⚡️⚡️ Excerpt from Natalia Zajaz’s MARION 🔮

Marion follows the day-to-day life of a modern-day witch with dubious long-term employment prospects. Her misanthropy, escoteric interests and need for a stable income bring her into constant conflict with the grinding banality of wage slavery and passive-aggressive (but mostly aggressive) burecraucy.

You can get Marion now at Glom Press dot com or , if you’re in Sydney, you can pick it up this weekend at our event on Saturday or on Sunday! 💜

An excerpt 👀 from Aaron Billing’s BEATITUDES OF THE BEAT 💧☕️

“Aaron Billings is back to lead us out of the darkness with another profound and profane joy. Thank goodness for Mystical Boyscout”
- Ronnie Scott

You can buy a copy of Aaron’s book now, on our webstore, or pick one up this weekend in Sydney at our Sat 22nd or at on Sunday the 23rd

___

This abstract comic book of poetic musings and symbolic gestures by artist Michael Fikaris has been designed in a unique way with three chapters based on three studio locations the author has previously occupied across the city in their time as an artist and illustrator.

In these collected chapters, we pass through the practice of a desk bound narrator, catching glimpses of the blurred boundaries between work and life as a cartoonist, a mural painter, an experiential life drawer and a collective art studio tenant.

In striking colours and trippy transformational sequences, Check Points captures the pleasant absurdity of contemporary art-life passion and city culture, showing a unique, meditative and deep perspective, while expounding the self-imposed philosophical ways of this artist and their ongoing friendship with the city.

_____

100 pages. Perfect Bound. 18cm x 25.4cm.
Printed in 1-4 colour combinations of Mint, Sunflower, Aqua, Blue, Metallic Gold & Black.

Limited edition of 300.

Supported by The City of Melbourne Arts Grants.
