Endless, tremendous thanks to everyone who came out to the screening of The Matrix last night on a Lilly Wachowski’s personal 35mm print that she very graciously let us project Meant the world to program and introduce this film vital to my transness to a crowd of passionate queer folks 💚

I started as a sound engineer when I was 15, and I've managed to make it to 66 with only 10 decibels of loss. For the last 20 years, I've had a pair of Etymotics ER-20 ear plugs in a little case on my keychain.

DRAGONFLIGHT (1978)
 Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30" 

For the 1st book in Anne McCaffrey's legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial POV and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. #art #booksky 🪐📚
A flight of dragons swoops past a rocky mountain peak down that mostly obscures the sun. The light tints green sky yellow along the ridge. With wings spread wide, the lead dragon pulls up from a dive with beak open to expose teeth and tongue. The arc of its climb intersects a red striated planet. The female dragonrider raises one arm up as she glances back over her shoulder.

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

I made a new Public Collectors postcard! The text is extracted from something I posted here about 6 months ago. The design came to me in a dream (or night of bad sleep). Mail them to friends who need a creative nudge to self-publish. They are 4 for $3.00 from halfletterpress.com/leave-a-reco...
A stack of postcards with white text on a purple background that reads:

MAKE A ZINE IF YOU CAN'T
MAKE A BOOK.
MAKE A FLYER IF YOU CAN'T
MAKE A ZINE.
MAKE A POSTCARD IF YOU CAN'T MAKE A FLYER.

LEAVE A RECORD.

The back of the postcard says:

SELF-PUBLISH TO TELL FUTURE PEOPLE ABOUT THE PRESENT.

What do you mail to your friend who needs a reminder that their voice is worth publishing, no matter how small the format? This postcard! Hand them out to students too. The text is from a post Marc made on his Bluesky account (@marc-fischer.bsky.app) where he regularly writes little notes about self-publishing. Four of these cards come in a $3.00 set.

Did you know that the Internet Archive has old colouring books on it? Did you know that they're PDFs? Did you know that you could take those PDFs and make tiny zines with pictures from said colouring books? Am I taking this information and applying it in a way that you all expect of me? YES
A tiny 8-page zine made out of a sheet of A4 folded into eighths. On the cover, it says "Dune Coloring Book: Abridged", with all the details of the original Dune (1984) colouring book. The illustration to colour is of Paul fighting Feyd.
