🍎 MoCCA Fest 🍎 Secret Room Press is headed to New York to take a bit outta da big apple this week! We'll be tabling with all our books (including our new anthology Do You Love Me?), a bunch of RISO prints, and a very special NY-only sticker... reveal coming soon. Honored to be a part of this festival and so stoked for the absolutely insane lineup of talented comix folks. We'll be tabling at 123, right between our pals @zinehug and @floatingworldcomics . A heck of a row! . What kind of buffoonery should we get up to while we're in New York?? . Second slide pic is so you know who to say hello to when you run into us wanderin' around the big city!

Behind the scenes photos from the last couple o' Galaxy Gateway events. 🛸 Galaxy Gateway is one of my favorite art projects I've ever done. Maybe my absolute favorite. But it would be impossible to pull off alone! Obviously there are all the performers who read comics, play music, get in costume for interviews, do bizarre presentations, screen films, and all that good stuff, but we're *constantly* building new stuff for our filmed bits. I love it. 💫 Ultra low budget puppets, improvising stuff on the fly, trying to film before it starts raining, cramming into paper mâche headpieces. I couldn't do it without Cielle's dedication to making this goofball show work, and you'll see she's in half of these pictures painting, acting, and puppeteering. Isaac's been doing bits, recording music, and getting in costume since day one. Finally got Ross into character. 🌀 Thanks for coming to these events, it means a lot that whenever we put on a Galaxy Gateway I know people are on board for wherever the spaceship takes us.

New comic comin’ out FRIDAY! Feeling very grateful to have been asked to contribute to the Big Nose Rag, a new comix anthology edited and published by @bignosegirl.zines . I wrote a four page comic about an anxious dog and a marching bear having a rollicking and melancholy afternoon. ✌️ Come to the release party on Friday at @secretroompdx and see us read a bunch of wild comix on da big screen!

The beginning of a new year, with a focus on planning ahead. Finding opportunities for meditation and relaxation and friendship. Starting off strong. Writing in notebooks, cooking more meals at home, looking into the river, writing, drawing, living life.

Time continues to pass quickly, too many things are happening all the time. Life is jam-packed lately and sometimes there’s just enough time to slow down and reflect on it for a second. Having fun and goofing off. ✌️ Staying optimistic in spite of overwhelming bad vibes.
