The Golden Age Of Souvenirs, by John Orth


From the interior of this amazingly beautiful new Pegacorn release:

"The Golden Age Of Souvenirs," is a companion publication to the installation of the same name, exhibited by John Orth 
at Wayfarers (Brooklyn, NY) in the summer of 2014. The exhibition is the culmination of a residency in which Orth explored the idea that the objects that we collect reflect and sometimes inform our emotional lives. Four clay figurines depicting the servant class of British Colonial India and a peacock comprised of pipe cleaners, were the inspiration for this body of work. These objects occupied a shelf besides Orth's bed over the past several years. "The Golden Age Of Souvenirs," expands the narratives of these characters, all the while wringing from them the emotions they have absorbed as unwitting observers of his life.

This book is pure art- beautiful, thought provoking and poetic. It was such a joy to see John make all this work over the summer and then to finally pull together the drawings and inspirations into this publication. A definite must have for any serious art collecting, Risograph/silk-screen fan.
20 pages + cover, 8.5" X 7", saddle stitched with rounded corners.
Risograph printed using blue and burgundy ink on grey, tan and natural colored paper. Grey cover with three color (orange, white and gold), screen-printed by John, inner cover printed with brown Riso ink.
Edition of 200.

This is the second book (of three) in a poetically wild, comic based series by Lale Westvind. I'm loving the way that Lale is working these books through three distinct levels of consciousness- higher, middle and lower zones of murky, half panic, half cathartic situations. Total comic voyeurism at it's best! All graphite drawings, printed in Riso wonderfulness!

Late Era Clash #26 
by Mike Taylor
20 year anniversary issue! 

This issue encompasses a single story- which is kind of three stories- all of which interweave back and forth into a dark and seedy tale of....well.... you're just gonna have to see for yourself. If you're already a fan of Mike and his art then you will definitely not be disappointed in the least, as this is one of his finest yet!

Down By The Bay
by Aimee Lusty

I originally became infatuated with Aimee Lusty's work through her incredible acrylic painting series of abstract boobs and plants. An amazing painter, I had no idea that she was so skilled with graphite as well!
For this release, Aimee scoured eBay, looking for all sorts of things that probably should be included in museum collections, but have somehow ended up being up for sale on this mega internet wormhole. These beautifully rendered graphite drawings inspired by artifacts, occult objects, art, and antiques are a definite addition to any personal zine collection.

GARDEN OF THE WOMANIMAL
by Caroline Paquita

Released at the opening of my solo show at Booklyn Artists Alliance, here in Brooklyn, NY. The gallery aspect of this show is a small survey of about thirteen years of drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures and zines. This exhibition publication is some of the pieces featured, process photos and some new drawings that I'm super excited about!

Here's the run down of what the solo show was all about:
GARDEN OF THE WOMANIMAL explores a recurring theme throughout the recent years of Caroline’s work, depicted in a wide variety of media, a cult of “womanimals” half-women/half-wild animals are illustrated in landscapes of playful sexual scenarios, mystical adventures, and explorations of nature and the body. The womanimals’ corrupt playfulness and exuberance are contrasted by the meticulously clean line work of Paquita’s drawings and paintings. Newer works are surrounded by thirteen years of imagery demonstrating the evolution towards this theme and its stylized representation.

Lale's description of Now and Here:

An epic poem of imagined quantum physics.
An original creation myth of the passing second.
This is a war for the Moment, commune on multiple planes with the Watchers, She who walks into the Sun, Debra the Destroyer, Barbara bare with beer and the temple ceiling ghosts.This book contains pictographs detailing the movements of the Battle Against Selves! Curious? It's very good.

