New edition of Playing the Grid is going to the press. All new illustrations, updated text, and new pages to reflect the changing of our daily lives. This will be available at PaxU with @plusoneexp.bsky.social

A zine sitting on a table. The cover is bright orange and says, “playing the grid: a city guide.” There is a black line drawing of a ramshackle parking attendant station illustrated on the cover.

A spread of the zine sitting on the table. The left side depicts three linear illustrations, a lock box, a delivery worker’s bike, and an amazon delivery worker’s soft drag box. The right side attempts to describe in poetic and real terms the nature of gig working in the city and how it implies a larger negative shift in the nature of work.

The back cover of the zine, also bright orange. The text says, “This is a game you play by moving through the city noticing unique public phenomena. The things you observe will start to tell stories that reach into the past and speculate about the future. Playing may provide a way of seeing the systems that influence our daily lives.”

For those who are wondering wtf is going on in my country, Indonesia, right now. Today we are also having a protest at the capital.

Instagram post from @buruhperempuan:
DEAR SEABLINGS AND INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS, INDONESIA IS NOT OK. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO INDONESIA. BIG PROTESTS ARE HAPPENING IN INDONESIA. WE REALLY NEED INTERNATIONAL MEDIA TO WATCH WHAT'S HAPPENING AND REPORT IT TO THE WORLD.

Instagram post from @buruhperempuan:
HERE ARE 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SITUATION HERE:
- AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURED IN FLORES, WHILE FOREST FIRES ARE BURNING IN SUMATRA, PAPUA, AND KALIMANTAN
- THE PEOPLE OF PATI ARE DEMANDING THE PASSAGE OF THE ASSET FORFEITURE BILL
- WORKING CLASS CITIZENS ARE DEMANDING A LABOR LAW THAT PROTECTS AND PRIORITIZES WORKER'S RIGHTS
- THE STATE BUDGET (APBN) IS BEING USED IN WAYS THAT MARGINALIZE CITIZENS' BASIC RIGHTS, PARTICULARLY ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION
- THE INDONESIAN RUPIAH CONTINUES TO WEAKEN, WHILE LARGE SCALE CORRUPTION CONTINUES TO OCCUR.

I’m excited to be getting the latest Tidings bundle, issues 07, 08, 09, back from the printer and folded into shape.

Three unfolded posters lie on a table. The images on the posters all say, Tidings across the top followed by the numbers 07, 08, 09. The first poster on the left depicts a hovering bright yellow speedboat in front of a pink setting sun, the text on the image describes a water taxi. The middle one shows a deep sea fishing boat at dawn with what looks like a huge wasps nest growing on it. The last show a military navy ship, covered in festive graffiti, two airships float above it, and a faint shadow of a stealth ship can just be seen in the background.

Sitting on a table is a bundle of three posters folded up and contained inside gatefold folder. On the cover is a barge, that has been converted into a houseboat and later a cafe, a large hot air balloon hangs above it, with the words “Gram’s” painting on the side, a banner with a coffee cup hangs below.

The three posters sit stacked, folded, and the gatefold sits open holding the posters in it’s arms. You can see a hint of a map on the gatefold’s interior.

Making some landscape and cityscape drawing. Trying to keep the palette & spot color layers very limited.

A cityscape and Sharp silhouette to a sunset. Many surfaces seem to have plants and graffiti and equal number and an entranceway to an apartment tower beckons.

And inlet dotted with fishing boats looks out on a small island. The right side of the image is dominated by a sharp cliff you can see a funicular slowly making its way up to a village on the cliff top large clouds loom in the distance.
