Copies of The Rat for the low low price of £1!
Independent publishing has never been easy. After 7-ish years of doing this, we’re still figuring out the details. Trying to keep sale prices low means printing more copies, which can leave us in the fun position of getting stuck with dead stock. It can be hard to get things right.
So… on a completely unrelated note, we are moving our home studio (again) and have about 150 copies of The Rat in storage that we would love to get rid of! You can grab a copy off our site now for a quid.
The Rat features work from 9 amazing artists, including: @theoelias@jhengstromwork@begumyetis@mille._98@collectedsearching@huntleymuir@sashakurmaz@olivier_pinfat@davidoreilly
With 140 pages of collages and photography, plus a free 60 page zine that comes included - you’d be mad not to get one.
If you’re a bookshop interested in taking some copies to give away or sell heavily discounted at your shop, give us a shout! We’d be happy to send you a box.
Slán go fóill!

Out now! Fun new project we made together with @jack.ashley
Jack came to us a while back with some photos of his Nan’s teddy bears and wanted us to come up with a zine built around the idea of them being angels around your bed that protect you while you sleep.
With a patchwork quilt collage for the cover, packaged in plastic wrap (sorry), every copy comes with different coloured stickers so each one is slightly different. The patchwork front cover folds out into a double sided A2 poster, decorated with some of Jack’s photographs that we lovingly cut up and collaged.

‘WE ARE EU’ was supposed to be published in protest of Brexit before it went ahead, but we never found a good time for it once the pandemic hit.
Feels like a relic of something impossible now. A wistful feeling. Hope that never materialised.
