ART JOURNAL — What Remains When the Fire Goes Out

A quieter week in the studio—less structure, more reflection. From unfinished canvases and creative blocks to sea air, rituals, and the slow return to painting, this issue explores what’s left when momentum fades.

Featuring studio notes, works in progress, original art, and a look at spectacle and violence through Those About to Die.

A zine for artists in the in-between.

„Chemical Darkness“ is zine nr. 2 in a series inspired by the notes on a wall.

Issue 30 of Black Spring Weekly is here — and she’s messy, moody, and full of ink.

This week, I dive into Gelli plate printing, charcoal experiments, print design woes, and finally finishing the underpainting for Temptation. There’s tarot, tunes, and a spotlight on the rebellious spirit of Japanese girl gangs — Sukeban.

The zine is completely FREE and packed with artist process notes, randomness, visual journals, works in progress, and unapologetic mess-making.

If you’re into behind-the-scenes grit, dreamy updates, and following an indie artist without the algorithm, this is for you.
