Bulletshrimp! Red By Vince Kelly & Juliet Wang $20 tomorrow at the Burns Fine Arts Courtyard at LMU from 11am-3pm (Dec. 6th) Perfect Bound book, 8.5x11 in., 108 pages I’m very happy to share with you my first book. It was a year long project that consists of 4 short stories written by Juliet and me. I’d like to first and foremost thank Juliet for the two beautiful works that she wrote for this work. I’d like to also thank everyone who’s been a part of this journey with me since the beginning. It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you. Coming to LA 4 years ago, I knew nothing of self-respect. Coming from Jersey I didn’t even know being gay was an option but I am very proud of the work I’ve been able to accomplish. I’m proud of the platform I was able to give myself through my art to share what it means to be queer. And now here it is—on paper— a raw and genuine exploration of queer love, pain, hate, triumph, family, happiness etc. through these 4 short stories: 2% - a story of a lesbian couple struggling with their own relationship who decide to go on a journey to confront those who have caused them great pain. But I’m a Martian - a surreal collection of memories that highlight the importance of autonomy and self-determination. Fly on the Wall - A story of a man who comes to terms with his identity and writes love letters to his pen pal. Bite - A bitterly self-aware contemplation of the relationship one man shares with his inner demons and anger. Thank you, and I hope to see you tomorrow. Please take a look at some spreads from these 4 stories.

Next Friday, April 10th - Celebrate the release of @bulletshrimp ! Comics Issue #0003 “SODOM” Music by DJ's TASHEFF, HEYFAEBAE, & MICAH. The next comic “Sodom” reframes the biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah through a contemporary context directly discussing apartheid, neocolonialism, and genocide as applicable to what we are seeing around the world today.

Bulletshrimp! Comics: Sodom Issue #0003 Tabloid 64 pages Comic on newsprint Edition of 50 Written and Designed by: Vincent Kelly Starting at $35 @bulletshrimp I’ve reimagined the biblical destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in a contemporary context. An island-city called Sodom is comprised entirely of men who can breed with men. They are annexed by the United States in 1981 with a special interest in the island’s rich cobalt reserves. Lot, an American settler and member of the mining company “Epsilon Lux’s” board of directors is declared the victor of an election after the royal family of Sodom is overthrown. Years later, a sodomite by the name of Baxa loses his fathers after a deadly run in with the American settler authorities. Mass protests pressure Lot and his family to adopt Baxa. Baxa is adopted but is forced to work as a servant by the governing family who remains in power for more than 40 years. This issue follows Baxa’s life, his disgust for how poorly the Americans have treated the Sodomites, and his almost omniscient demystified perspective on how the Americans profit off of apartheid and genocide. This issue discusses sensitive and serious topics related to violence, abuse, apartheid, and genocide. I created this to bring awareness to these issues and help explain the reasons marginalized groups and resource-rich foreign countries are calculatedly victimized by the United States. I will be selling this issue at Singers on April 10th from 8pm-12am at the “Sodom” comic release starting at $35. This is a queer publication with a specific intended audience of queer people. There are two posters that come with the purchase of this work. One is the detachable sheath whose front and back is featured in slides 18 and 19. The other is Bulletshrimp! Pinball which is featured on slide 20.
