Hey everyone! A lot of you may have heard about this already, but DOMINO is losing our headquarters, 282 Broadway/Cartoon House (also the place that I and many other people in the arts/comics community live out of). It’s a sad situation—-so much work has been made in this apartment, and many artists/cartoonists/people-involved-in-art have called it their home over the last decade, including Lizz Hickey, Jon Vermilyea, Jesse McManus, Clara Bessijelle, Bald Eagles/Victor Cayro, Christopher Ortiz, Becca Kacanda, Jeff Ladoceur, Dave Nuss, Bill Kartalopoulos, Aidan Koch and myself, Austin English. The apartment has also been a ‘safe-house’ for cartoonists and artists visiting New York—-it would be hard to list all the people who have crashed here for a day or a week or months while working on their art.

The space also serves as the headquarters for 3 small publishers—-DOMINO, Rebus Books and Revival House. For small businesses like ours, the move will be involved and cut into our already razor-thin-margins operations. Make no mistake, we will survive and continue to thrive after this move! BUT—-DOMINO is asking for your help today by asking for one simple thing: if you’ve been considering ordering any of our books——especially the 6 books we publish, DARK TOMATO, SPIDER MONKEY, FACE MAN, DIFFICULT LOVES, SPACE BASKET or TUSEN HJARTAN STARK—-now would be a wonderful time for you to go ahead and buy them! We offer all six books together for $26 (you get TUSEN for free, plus pay no shipping). But, really, any order today helps us out with this move and lightens our load (less books, less to move)!

Thanks you guys! Link to the store below—-check it out and feel free to share this!

I finally get to be angry about someone posting my artwork without any credit given to the artist.  I made this in college.  http://www.nowhereplace.com/index.php?/one-of-those-days/

Working on the new comic that I’m collaborating on with Yumi Sakugawa, who arrives in New York tonight!  We will be doing a live performance/reading at this event on Sunday.  Feel free to come watch me be a nervous wreck through the whole thing.  Yumi and I have plans to celebrate with Bloody Sunday Marys afterwards.

Announcing BROOKLYN BRAIN FRAME

BRAIN FRAME, the performative comix reading series (and Chicago’s most valuable export) is coming to New York. Watch six artists from around the country mount the pulpit to interpret their comics and zines with maximum force. Musical histories, landscape gifs, a UFO puppet, photos of forgotten females, horror crystals, and a vajazzling cat are just are few of the many splendors on imminent display. Laugh, cry, sit back, and relax // expanded comix // expanded minds.

Featuring:
Ben Bertin
Tom Blunt
Matt Carman
Ayun Halliday
Lyra Hill
Andy Gabrysiak
Caroline Paquita
and a joint reading from Yumi Sakugawa and Kelsey Short

With live synthesizer soundscapes by Tyson Torstenson

Brooklyn Brain Frame is organized in association with the 2nd annual Brooklyn Zine Fest. Come by between 11am and 6pm to browse wares and meet the night’s performers, then come back at 7 to watch the fireworks.

My inventory is almost overflowing !!! So today I created a new section to my shop - Spring Cleaning - and it is filled with items that have been been overlooked and now have very reduced prices. 

I have many new items in the works and I need room for them ! I’ve been adding new items and also unearthing older items over the past few days. More to come too ! 

As always I am so so so grateful when people pass these posts along.

<3(I need you, I love you)<3 

By the end of this sale (April 15th) I will be giving away what I think to be a really great prize to one person who has either reblogged this post or any of the future postings I make about items in my Spring Cleaning section. 

One lucky person will receive : whatever they want !!! I will let the winner decide what kind of prize they would like, (a cat amulet? a locket? a caterpillar brooch?) and I will make it especially for them. ♥.♥

What is an Analemma?

An analemma is the figure “8″ loop that results when one observes the position of the sun at the same time during the day over the course of a year. Due to the earth’s tilt about its axis (23.45°) and its elliptical orbit about the sun, the location of the sun is not constant from day to day when observed at the same time on each day over the course of a full year. Furthermore, this loop will be inclined at different angles depending on one’s geographical latitude.
