King Kong's final showdown with the biplanes atop the Empire State Building -- Russ Nicholson's take on the iconic 1933 movie scene, from the cover of Comics Unlimited #41, November 1976 (despite the "40" seen in the lower right). Before his prolific work for Games Workshop and TSR's Fiend Folio, Russ Nicholson contributed a number of covers plus interior art to this UK comics zine published by the UK's first full-time comics dealer, Alan Austin.

Surprise! Since so many people are interested in this idea, I wanted to check out what everyone wants to see!! You can fill in the form HERE.
I'm interested in doing both a shorter independent one and a longer, community driven charity one, if the interest is there for it!

maybe don't start a simblr three days before you leave the country for a month!
the perfectionist and cas enthusiast in me is grieving because reshade/gshade and blender don't work on mac. was on like page eighteen of google trying to find a mac and sims friendly shader 😭
my sim style changed a lot and i'm really excited about that! here are some shitty screenshots of my updated simself. get to know me below the cut🤍
🍈💿🧅austin🦕🥥🧶
i have an unfinished balaclava i need to find time to finish knitting
currently reading "women, race, and class" by angela davis, but i just bought "crying in h-mart"
i love tea, my favorite is this lemon ginger tea my mom got from who knows where
tinted moisturizer > foundation
computer science major💻, but i plan on restarting my college experience because I want to major in media studies
i'm a twenty year old may taurus🐂
at my old serving job we ate for free and I miss the food everyday
current musical genre fixation is old school jazz (ray charles, nina simone, chicago gangsters) and indie/alternative women (faye webster, florence + the machine)
i love food, cooking, watching others cook and i'll try anything once
trying to build a new skincare routine after accidentally shattering most of my skincare
my current show is physical on apple tv, but i'm rewatching yellowjackets with my cousin.
i am a leech and pay for none of my streaming services
despite my simself having hairy arms I actually have next to no hair on my arms. a senior year bio lab actually showed that I have damn near no hair follicles on my arm
i really want to pick up ceramics and zine making as a hobby
i'm insanely good at stretching money
the first time I tried creme brûlée my aunt took us to this expansive traditional french restaurant in paris and I was extremely underwhelmed, but now its come to be my beloved dessert
I love everything fashion, pls don't bother me on met gala day unless it's about the met gala
aquaphor, that's it
i love 🍃, i prefer hybrids, and i love to roll, it's like a form of arts and crafts

We Are Magic: Sigils for Trans Power, 2017
a collection of trans affirmations (text provided by friends & strangers online) made into sigils. this zine is always free & can be downloaded, printed & freely shared here. the pins are occasionally available through my Etsy shop.
this little zine has traveled much farther & gotten more love than i could have ever anticipated in the 5 years it's been circulating. i have a folder on my computer of photos that folks have sent me after they got one or more of these images tattooed (i've given standing permission for anyone to use them that way) - one person even has the whole set all down their spine.
some thoughts on sigils below the cut
i've been making sigils for years - for me that means images that amplify intent, whose encryption of text into abstract symbols almost paradoxically allows you to hold the words closer to you. the process i use is partially derived from the work of Austin Osman Spare, a 19th-20th century artist & occultist who was himself obviously influenced by earlier western esoteric traditions that violently appropriated (mainly) Jewish written magic (you can read my whole zine on this history here), so as a Jewish artist i try to be intentional about acknowledging that lineage - you can find a bunch of tutorials on "how to make sigils" that will give you the Spare method without any context or connection to anything that came before it - & also being clear that i approach them from my own conceptual frameworks. i believe images only have the power we give them, that the power in these sigils is community care & self-affirmation, that they don't need to be "supernatural" to be "magic" (in the way that art & connections between people are magic).
i've also done a number of personal sigil commissions by donation to causes that are important to me - in 2020 i used sigil-making to raise over 1K for bail funds to free protesters & support mutual aid for communities impacted by police violence. that's the kind of magic they are to me - they help us do what we need to do.
of course everyone can engage with them on their own terms, but that's where i'm coming from as the creator!

< 好日の素 …古書を手にすること >
先月下旬に
富山駅で開催されたBOOK DAYの
影響もあり、
あいかわらずスローな読み手ながらも
読書が進んでいるこのごろのわたしなのです。
BOOK DAYは
10周年ということもあって
古書はもちろん新刊、リトルプレス、ZINEなどの
さまざまな印刷物に
レコードやCD、関連するグッズなど
盛りだくさん。
じっくり見て回るには
2日あっても足りないのでは、と
思うほど。
県外からの出店者も多く、とても充実していました。
古書ですから、内容としては
最新の情報が記されているわけではないのですが、
出版された当初は
それが最新だった、という
ある意味記録でもありますし、
店頭や図書館などの棚から
いつの間にかいなくなってしまった作品に
思いがけず再会できたりもして、
やっぱりたのしいものだなぁ、と思いました。
ページをめくると
気になったフレーズに
線が引かれていたり、
書き込みがされていたり。
(たまに落書きも…笑)
そういった、以前の持ち主の空気を
まとっていることもときおりあって、
それもおもしろい。
学生時代に持っていた雑誌に
再びときめいて買ってしまう!なんてこともあります。
富山駅でのBOOK DAY は今後もありますし
7月にはRECORD DAYも開催されるということで
そちらも今からとてもたのしみです。

< 日々是食べたい! … のど飴 >
こうして話したり
ごくまれにうたったりする身としては
欠かせないもののひとつ、のど飴。
さまざまなタイプのものが
店頭に並んでいるので、
きっとそれぞれに
好みがあるだろうと思います。
わたしも、これまで
いろんなのど飴のお世話になってきました。
子どもの頃は
花梨やミントなど
ハーブ系のものが主流で
たいていは
メントールのスーッとするタイプのものでしたが、
この頃は
メントールの��じがないものや
はちみつが中心のもの、また
ハーバルチュウなるソフトタイプの
のど飴まで、ほんとうに多彩。
大根や生姜といった、
昔ながらの素材のものや
薬剤師さんのオススメ!というものもありますね。
わたしの最近のお気に入りは
フルーツの味ののど飴。
スーッとする成分は入っていないようですが、
口に一粒入れていると
いつの間にか
のどがうるおって、落ち着いている感じがします。
色もカラフルで
フレーバーも選べるたのしみがあって、
出かける際の必須アイテムになっています。
ちいさな一粒でも、
ほっとさせてくれたり
元気をくれたりする、
たいせつな存在です。
