This is an updated version of the zine Mike published in 2024 with 8 extra pages (including a new review and extra photos).

It starts with a review of seeing the band in November of 1996 (lucky bastard!) by accident on his trip to London. Before he left the States, a friend told him to go check out "this new Scottish band." He did and the rest is history. 

Like me (I've seen B & S 9 times in 5 different states), Mike has traveled all over to see Stuart Murdoch and the gang and writes about it quite eloquently.

It includes reviews of the shows, set lists, and photos. B & S fans really need this one, and I'd call it a steal at $5!

Mixed medium (collage+ pencil and black pen), 2026

* when i was a child my father used to say: if something doesn’t have its own place, it should be thrown away.

This zine is a collection of paper remained from my collage works+ hand-drawn objects. Those things don’t have a certain placement around my house and, probably, some of it should be put into trash, but somehow the thought of it makes me sad.

This project is a train of thoughts of mine about being abandoned, useless, lonely, left out. But maybe if those small objects have a right to exist for their own sake-then so do i.

Another attempt at some kind of animation. This is getting closer to what I am trying to achieve. I’m hoping that I can look at some of the patterns I’ve made over the last couple of years and think about how changing the colors and alignment can lead to movement when placed into a series.  Art made using shapes and a grid I put together in Inkscape. GIF made by putting the finished images together using ezgif.
