From the pages of Hexagon’s very first issue! I remember reading this story and sighing a sigh of relief knowing that our first issue was going to have some great stories. 🧡

Hey comics people, friends & colleagues. As of today, our friend @artyomtopilin.bsky.social is under house arrest in his home town of Tolyatti due to ongoing FSB investigation. We don't have much details yet, but his computer and phone were taken by the police, so communication with him is hindered.

🦋 Cover Reveal!✨ So excited to finally share the cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social 🎨

Cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • - Cover is a rectangle of a symmetrical detailed mirror half drop repeat pattern inspired by arts and crafts era wallpaper. In the middle section is a dragonfly facing down from overhead with paper wasps facing outwards above over top of branching leaves. Below and above is the central repeated motif of a large leaf insect from above framed by lace wing butterflies turned outward and stag beetles facing inward. Surrounding and underneath all of them are stylized leaf branches with round large berries. The entire pattern is in intense ochre yellow and mahogany brown shades with pops of pale yellow for the berries. Over top is a handmade paper texture and fine line ink work in brown and pale yellow for threadbare highlights on the wasp and butterfly wings.

Anthologies are one way small magazine publishers help bridge the gap in their finances, and a great way for you to enjoy the work their authors have been producing if you don't have time to keep up with monthly/quarterly issues. Give this one a buy. Makes a great holiday gift, too!

Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology is now available to all subscribers! 🧡 For as low as $1, you could be enjoying everything Hexagon published in its fifth year, marvelling at fantastic cover art, and gasping for air as you drown in never before seen concept art.

Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology cover features a human with long hair rising from a mangrove river with an enormous red snake watching ominously behind them. The human’s bottom half is sort of pixelated into small hexagon shapes as it emerges from the water.

Includes stories by Calvert, Cato, Del Valle Berríos, Dorgan, Gayet, Geleynse, Guay, Haab, Heike, Hirsch, Joines, Jones, Muscato, Novak, Nwaka, O’ Mahoney, Scheina, Stamp, Vona, and Wallace. Edited by JW Stebner.

Teaser crop of the cover I created for Year’s Best Arthropod Anthology Volume 3

The entire cover is fine line black ink work coloured in shades of ochre yellow, cream and warm brown. In the middle is a lacewing butterfly laying on a branching brown plant with stylized leaves. Below is the start of a rhino beetle, to the left is the bottom of the body of a leaf bug, to the right is the body of a paper wasp. In the bottom right of the crop is more of the plant branching behind with white clustered berries. The whole thing has a paper texture on top.

Cover art by Mónica Robles Corzo for Reckoning: It Was Paradise, a special issue on war, conflict, and environmental justice, featuring a monstrous antlered head with burning red eyes and a warhead emerging from its fanged mouth.

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Jar of Moles (Grant Zoology Museum, London)
crittery dozened things each pink snout snootling
formaldehyde up it's bamboozler which poor fuck
had to collect them out in the dirt with a shovel
here moley moley BONK . I’m only gonna
put you in a jar and let tourists go eww at you
for the next two hundred years god look at me
for two hundred years I’d do anything look
mummy, one of them’s licking the glass—
honey it's dead velvety sweet sardined hope
their ghosts are friends teeming in a molish
afterlife dark and circular everything worm-
flavoured tasty buggy snackerels what if
you smashed the mole jar? vinegared
moles spilling out flaccid & swimming
everyone screaming someone saying Freddy
you gotta get us a new jar of moles—
—goddammit boss I never asked for any of this

A jar of wet preserved moles, the jar is very full and all the little hands, feet and snoots mark it as both upsetting and fascinating

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.
