NEW ZINES!

Like "Alexander Bell's Texts Book" made from a selection of our received text messages. And "Steven vs. SMS" which comes straight from Steven's outbox.  Wouldn't Mr. Bell be proud?

Third but not least is Lou Anne's Lettitors to the Editors, "Winning the Fight Against a Losing Industry: one woman's brave battle against the injustices and inaccuracies of the printed news". She's a woman from Lansing, MI with a pen someone should probably take away and a husband named Winslow Pogue who has XXX illustration urges he simply cannot contain. This one is not for the faint of heart. Seriously. Winslow Pogue is a perv. Don't let it overshadow Lou Anne's wisdom.

Steven's newest paintings as of.... some time more recent than the last time you came to our website.



Before San Francisco, there was Mali, West Africa. Here's bunch of Steven's work from there, most of which are portraits of folks he met in Timbuktu. From August to Decemeber 08 these pieces were at the Zenith Gallery in Washington DC as part of their winter show: "Zenith for Real". So, besides inauguration, ANOTHER reason to visit our nation's capitol.



 
Casey's latest creation: handmade stationary sets. The envelopes are made from magazines like Rolling Stone, the New Yorker, and Star. The cards she hand stamps. Go green or go home.






These are the bags we've been hand stenciling and embroidering. We're always in the process of making and passing along new ones, AND we take bag requests-- so if you're really aching for a donkey side bag in your life, lets us know! Group orders are very welcome. $12 each, two for $10.



We drink sake, we make books. Simple as that. Check out the whole shebang here. (http://sites.google.com/site/sakebooks/)



Casey writes, Steven draws/paints. The happy usual.






Steven is slowly turning into a jellyfish and wants to ensure that he will have lots of friends, so he's painted a whole crew of them to roll deep with.


Our book. It is coming along. Expect it all bound and pretty fall 2010 published with the fine folks at Roaring Brook Press. In the mean time, satisfy your intense urge for graphic noveling about Asia and West Africa by checking out these first draft sketches.
