely suggestion to improve your life just a little in this hellscape.

Pre-orders are shipped and new orders will be going out ASAP!

A big ol’ shout out to Sarah Francis (cover design), George Salazar and Sam Levin (self love assistance), and last but not least our very own Lizz Carlton and her mom Laurie for hand drawing everything with such care! Printing and binding by Mollie n Holly, the cover paper is Classic Crest Concrete and inside pages are Astrobright Stardust White, coils are.. glow in the dark! For these bleak times, we pray for an easier 2021. Mercury and pandemic please have mercy on us all 🙏 🌚

Public Affairs in print

“I thought this was about technology, about platforms, about voyeurism and the internet. And it is – but I also realised then that this is a memory project, about living through a historic time that feels essential to document and somehow honour, however weighty and costly that sometimes feels.”

Public Affairs is the first book from New York based, London born photographer and designer Emily Nabnian. The photograph collection captures everything she may or may not have posted to Instagram but lived instead – an exploration of a wild year, a hiatus from IG, and the ephemeral experience of the feed.

152 pages, 5.5x8.5”, perfect bound.

This is their first zine, Free Space about isolation, safe space and being confined to your bedroom during a politic movement. Find them, as well as their zine on their website. We love working with local youth, who inspire us every day.
