Culture Magazine: Dual Culture

A while back my friend Jun Sugai from Staple Design asked if I wanted to be involved in a newsprint large format zine project. The premise initially was that everything was by hand. I did a few large ink drawings. As a drawing exercise in theme with the project I drew the pages in ink freehand with minimal pencil drafting. The drawings I submitted are part of my ongoing "Invisible Empires" series which I started in 2001. All of my drawings are rather imperfect and honest as I did not use any straight edges or fix my "mistakes" to refine things. I have yet to see them in person but you can see some sample spreads as well as purchase a copy at Jun's Blog.

32 pages, Black Ink on Newsprint for $5 dollars. Supplies Limited.

The Garage where we worked on the canvases the first night were also housing an enormous comic collection. This collection was for sale for 4,000 dollars I was really tempted. Daniel Weise, myself and a few other artists talk about the project
