A close-up of a person wearing teal gloves holding a small metal type punch engraved with an ampersand symbol. In the background, part of the person’s face is softly out of focus.

A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.

Designers, historians and the wider public now have the opportunity to study the physical tools that shaped modern typography.

A mini zine with rounded corners, on it is the text β€œnot ducks” and an illustration of a common loon, which looks a little like a black and white spotty duck but with a pointier beak.

A mini zine with rounded corners, on it is the text β€œnot ducks” and an illustration of a common loon, which looks a little like a black and white spotty duck but with a pointier beak.

A page of the zine with a greyscale illustration of a yellow billed loon hunting minnows. Again the loon is a bit duck-like, but I promise you it’s not a duck!

On the page is the text:
some think loons are named after their clumsiness on land, but they are incredibly agile underwater, chasing down and catching fish

The back cover of the zine, which has a very large head of a common loon and the text:
common loons are the state bird of Minnesota, currently occupied by ICE as such, they’ve become somewhat of an unofficial symbol of the resistance. To that, I say FUCK ICE and all occupying forces. Donate to keep MN housed @ standwithminnesota.com

This time about one of my favourite groups of not ducks. And an u likely symbol of resistance against oppression.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Various art supplies and stationery items in hues of green and reds frame two art prints on a desk top. One features an illustration of tomato vines of different colored tomatoes, gradually progressing from yellowish green to orange to red. The vines are surrounded by tiny winged and tomato headed creatures, wearing a blue cone hat, each carrying a can of paint and a brush, intent on coloring the tomatoes. They are dressed in the same summery outfit: a red vest, blue shorts and elegant looking brown shoes.
The other illustration is in the same style and concept, but revolves around pomegranates, with the tiny characters having upturned pomegranate heads and being dressed for fall, with a brown sweater, jeans and boots

Last days of the month are here and I’ve barely scratched the surface of my order goal but I still want to show my art, who knows who will see it :) I’m choosing to believe today is my lucky day!

Animals are pretty cool! So much so that there are far too many cool animals for me to include in this zine.

Nonetheless, here are a few of my favourites (in no particular order)!

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

A simple house shape is filled to the brim with flowers and plants. Inside a girl with dark pigtails and a brown hound dog are playing around among them. The puppy lies on the stem of a bellflower so his best friend can wear hold it above her head like a cool hat. The text above in a blue purple ink reads "Keep Minnesota Housed!" Below the house in gold ink reads "adopt a rent or donate". Below that "KeepMNhoused.com".