  WOMANIMALISTIC #3: Phoenix burning, Phoenix rising
by Caroline Paquita


A bit more of a metaphysical adventure than previous issues, W#3 is a collection of images made in the past several years as I've struggled with much personal loss. Drawing as therapy? Perhaps!
From the last page in the publication, which might sum up everything best:

Drawings from sketchbooks kept from 2011-2013, as well as material from two performances, "Punk Medical Myths," and "D.I.Y. Vajazzling with Sparkle Puss, the vajazzling cat." Inspired by traveling in 10 countries, retiring from a longterm project, losing my incredibly amazing Pops (R.I.P.), the ensuing sadness/madness, mysticism, crystal woo-woo and all around meditation...

Review from Quimby's in Chicago:
Paquita puts the Womanimal instincts into action - lucid ideas of vaginal decor and folk medicine....with friends like these, who needs remedies?
Riso printed with burgundy, pink/red and blue ink, saddle stiched, rounded corners, 24 pages of content. 
Drawn, printed and produced by Caroline Paquita/Pegacorn Press. 1st edition of 300 in June 2013.www.carolinepaquita.com

Shelter Raiders
by Anna Haifisch

When I first met Anna in Leipzig, Germany, she gave me a collection of Risograph printed comics that she had put out. I spent the next day in the van, reading through them, laughing out loud and wanting more. Cats drinking Four Loko? Come on! Who doesn't want to read comics that have wasted cats, who hang around, puking everywhere and having fun? Barf?! Awesome!


So, when I began Pegacorn Press that fall, Anna was easily and most definitely on the list of people that I wanted to publish and her work was included Future Tense (Pegacorn's first official release). People were totally stoked with her comic and I heard many compliments about her piece specifically. She's a prolific artist and has been cranking it out since, so much so that I can't even start to list it here, so please visit her site: http://www.hai-life.comThis is a great little mini to get your hands on if you're unfamiliar with her work and want to check out something new! 
**********************

(From the back of the mini) 
This book is part of the Buddies series starring Mr. Cat Buddy, Mr. Dog Buddy and several Peanut People who always suck.About this book: Cat Buddy spots his Dad on the TV show SHELTER RAIDERS and finally meet his Pa. They regurgitate Cat Buddy's sad past and the reader finally gets to know Cat Buddy's real name.**********************Review from Edie Fake, for Quimby's in Chicago: Anna Haifisch is awesome and pretty much makes the best comics. This latest installment to The Buddies series is downright tragic as Cat Buddy tries to connect with Dad in the Shelter. Dirty and bombed, slop to the stop.
Drawn in Leipzig, Germany. 
Printed in Brooklyn, NY. 1st edition of 300 in May 2013. 9 pages of content, quarter sized (4.25"X5.5"), brown ink on yellow paper, saddle stitched. Edition of 300.www.the-buddies.comhttp://www.hai-life.com/

Late Era Clash #25
by Mike Taylor

Do you appreciate art? Have you ever had a job in the arts? Have you ever been witness to how gross the whole art market/art world can be? If so, Mike Taylor's satirical new issue of Late Era Clash will resonate with those who are familiar with this phenomena, as well as enlighten those who have luckily somehow escaped all this wildness. It's a hard one to describe more thoroughly (and I don't want to spoil any of it), so you'll just have to get it to see for yourself!

A bold new work by a longtime favorite artist, Mike also spent the long hours helping out during the printing and production of this new issue with Pegacorn Press. Undoubtedly, #25 will go as quickly as the last issue, so get it while you can.... it's seriously one of his best publications yet!

As always, Pegacorn Press loves the Quimby's (Chicago's finest bookstore EVA) descriptions of each publication released. Here's another good one from Edie Fake:
Supermarket sabotage and Taylor's brutal takedown of the cabalistic machinations of the art industrial complex. This issue of Late Era Clash outdoes itself - employing its lovely ratty line to maximum beauty, hilarity and fright - absolutely excellent!          

Risograph printed with black, blue and fluorescent pink ink, saddle stitched.

In 2005 and again in 2008, Erick Lyle and I collaborated and released two issues of Zine Libs. Long out of print, Zine Libs are the result of cross pollinating Mad Libs with stories coming from DIY punk rockers, creating hilarious tales that for some folks, might stir up feelings of deja vu. While technically fictional, the stories are informed by a cornucopia of experiences we had both had (or had heard of), through our "unconventional lifestyles."

