what is formyths doing

hello! here's what i've been working on (not a lot) + some more tabling news.

art ✎

a utilitarian platform rises from a field, equipment and antenna sprouting off of it. a person in an orange vest & long coat stands on it, gazing at a ruined concrete structure in the distance. red-pink fungi-like tendrils rise through it, supporting a star-like growth in the yellow sky.

growth


a bird, neck looping in on itself, perches on tree roots amid flooded ruins

a sighting - recolored this piece from 2021

sketchbook guys from tabling down time


a cover for "shapeshifter" by A Liang Chan, the title in spiky letters curving around a chimera-like creature, spine & flames emerging from it. risograph printed in bright gold & mist 2 drawings: 3 wings emerge from the neck of a clawed, 3-limbed creature. a shooting star bursts through the body of another creature with hooved hindlegs and canine forelegs. 2 drawings: fabric wraps around the head of an elongated, canine-like creature, one limb strangely human. another curls back on itself, its neck dissolving into fungi-like filament a drawing of a creature, almost prancing, its upper body splitting apart into a loose spinal chord & a single clawed foot on tattered skin. smoke obscures its head, revealing a single eye

put together some shapeshifter drawings in to a little zine! 12 pages, riso printed in bright gold with an additional layer of mist on the cover. thanks to everyone who picked up a copy during my mini store opening - there will be more to come.


other stuff ✷

thanks so much to everyone who picked up something from my store! i'm working on getting everything mailed out this week.

in a twist of fate my ipad died last weekend... not the expenses i originally had in mind when i opened the store but it did help take the edge off getting a replacement :'')
