Check out photos of the exhibition by following this link. If you're stopping by Scranton to see this glory in person, be certain to look in on the concurrent show about: bats.

In-towners should head down tonight and join the party. Out-of-towners should hold tight while we make Cyrus sign copies that you can then purchase from us. Or, if you don't feel like waiting, just buy it right this very moment.

Cyrus will be joined by Nancy Skolos and Tom Wedell as they celebrate the release of their new book, Graphic Design Process : From Problem to Solution.

The Design Office has a photo of letterpress print maestro Dan Wood working on Graphic Design Process. He's going to get his hand caught in that press if he's not careful.

Breaking: two new photos zines by Nigel Peake published by Analogue Books. Both chronicle Peake's time traveling, in Shanghai and in America (starring my cat Nook) respectively.

Also available, previous Showcase artist Steven Harrington has a new book out with Nieves.

And seriously what better time in history to support a for real tangible newspaper. The first and best thing about Mothers News is that I can hold it in my hands. The second and best is that it's made by Jacob & Providence. The third is when Jacob ACTUALLY USES the ads I draw. The fourth is when I find an old issue beneath my bed, covered in cat-hair tumbleweeds, and I get to finish reading it from the part where I fell asleep.

PLEASE NOTE: This news is NEVER OLD. This news is factual, honest, and helpful information, plus writing from a broad array of contributors and exclusive original comics from some of the brightest artists in the field today. End quote.

I've been subscribing since subscriptions became available, even though the paper is free and around the city, because I didn't want to ever feel any pressure to leave my house. Best move I ever made. Now you can make it, too.

Further: When's the last time you got mail that wasn't 1) a circular 2) an internet bill or 3) some other bill? Treat yourself.

Of note: this is the only publication Tiny Showcase has ever paid to advertise in. Highlighting a similar ethos (TS: "Printing whatever feels right since 2004" ) (MN: "Publishing whatever we want to"), it's not too far out on any constructed limb to say that the spirit of this newspaper is directly in line with everything I'm adamantly in love with about making things/ this city and the whatever and yet industrious way we/ it conducts its business.
