I think it was cooling itself off, but the angle on that first photo makes it look super mad.

I hath come to humbly ask thee for Texas hc’s 👁️👁️

*do not feel forced or rushed to answer this!!*

It's not been almost a whole day, I don't know what your on about. Seriously though sorry this is late, I wanted to get it done yesterday but sadly I do have a friend who also likes hockey so, anyway ENJOY!!!

Texas-

He can sing and play the guitar really well

Big ol’ stargazer, was very sad when he realized that the StateHouse wasn’t in the best location to stargaze

He doesn’t agree with a lot of what happens in his state, not that he has much of a choice but if asked in private he makes his opinion pretty known

Will occasionally drink a glass of oil, yea know, for the funnies, the other states are absolutely disgusted, even the ones with oil drilling

He’s never actually done drugs, like it was very tempting at one point but he never actually tried it and doesn’t plan too

Owns a dirt bike and bought a few other southern states one as well to do races

He’s smart, but specifically the stupid kind of smart, the kind of smart that got a super collider built but dumb enough to not be able to convince the government to keep throwing money into the project (this is real, this did happen and I love it so much it’s so interesting)

Manipulative bastard (affectionate??)

He doesn’t always dress like he’s a cowboy from the deep south, he actually has a lot of what the NE states call “normal people clothes”, he just prefers to dress like what he is, a gay cowboy

Whore (affectionate)

Was the one who started the southern Minecraft server, mainly so he could bomb Oklahomo legally

The Janimal RETURNS

A little over 9 years ago, we stumbled across a group of indie comics artists who would meet up and draw and hang out and just share stories with each other. We were a brand new store and didn’t really know any “industry” people. In walks the Janimal with his book Time Shark (about a time-traveling shark)! A kid-friendly comic artist who is quite possibly the nicest human to ever walk the earth. We immediately fell in love with both his work and him! Shortly after, life took over and Janimal moved to Arizona and we stayed in touch but we didn’t get a chance to host him again.

Now - almost a decade later - the Janimal returns to the halls of East Side Mags!

Jan Marc “The Janimal” Quisumbing is a Jersey tomato roasting in the Arizona sun. A graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University (NJ), he now resides in Northern Arizona with his family and 3 cats. He has exhibited at comic conventions from Phoenix Fan Fusion to New York Comic Con and serves as the acting president of the Northern Arizona Cartoonist Association (NAZCA). His fun and cartoony style has a great retro feel and translates easily to the drawing demo classes that have been a staple at Verde Valley libraries and LibCons over the past nine years. He currently works at a library in Northern Arizona as its Program and Marketing Coordinator.

Artist Spotlight: NJ Roseti

This month we spoke, or touched wavelengths with, Oakland based artist NJ Roseti, whose furniture designs we've been having a lot of fun looking at and thinking about and using in our own work. So look at them! and then come back to this interview, where we try to find the axiom behind their Euclidean logics.

Studio AHEAD: The first things that come to mind when looking at your most recent pieces are: an original Gameboy with the blue Pokemon cartridge in the back, Ettore Sottsass, Platonic essences, Minecraft, Art Deco, the word "wobble". How close/far away are we?

NJ Roseti: These references are great and not all of these associations are new to my ears. I think the one that rings most true out of what you said for my work is the Platonic essence. Many of my pieces represent the moment in time of emergence or distortion and so by Plato's definition are less real than the Forms which are eternal, unchanging and complete.

SA: Give us a line or two about lines. Often yours are straight. But then—for instance in the Just Like Always table lamp—these lines veer off in unexpected directions. Where do they take you? Where should they take us?

NR: Lines, whether continuous or broken, symbolize to me the continuum of time, where the unbroken line represents the seamless flow of the past, while the broken line signifies the ongoing journey into the future.

SA: What lines have you crossed or followed to get here?

NR: Currently, it's challenging to articulate a distinctive perspective as an artist amidst the myriad of voices from the past and present. It has taken some time for me to clarify my thoughts and find a meaningful expression, having to sacrifice certain things like living at the same standards that other people live, being close to family and focusing on my personal life. Although I haven't reached my destination, I sense the beginnings of crafting a world where I can dwell happily.

SA: In these interviews, we always ask about materiality. Your designs have an almost ironic relation to their materials, as in the Love Before Now trays, with their exaggerated wood marks, or your love of primary colors. Perhaps you have a word or two to say about this; perhaps you will say it is not ironic at all.

NR: The selection of my materials is closely tied to irony. Marquetry, a deeply historical and traditional technique known for its ornate motifs, becomes a means for me to comment on the classical role of wood, highlighting the ironic contrast of its historical significance amid the digital age's prevailing trends.

SA: About the digital: you design with a computer and by hand. Is there a tension in this? I am thinking in contrasts: robotic precision/human imperfection, cold machine/warm body, preprogrammed/spontaneity.

NR: I see no tension actually; in fact, I find the particular connection between artist and computers to be exceptionally beautiful when it’s used as a mere tool. It enhances spontaneity, facilitates iteration, and expands our creative possibilities. It’s the crafting process that is the part that is paid with time, so together it’s overall quite balanced. In this era where computers effortlessly emulate imperfect and organic forms, my exploration with rigid lines and rectilinear shapes aims to prompt viewers to appreciate the inherent perfection achievable on a computer through the precision of geometric forms. I also want to clarify that I’m talking strictly about computers and not AI. I don’t in any way endorse the use of AI in creative fields.

SA: When You Forget. To You. I Just Remembered. I Should Be Now. What’s the deal with the titles?

NR: My works are all deeply personal and I convey my meaning through a process akin to crafting a poem. To label a poem as “Rhythmic words arranged on a page” would do the poem injustice and the overarching meaning would be lost.

SA: Tell us one remarkable thing you’ve sat on.

NR: Sitting in the Noodle Throne by Caleb Ferris feels like you are sitting on an icon that will be remembered in the books.
