After making the Paquita calendar for five years, it made sense to compile these sixty drawings into one collection. It's a thick little beast of a book, filled with seasonal delights!

Edition of 150, June 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Risograph (various colors)
Soft-cover, Saddle-Stitch
32 pages, 8.5 x 7 inches, rounded corners
Edition of 300

WOMANIMALISTIC #3: Phoenix burning, Phoenix rising
by Caroline Paquita
by Caroline Paquita
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
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!
**********************
(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
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...
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.

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.
Edition of 1,000.

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!
8.5 X 5.5 in
Saddle stitched, 16 pages of content, Risograph printed.

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.
Risograph printed (blue), two color cardstock covers, 28 pages of content, rad centerfold...
7" X 14", folded in half, comes in a poly seven inch bag!
At over 2,500
copies made so far, I was ready to retire this, but the requests have
been coming in and I figured that I could pull off another 250... Not
sure I'll do it again though, so get em while you can!
