This Saturday October 24th from 11AM-6PM at the @chicagoathletichotel is @prettygoodfest, and on the 2nd floor between the game room and drawing room you can see my sculptures Meow Meow Press which features my 4 favorite cat friends and a 1:1 scale realistic Risograph in the display case! They are all made out of cardboard and print scraps.

I will be tabling at the fest too with A NEW POETRY ZINE published by yours truly @reeso.press, come say hi and also see the amazing list of special guests such as Chris ware, Tara Booth, Micheal Deforge, which I will be quaking in my boots and try not to cry seeing them lmao.

Thank you @prettygoodfest @perfectlyacceptable and @chicagoathletichotel for letting me make these special sculptures!

See you all on Saturday! :)

Save the date. October 22nd. Michael Deforge and Abe Lampert at Howling Pages!!

We are so excited to host Michael DeForge (@michaeldeforgecomics) for a comics reading and picture show from his latest book, All Cameras In My Room, out now from @drawnandquarterly. Michael will be joined by Abe Lampert (@abe_lampert) whose new book Nemesis Encounter from @perfectlyacceptable is out now.

This is a joint venture with @prettygoodfest to kick off what is bound to be their best comics and small press fair yet (Oct 24 at the Chicago Athletic Assoc).

But the Thursday prior, Oct 22nd, we're on deck. So come see comics on the big screen and hear from a couple authors. We'll have seats for all and books from the authors for sale after the reading that they'll be signing. And as always, drinks on us.

Resist the algorithm.

a two part post so that we can tag all of the wonderful creatives in this story- a (different kind of) RISO history. As told from the perspective of Hallagans, a Chicago based RISO dealer who has been lucky enough to have a front row seat to the rise of risography and a creative movement that continues to grow
