a diminutive apothecarian
A new little piece for the New York Times Op Ed about disparity in taxes, which just went up yesterday evening. I enjoy suit-guy's ape-like arms. Thanks to AD Alexandra Zsigmond. You can read the article online here.
here’s a little glimpse of the new zine I’m working on ✏️ #wip

What kind of paper do you use in gouache?
I enjoy certain brands of cold-press watercolor (Canson's good) and print-making papers. Arches and Stonehenge are lovely for it. It depends a little how you work of course (more water, more weight to the paper) but I work fairly graphic, with less water, so I go with something around 100lb. You need a balance of appropriate weight and tooth. If your paper or board is too smooth, like hot-press watercolor or bristol, your gouache won't have anything to grip.
I got to design another t-shirt for Pizza Party Printing, this time for one of my favorite moves ever: the excellent, ass-kicking valley girls vs. zombies, plus some space shit, PLUS Mary Woronov, Night of the Comet. Daddy mighta gotten you an Uzi, but you can get yourself this shirt on preorder here!
