In MINOTAUR we've played with interstitial text. Every issue features a DPS with one of our shutterbug-heroine's photos, with a blog excerpt of sensory impressions the photo can't show. Artist Mike Dowling & designer @tinymaster.bsky.social working in tandem. @ignitionpress.bsky.social
Apropos of nothing, this is probably the thing I mutter to myself, out loud, usually at my desk, more than any other.
Hares, voting for foxes, blaming rabbits when they get eaten.
Some much-deserved kudos for @tinymaster.bsky.social. She's been the unsung hero of all my creator owned books. Designers do far, far more than just logos, but -- since that's the puppy in the window -- here are three of her latest and greatest. @dstlry.bsky.social @ignitionpress.bsky.social

April Foolsed my kids this morning by asking if they'd rather go to university, become artists, or study the natural world when they grow up. Lol, suckers.

Ok, hear me out. If we cover this entire territory in solar panels and windfarms we can generate more power than the entire glibal fossil fuel output, and using that we can mount massive mag-lev boosters to the oil ships and fly them over the blockade. QED.

One of the most startling, soul-enrichingly beautiful books in the English language. Little by way of story, it's essentially one man's diary of his daily winter walks. Yet it crumples the heart, dizzies with its phrasing. Nature, in all its serenity and spite, is sublimated; made godlessly holy.
Love this little sequence. Vanesa Del Rey committing iticide. THE VOICE SAID KILL, collected vol drops March 25th. Read the first 30 pages right here: bindings.app/read/FXroaYec