A definite must have if you've ever spent time in a collective home, lived with 15 people + 8 pets, have dealt with 6 long term "house-guests," been involved in protests, eaten food out of the trash, squatted, blacked-out, hopped trains, hitch-hiked- or at least have been around these types of activities. This new release is both of the issues together as one, which means that it's forty pages of hilarity! (Grammar guide included in the back for reference.)

We have (barely) survived 2012... 


It's time for 2013 and to get organized, with a new Paquita Calendar! Hot off Pegacorn Press, this 2013 calendar features twelve drawings of womanimals, tasking and lounging about. An homage to the spirit of badass women present, past and other-worldy!
Printed using a stencil duplicator (Risograph), the calendar has "raisin" colored ink on heavier light gray colored paper. They're legal sized (8.5" x 14") folded in half, stapled, rounded corners and complete with a small hanging hole. On the last two pages, there's a 2014 calendar grid for reference, as well as what I call the "Woo-Woo" chart that lets you know your astrological sign, which crystals are most compatible with your birth month and a recommended herb to learn each month.

"Unicorn erotica" at it's best, this is an illustrated exploration into the sex lives of some extremely horny mythical beasts. Male on male unicorn fun, this publication is "X-rated" and only for adults, particularly queer and sex friendly ones.

Brontez is back with this new split zine- with himself! Fresh off tour with Sister Spit, he blew minds across the nation with his awesome styles, calling it as he sees it, making you laugh, cry, and everything in between.

“Fag School is in session and I suggest you try to handle the full course load. This zine is fucking brilliant and amazing - always has been, and I think it might always will be.”

Burn Collector #16 (April 2012) is sub-titled “Music and Mania,” and examines the intersection between creativity and losing your marbles. Street musicians, arena rock, classical vs. computers, Little Richard vs. Elvis, and a wide variety of other topics are discussed as Burian contends that “the modern musician is essentially a maniac, living on a delusional dream, whose basic project– putting forth a unique voice into the general din and calamity of the oversaturated information age– has so little chance of success as to make it an act of ultimate, incredible optimism.” The zine contains comics, essays, reviews, and interviews with musician Tim Remis and radical mental health activist Sascha DuBrul.

Al Burian is the author of the long-running personal zine Burn Collector. His work has garnered praise from such legitimate institutions as the Utne Reader and McSweeneys Best Nonrequired Reading. Beginning in the mid-nineties, Burian has distributed his work through the tight-knit network of the DIY punk music/art scene. He has published 16 issues of the zine, two anthologies, and a book of comics. He has been doing reading/speaking performances since the year 2000.

A limited edition, work in progress by Caroline Paquita, made originally while doing an artist's residency at the Roberts Street Social Centre (Halifax, Nova Scotia) in October 2011. The first edition of 32 was made using their "people's photocopier" and had a two color screen printed cover. This third edition printing of 300 was printed on a Risograph- the inner guts are printed with blue ink, the inner cover burgundy, while the cover sports both florescent pink and blue.

The zine itself is all about ladies, "coochie," and random thoughts on oppressive male culture. Some of it is straight from the artist's sketchbook, while some of it is more intentionally drawn. If you like the ladies and can appreciate drawings of lady parts, then this zine is for you!

Mike Taylor and I go waaayyyyy back- so long now that he's gone on tour with two of my bands (as the most ultimate road dawg) and we've lived in three cities at the same time- Gainesville, Providence, and now Brooklyn. We've always been friends that talk art, make art and support each others art, so when I officially began Pegacorn Press, I told him that there was an open offer to put out anything that he wanted to make. Low and behold, Late Era Clash #24 is what he passed on to me.Can I say how awesome this is? I'm not going to spoil it for you, no way- but let's just say that it's a full of the usual Mike humor, sarcasm and brutal "ridiculousity" realism that will leave you in tears (of laughter), or sometimes confused- but in the best possible way.
