An industrial studio space with roof windows and lots of computers. There‘s a dog stretching in the middle.

Sucks having to move studio again but at least we don‘t do it alone (the mutt will help).

Death Stranding should've been more like Baby Steps.

It's been there for twenty years. People turned it around on its socket, put christmas decorations on it, a lorry drove into -- it had a good run.

Mocmoc is a much disputed public art installation in front of the railway station in Romanshorn. I didn't know, but it has been moved.

A poster of a giant Mocmoc, which is a hated & loved public art installation in Romanshorn TG, is floating in lake costance. There's a ship going by as nothing's wrong. There's a person walking a dog and the dog is barking at it. There's a woman sunbathing, looking at you, perplex.

Poster of the Swiss city of St. Gallen. A set of stairs with wooden steps in the foreground, with fir trees and red roofs in the middle and two towers of the monastery of St. Gallen in the background. A man is currently tumbling down every set of stairs.

A digital stamp that says COOL PIG certified with a pig standing on two legs with sunglasses. There's a seal with pretty much the same thing on it.

A lot of nerd shit! Nakano Broadway, Takahata Exhibition, Ghibli Museum, book shops and stationery stores — all in all not very poster-able. Then we went home.

We were at Shibuya crossing but didn't cross it. I didn't see Hachiko. No fish market, no Fuji, no Buddha. Fuck animal cafés.

A poster showing a gashapan machine on which it says "Things we didn't do in Tokyo". It is filled with popular tourist attractions and my gf and me in a capsule. We didn't cross Shibuya crossing, didn't see Hachiko, didn't go on the Tokyo tower etc.

Even more important for anything small — zines, postcards.

A close up of my risograph poster „Kyoto“. You can see uneven ink coverage and misregistration between the colours.

With risograph posters, for product representative scans and photos I take an imperfect specimen so the only surprise is when their print looks better.

Illustrated poster of a young female tourist doing the peace sign posing for a photo op under the thouand tori gates in Kyoto. There's a line of tourists waiting to do the same. The poster says Kyoto and it's done up in the style of the photo app screen on an iphone.

Risograph poster of the city of Osaka. Water creatures that have escaped the Osaka aquarium "Kaiyukan" are floating through the air in front of the towering neon signs of Dotonbori street. Everyone's looking at their phones though. Also, a whale shark flies in the sky.

I like to make sci fi names because I can come up with something in the bus and everyone has to take me seriously: Bobbert, Karl-Gas, Paprichard.

Same with health care reduction. Every year they ask „how you make a living“, you send them your wage statements and they ask „how you make a living“.

Difficult to find the sweet spot for claiming income on an apt application. You go too big (min wage) and you‘re not eligible or you tell the truth and they don‘t believe you.

i didnt know that but thats about the sentiment. i had the impression you were self propelled though, highly motivated intrinsically

To some it might feel less like a self indulgent project but more like a brief for a client. There‘s an air of it counts and it‘s important rather than a self initiated comic that noone might see. There will be 200pg graphic novels in the future because some people cant hold back.
