Visited the town of Batu Arang in Rawang, Selangor, where residents are fighting the development of a mega waste incinerator. The town sits on dense coal deposits and shale rock. Beautiful lakes are actually open-cast mining ponds left behind by British colonizers

When I said I was gonna print the 50 animal linocuts from our book #CreaturesofNearKingdoms, Zedeck said he would match my freak and write a new game set in a new world, *spurred* (hehe) by each animal I was printing. He has 9 chapters to my 2 creatures. I gotta hustle 😤 #printmaking

Police arrested Magic And Magic went with them For Magic loves the hungry But Magic would not tarry It moves from arm to arm It would not stay with them Magic is afoot It cannot come to harm It rests in an empty palm It spawns in an empty mind But Magic is no instrument Magic is the end

Short studio notes from Sharon: "Obsessed over the chatter (parts of the print which are 'noise' or accidental marks), but decided that is what proves they are handmade." ❤️❤️❤️
