Detox to Retox theme by Marg

There is that great proverb—that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter. That did not come to me until much later. Once I realized that, I had to be a writer. I had to be that historian. It’s not one man’s job. It’s not one person’s job. But it is something we have to do, so that the story of the hunt will also reflect the agony, the travail—the bravery, even, of the lions.

I’m so excited! I was selected to be part of this year’s After School Club. I’m going to attend the workshop by NODE (Berlin Oslo). I can’t wait, this is gonna be so much fun!!

After School Club is a one-week graphic-design festival that happens once in a year and first started April 2012. Alongside workshops with internationally known designers, the club hosts talks, symposiums and more. ASC is a project by koenigsklasse (on.fb.me/ABW7Nj) and is initiated by Alexander Lis (alexanderlis.com/) & Prof. Eike König (hort.org.uk/).


actually I will be going too - this Sunday - to join in a workshop by the excellent Kate Moross :D I can’t wait!

Korra and the Lake Trout

yes it’s more fan-art involving fish - made to rhyme with Mako and the Fire Bird

also the more I watch the show the more I want to draw Korra enjoying herself peacefully without boys or equalists ;________;

thanks to Ming for all the advice, saving my life and my drawings forevarrr

I made a poster with a glow-in-the-dark secret!

From Bruce Mau’s excellent Incomplete Manifesto (to be clear, it is a page full of great tips for designers and artists) comes a rule I live by:

Don’t clean your desk; you might find something in the morning that you can’t see tonight.

The blue layer is regular silk-screen ink, the invisible layer is glow-in-the-dark! It was difficult to take a good picture of the glow-in-the-dark (this was in my tiny bathroom so it was nice and dark) but this should give you some idea.

I still have around 30 prints, all different (some are in pink & lime!) so if anyone wants one, buy me a beer and we’ll talk!

My new poster design for the Cambridge Writers’ Workshop - some of the workshop’s writers are doing a panel on the Revival of the Literary Salon at the upcoming AWP conference. 

It is lettered entirely by hand, took me hours!

Anonymous asked: hello! i hope this doesn't sound creepy but a long time ago, i stumbled across your story on fp and checked out your awesome art on deviantart which led me to this tumblr. anyway, i randomly thought of your story when i was eating sushi the other day so i managed to retrace my steps back here and i was wondering if you were ever planning on updating your story? :)

How charming that you thought of me when you ate sushi :) I started that story a long time ago and it’s full of problems. Nonetheless, I do one day want to thoroughly edit and complete it! On that day, I will update it on fp and mention it on dA in case you are there. Thanks very much for finding me and asking!

watch minkyu lee’s “adam and dog” in full :) beautifully done, and with a touching and powerful story. it’s also up for “best animated short” in the oscars!

Watch this! It’s beautifully well done, and thought-provoking as an interpretation of the Judeo-Christian creation myth.
