what is formyths doing

is this turning into a tri-monthly newsletter.... perhaps... not really a lot but here's what i've been up to:

art ✎

a comic page: "tear out the flesh that displeases you! tear through the flesh of those that displease you! laugh at your future in their entrails! set fire to the halls! build a temple of every word against you! proclaim yourself as god! drown in your loneliness!" over an panels in an interlaced mosaic of ruins, fire, bones, and comets. 2nd page: "hurl yourself against your ruin! the heavens have set your course! you alone, you are alone under the heavens! dance over the rubble! let their bones underfoot pierce your soles! spit out the ash, and rejoice!" over interlaced scenes of waves, fire, ruins, and stars.

offerings - some bad advice for your new year.


a risograph print of a rabbit running over water, its reflection a white silhouette against the black ink

happy belated lunar new year! made some riso postcards (printed @ secret riso club) for the year of the rabbit.


a pencil drawing of a starry-headed figure in a cloak, kneeling on bird-like claws, a panel of a cut plant above apparition


a drawing of a creature, its lower body almost prancing, and its upper body splitting apart into a loose spinal chord, a single clawed foot on tattered skin, smoke around what would've been its head revealing a single eye

shapeshifter


an illustration: a pile of abandoned equipment, cables, & tanks with strange growths stands in the foreground in a shadowy abandoned lab. the imprint of an explosion extends from one corner, and dark marks on the floor trail off to a large broken window in a hallway.

resolution - trying to remember how to draw scenes again... also tried out a more muted/neutral color scheme here.


other stuff ✷

a gif that says 'dream journal 2022' over a sequence of small 1-2 panel drawings of dreams, in different colored pencils

all 300+ dream drawings i did last year are available in pdf form via itch - as usual there's some free copies.

i've also ordered some (smaller, curated) print editions which i'll hopefully be selling in person soon, starting with...


brooklyn independent comics showcase

i'll be tabling here on april 22! fingers crossed they get here in time but theoretically will have the dream journals + print editions of everything you will forget. hoping to be at a few more places over the next few months, will announce if/when they happen.


also will hopefully have a comics announcement soon! until then,
